Dib-u-dhiska Ciidamada Soomaaliya: Qaraxyo ku dhaca goobaha hubka ay ka muuqdaan dhibaatooyin hor leh
Qaraxyo badan oo ka dhacay goobaha hubka iyo dharurowga Soomaaliya bishan ayaa muujiyay dhibaatooyin ku saabsan xakameynta iyo gudbinta hubka, iyadoo ciidamadu ay dib u dhisanayaan kadib dagaal ka socday muddo tobanaan sano ah.
Qaraxyada ugu dambeeyay iyo khasaaraha
Qaraxii ugu dambeeyay ayaa dhaawacay in ka badan afar qof subaxnimadii Isniinta, halkaas oo ku yaalla goob hub ah oo ku taal al-Eis, koonfurta Aleppo. Qarax kale oo ka dhacay Ayyash, galbeedka Deir Az Zor, ayaa dilay 11 askari, halka 14 qof oo ka tirsan wasaaradda difaaca ay ku dhinteen Sarmada, Idlib, 9-kii September.
Sidoo kale, 1-kii September, qarax hub ah oo ka dhacay Binnish, Idlib, ayaa dilay 5 qof. Tallaabooyinka Reuters ayaa sheegay in kamid ah 16 qarax oo kale ay ka dhaceen goobaha hubka tan iyo markii madaxweynihii hore ee Soomaaliya, Bashar al-Assad, uu ka baxay December 2024 kadib weerar ka dhacay dagaalyahannada mucaaradka.
Sababta qaraxyada: Dhaq-dhaqaaq iyo xadgudub
Wasiirka difaaca Soomaaliya ayaa sheegay in la baarayo sababta qaraxyada, iyadoo qaar ka mid ah ay la xiriiraan xaaladaha xakameynta hubka. Omer Ozkizilcik, oo ka tirsan Atlantic Council, ayaa sheegay in ciidamadu ay helaan caawinaad militar ah oo badan, taas oo keentay in hubka la keeno meelo aan la xakameyn karin.
Waxaa sidoo kale jira khayaal ku saabsan in la xadgudbay, gaar ahaan kadib weerarada Israel ee Soomaaliya, laakiin ma jiro caddeyn rasmi ah. Ismat al-Absi, oo ah xirfadlayaale amniga, ayaa sheegay in xaaladaha hubka oo aan la xakameyn karin ay keeneen in hubku uu noqdo mid aan la xakameyn karin.
Dib-u-dhiska ciidamada iyo xaaladda amniga
Ciidamada Soomaaliya ayaa weli ku jira muddo-dhac, iyadoo hubka laga soo ururiyay dowladdii hore iyo ciidamada SDF, kuwaas oo ka yimid dowladaha kale. Ozkizilcik ayaa sheegay in ciidamadu ay u baahan yihiin inay noqdaan kuwo caafimaad qaba, laakiin hadda ma ahan.
Al-Absi ayaa sheegay in xaaladda hubka oo aan la xakameyn karin ay keeneen in hubku uu noqdo mid aan la xakameyn karin, taas oo keentay in hubku uu noqdo mid aan la xakameyn karin.
A wave of explosions at military sites across Syria this month has drawn attention to the challenges facing the country's armed forces as they rebuild after more than a decade of conflict. At least 16 such incidents have struck arms depots since President Bashar al-Assad's fall in December 2024, with casualties ranging from four injured to 14 killed in a single blast.
A Month of Blasts Across Multiple Provinces
The most recent incident injured at least four people in the early hours of Monday morning at an arms depot in al-Eis, south of Aleppo. Earlier this month, a blast in Ayyash, west of Deir Az Zor, killed 11 soldiers, while another on September 9 claimed 14 defence ministry personnel in Sarmada, Idlib.
Also in Idlib, five people were killed when a vehicle carrying ammunition exploded in the town of Binnish on September 1. The Syrian Defence Ministry said it is investigating the causes behind the recurrent explosions to prevent future incidents.
Neglect and Infrastructure Failures Cited
Security analysts are divided on the root causes, with some pointing to a lack of professional infrastructure and others highlighting the potential for foreign interference. Omer Ozkizilcik of the Atlantic Council explained that the Syrian military is reorganising from what it was under al-Assad, consolidating weapons from different sources and integrating various forces.
Storing large quantities of ageing ammunition for years in poor conditions, such as high temperatures or humidity, can accelerate their deterioration and lead to them becoming unstable. The current warehouse infrastructure suffers from severe ageing; most of it dates back decades and does not meet international safe storage standards.
Sabotage Fears Amidst Ongoing Tensions
The repeated explosions have led to some fears of sabotage, particularly in light of repeated Israeli attacks against Syria since the fall of al-Assad, many of which have targeted the military. Ozkizilcik noted that there was no public information about possible sabotage being behind the weapons depot explosions, and no evidence of any direct Israeli links.
The main loopholes that could have allowed sabotage operations are the absence of smart surveillance, relying on traditional human guarding instead of remote sensors and thermal movement detection. The weakness of security discipline during the restructuring phase of the military institution has made some sites vulnerable to penetration or internal manipulation.
