KSS then Ashab al-Kahf repeat electricity ghost-pay line

WHAT HAPPENED

On 16 August Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi (KSS — affiliated) posted that the Electricity Ministry had decided to link the biometric system to salaries automatically and had found fictitious names on staff lists. Nine minutes later Shabab al-Islam (Ashab al-Kahf — owned) posted that same sentence. No other collected channel carried the line, and neither post added a faction comment of its own.

WHY IT MATTERS

The match is a checkable republication across a KSS-affiliated channel and an Ashab al-Kahf-owned channel on state payroll administration; identical text records amplification, not shared command.
