Shafaq News/ The new Syrianadministration under Ahmad al-Sharaa has awarded high military ranks to severalcivilians and foreign fighters, a move criticized as "illogical" atthis stage.
The decision, signed by al-Sharaa,granted the rank of major general to Murhaf Abu Qasra, the defense minister inthe interim government, and awarded the rank of colonel to several foreignfighters.
According to military and strategicexpert Ahmed Rahal, as reported by Arab media, what occurred cannot beconsidered a "promotion" in the traditional military sense."Promotions in the military involve advancing from one rank to a higherone. However, when 80% of those receiving these ranks are civilians, notofficers, it cannot be called a promotion. Essentially, it is the granting ofmilitary ranks," he explained.
Rahal further stated that grantingmilitary ranks to foreign fighters, including Jordanians, Albanians, Turkmen,and Tajiks, “raises many questions about the legal and political basis for thisdecision,” noting that “these ranks were awarded without any officialclarification.”
"Were these individuals grantedcitizenship? What military or political justification is there for awardingthem military ranks at this time? Will we see them in future positions withinthe Ministry of Defense or other military bodies in Syria?” he asked.
This move has sparked mockery inIraq, with bloggers sharing it and calling it an “Iraqi-style decision."
