Two British brothers are killed while fighting in Syria's civil war

Two British siblings, who were radicalized in UK mosques, died while fighting Kurdish rebels in Northern Syria. The Kurdish rebels, who are predominantly Sunni Muslims, have switched sides and allied themselves with the Syrian government out of hatred for the Saudi-backed foreign extremists entering their country.

Updated: A few concerned Eritreans have requested Madote.com to delete this article because it may give the wrongful impression that such issues are prevalent among Eritreans. While it's true that terrorism and Islamic fundamentalism is almost unheard of in Eritrea and within the Eritrean communities in the diaspora, it does need to be noted that Islamic extremists in the UK are targeting minorities of African descent to fight for their terrorist causes. This piece is a reminder to the Eritrean communities in the diaspora, particularly those in the UK, to stay vigilant against these Wahhabi extremists.

-----------

A picture showing what appears to be two British brothers of Eritrean origins was released yesterday by Charles Lister, an analyst working for the London-based Jane’s Terrorism and Insurgency Centre.

The brothers, who have been identified as being Mohammed Sabah and Akram Sabah, were killed on September 15 in Hasakah, Syria, during an intense battle with PKK (Kurdish) rebels.

Born and raised in the UK, Mohammed and Akram, who went by the nom de guerre "Abu Abdur Rahman Al Eritri" and "Abu Usamah Al Eritri" in Syria, were radicalized in British mosques by Wahhabi clerics before heading for Syria.

Once in Syria, the brothers were separated among two of the largest terrorist groups: Jebhat Al Nusra, a predominantly Syrian extremist group, and the Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (Syria), a militant group comprised of mostly foreign fighters.

While the circumstances leading to their deaths isn't entirely clear, one insurgent, who styles himself as battalion commander from the Jebhat Al Nusra front, did tweet a graphic image of what he claims are the deceased bodies of the brothers in mid-September.

Syria, a country once known for its peaceful coexistence of religious groups, is facing a vicious sectarian war in which Saudi-backed Takfiri militant groups are attempting to create a strict Islamic caliphate.

Despite tens of thousands of foreign jihadist flooding into Syria, the Syrian army has gained the upper hand of late; managing to push back the Takfiri militants out of key areas, including Qusayr, Safira, Maaloula and nearly all of Homs.

  1. These young guys are victims too. They had a full life ahead of them but because they believed in fairy tales from the stone ages, they are now rotting away in Northern Syria. What's even worse is, the Wahaabi/Salafi scums that recruited them in Europe will live to see another day, while these young men are buried in a land they had no business of setting foot on.

    RIP brothers, death is promised to us all. You just happened to beat us to it.

  4. I doubt there are even 10 Eritreans fighting in Syria. Islamic extremism is virtually non-existent in Eritrea. But even if there are, let them all become fertilizers. We don't have time to deal with people who put the Wahaabi cult (Saudi nationalism) ahead of Eritrea's national interests.

  5. Yup. Wahabism/Salfism is the root cause of all Islamic terrorism. You don't see Sufis or Shia Muslims blowing themselves up. Every terrorist is a Wahaabi/Salafi (same thing, really). The minute the world goes after Saudi Arabia is the minute this Saudi brand of Islam will go away.

  6. False and wrong. These are Eritreans by descent or background, not necessarily only nationals. Second, often, FSA and its Sectarian affiliates publicize the background of its fighters for the sake of attracting and recruiting new tools/fighters -- usually after deceased. Also, many fighters come from Saudi Arabia -- and among of them some are Somali, Eritrean, and others.

  7. I've always said, after Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia is the biggest enemy of Eritrea. Let's hope the Eritrean government keeps its distance from this barbaric kingdom.

  8. This is the fault of the guys (for being naive and ignorant), parents (for not keeping closer tabs), and Eritrean Gov't + local community -- some people have become outcasts as result of little pluralism. So what seems and starts of as outliers will steadily grow into many, then most for the majority of Eritrean Muslim youth, whose families subscribe to the viewpoints of modern islam (Saudi wahabism).

  9. Could these young guys not learn from the duplicity and flaws of
    Mujahadeen in Afghanistan ??? Look at Afghanistan post-Soviet,
    was there Sharia? Were guys' mothers, sisters, wives, daughters progressing?

    In Syria, there exists a legitimate government. All tribes and religions share in Syria, just no extremist - or narrow-minded bigoted persons are welcome -- only disclaimer. But these tools were brainwashed to believe otherwise.

  10. Biggest enemy of Eritrea? Ethiopia allows more Eritreans to go to school, work, and ask for asylum elsewhere. IN Saudi, they never heard of rights for others.

    Don't kid yourself.

  11. Dear Madot Admin

    Myself and other Eritreans were discussing the wisdom of publicising this 'Article' on a pro Government website. Many us feel strongly, this publication serve nothing but to link Eritrea to two misguided individuals who are far removed from the ethics of being Eritrean. What is more it is also playing into the hands of our ditractors by giving them ammunition to further fabricat stories agains Eritrea.

    I strongly urge you to consider removing this publication.

    Kind regards

  12. Nice try Ethiopian rat. Ethiopia is Africa's biggest exporter of refugees. Tens of thousands of Ethiopian refugees are living in Eritrea as we speak. Ethiopia doesn't even have the capacity to feed itself, let alone offer services to its neighbors who statistically speaking, are living better than the average Ethiopian.

    We get it. You hate Saudis because they are killing and raping Ethiopian refugees in Saudi. You probably also hate their religion because you're likely a Christian fundamentalist. My grievances with Saudi Arabia is simple: stop funding extremists to go and die in wars that have nothing to do with them.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Now listen here propaganda-minister. You can claim this or that all you want, fact is there are more (number and percentage wise) Eritrean refugees in Ethiopia. I'm not happy about it, but I don't let my ego dilute my thinking and obscure the truth. No, I hate peoples that use religion to advance their motives and interests. Saudi exports the 'official version' of islam, opens madrasas, and always has someone to indoctrinate the young and innocent.Same thing as Americans do with some christian denominations in third-world.

  14. The lone fact they are Eritrean and died abroad for some weird cause warrants it be known and thus posted here. If you choose to differ and want to hide the truth, why even call yourself Eritrean in the first place.

    Two misguided individuals who lost their lives in a distractive war that has nothing to do with them is no concern to me. Madote is a products that serves the interest of Eritrea and its people. It shouldn't lower the high standard by engaging in such pointless and sensationalist non story that matters to Eritrea in the slightest.

  18. Daniel - in fact it is good because it should serve as a warning to the Government of Eritrea to watch out for these elements who may be entering Eritrea as peaceful citizens. Besides, this are British nationals and even if they were holding Eritrean passport, it is PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Transparency is a good start.

  25. You need to stop watching Eritrean TV and follow the news in Syria and its nothing to do with Saudi they both lived in London. In relation to their parents they are both adults and make their own decision they were not selling drugs or mugging people

  26. Who said anything about Eri-TV? You must taking mushroom drugs imaging unsaid things into existence. So what if they lived in London, there things called sources of influence. You may still be learning, so I suggest you go study Sociology-101. Halye

  27. I agree with you Daniel, this article is better off if not published. It is even better now to take it down before many people see it and link it to Eritrea. Better late than not. Plus, these brothers are more like British - it is only their root that's Eritrean and they don't represent Eritrea or Eritreans in anyway whats so ever.


    There are many Eritreans also part of the American army and who are helping out in Afghanistan get rid of these terrorists - what would you say of them. Again with all due respect, please remove it.

  28. Eritrean security services are capable of knowing their staff. Madote. com publicising story doesn't Eritrea one bit except to give the likes of 'Eritrean Muslim' to have a field day with their nonsense.

  29. fight some undemocratic/dictatorship country, then do a clean/mop-up, and repeat it again in another country.
    So Eritreans fighting in the Army are just as stupid.

  30. help brothers and sisters in Syria, that's laughable. if all the minorities are behind bashar including christians and kurds are aligned,
    then what syrian brothers and sister are they helping. you're obv being mouthfed bbc day and night bullock. the west propagates it's a fight for democracy, but saudi and al-jazeera say it's for sharia. don't tell me your a tool as well?!

  33. I hope no more Eritreans go out to Syria to fight a battle that is not there's. One death is one too many. There is many other problems among Eritreans that you can be helping for example the Eritreans in Sinai desert getting tortured and rapped (Muslims and Christians). If you want to sacrifice you're life for something sacrifice it for these people. NOT for a group of people that rips internal organs out of humans and eats it then posts it on YouTube. That's ludicrous. For those Muslim Eritreans that keep going to these Muslim countries for battle, holidays etc... LOOK IN THE MIRROR.. If you are Muslim doesn't mean you are an Arab!! Find your roots. Eritrea is beautiful, Find a gap in your busy schedule and see it for yourself. Muslims and Christians getting along like brothers and sisters.
    Peace to ALL

  37. Very useful information. Bringing out truth to the forefront will serve to make more awareness within the community and help protect it from the vile doctrine of islamic madness.
    The root of all evil is Saudi Arabia and it's teachings. In fact, being more honest, I think islam itself is in urgent need to be faced and tamed as it has serious problems in its Quran and Sunnah

    ReplyDelete
  38. 'Take care of my own before I open my mouth' - wtf dat suppose to mean??There are many Islamist extremists in European jail and prison, some of which include Somali, Ethiopian, and Eritrean. Whether one Eritrean is Muslim, Christian, or agnostic - we all should care and try to help.

  41. Laughable maybe to you but for a Muslim its understandable to help your brothers in need with donation or your soul, The Majority of Christians and Catholics support Assad because they think the day he is out of power and killed by the rebels, that's the day they will be massacred by the same side that supports al-qaeda the Syria media keeps saying this to receive support from the Christian and Kurds .I am happy to be mouth feed by the bbc and the power of the net then your Eritrean TV you need to change the channel because you are missing out in useful information.

  42. diidnt they go to fight oppression in syria.. what terrorism you guys talking bout.. or is every war a muslim fights for is terrorism. now i didnt read the finer details of the story, but any one fighting against bashar al asad is fighting for the people..

  43. You my friend, are greatly misled or misinformed. When the FSA group ( dubbed 'rebel') endorses a colonialist flag [source: http://alturl.com/ji3i8], and tortures, de-limbs, summarily executes POW's through beheading -- that is not freedom [source: http://alturl.com/pxi5x + http://alturl.com/je2uf]. When you have FSA islamists abroad from different corners of the world invading one country and waging war and get paid-- these are mercenaries (http://alturl.com/beiuy).

    ReplyDelete
  44. When these FSA people go around claiming massacres but themselves upload self-incriminating videos of they themselves slitting throats of government-supporters including women and children [source: http://alturl.com/zowmf], they are terrorists and killers! When FSA go around cutting heads of Christians Priests (who 99% supporter Bashar because's he is secular politician) -- then what else is there to say? [source: http://alturl.com/9b6bu],

  45. I am an Eritrean living in London. I don't know about you but who ever wrote this article has no clue of the implications this might have on us Eritreans living here. The last thing we want right now is to associate 'Eritrean' with 'Radicalism'. People don't really care what the article says, the words that stand out in any literature in this century will stand out and will be associated. If you think people will give it a second thought if stories like this are shared and reshared, NO. For the sake of us peace loving Eritreans here, please don't partake in painting an image. There already is a growing anti-immigration sentiments in this country! Make your selves look better not bad!!

  50. you see i am looking for a muslim girl that is willing to push the limits. no nine year olds like the pedophile mohammad, you have to be over 18. i
    will cover all expenses for a year but i own you. i will put 200000 in
    your bank account but you cant have access to it until the year is completed. the catch is that i get to do any vile thing i want, without hearing
    no. no back talk. you will refer to me as mr, master, or sir. you will be totally submissive. doing it on camera, online,
    with my friends, with total strangers, anything. goal is 900 men in 365
    days. 500 bonus for each over that amount. all holes will be open for
    business. i will set up each days activities, the website and tube
    site conversions. you will always say yes, to s ex, tattoos, piercings,
    body modifications, extreme stretching of orifices, work with men,
    women, trann ies, and freaks of all kinds. covering your body with pigblood and butter before letting jews pound your brown eye will be only done on the sabbath and jewish holidays. Defiling my women is an art and the destruction of self respect, morals, and boundaries of any kind is beautiful. So who is woman enough for this wild ride

Just because they are muslim and do not live in eritrea you disregard it. Please tell me what eritrea does for its people? These two people are dead and cannot speak for themselves so do not speak ill of them or say anything to disrespect their families.
