Just after midnight on 13 August, Shabab al-Islam (Ashab al-Kahf — owned/non-official) posted a two-line message stating that sovereignty requires the confinement of the state's weapons to the hands of the factions, because the government had apparently changed its position on sovereignty halfway. The post is the channel's own wording, not a relay of another party's statement. What supports it is the text itself; nothing in the window corroborates or contradicts the position as a wider faction line.

“Sovereignty requires state weapons control to be in the hands of the factions, because the government apparently changed its position on sovereignty halfway.”
السيادة محتاجة حصر سلاح الدولة بيد الفصائل لأن الحكومة الظاهر غيرتهة ع السيادة نص ردن
another tracked faction channel repeating the inverted حصر السلاح formulation; an Ashab al-Kahf official channel or spokesperson issuing it under its own name rather than an owned media account; or a government statement on weapons monopoly drawing a faction reply — any of these moves this file.
