Maulvi Abdul Hamid on the presence of Fatemiyoun and Zainabiyoun militias in Sistan and Baluchestan: “Rely on the people, the entry of forces will not be successful”
According to the report today Friday, September 17, 1405, Maulvi Abdul Hamid Esmailzai, the Imam of the Friday prayers in Zahedan, referred to reports about the entry and establishment of the Fatemiyoun and Zainabiyoun factions in Sistan and Baluchestan, in his Friday prayer sermons, referring to reports about the entry and establishment of the Fatemiyoun and Zainabiyoun factions in Sistan and Baluchestan, to the use of foreign forces in Sistan and Baluchestan.
Maulvi Abdul Hamid said in this regard: “It is heard that foreign and proxy militias are being brought into Sistan and Baluchestan province.” He continued by stating that he does not see “much success” in this policy, and addressed the responsible party: “Rely on the people and work by building trust with the people.”
He also recognized that local people can defend their region and country against threats and take into account the power of local forces.
These statements were made while reports have been published in recent days about the increase in Fatemiyoun and Zainabiyoun militias in various parts of Sistan and Baluchestan, including around Zahedan, Mirjaveh, Saravan, Rask and the southern regions of the province.
According to previous reports, in some areas, they are affiliated with these groups and have been patrolling, stopping and questioning Balochistan. Reports have also been published about some local Basij bases belonging to Fatemiyoun and Zainabiyoun militias.
On Friday, September 10, 1405, at least four Fatemiyoun militias were killed in the Rudmah Korin area of Zahedan after gunmen shot them and their vehicle caught fire. This incident occurred before the recent reports about the expansion of these forces in the province.
Fatemiyoun and Zainabiyoun are militia groups supported by the Islamic Republic, which may have been recruited from among the Shiites of Afghanistan and Pakistan and have a history of military activities in Syria.
Reports on the deployment and activities of Iranian militias in various regions of Sistan and Baluchestan are being published at the same time that official and independent information about their deployment and missions in this province has not been fully published.
