Original
We gathered, the enemy began increasing the water levels of the river on the night of 8/20-21. We tried to cross the force to attack Shwan, but the river did not allow passage at the appropriate points, and it is protected by the enemy, so the attack on Shwan from the river front was impossible. Defending the Safin battalion area is important because it stops all enemy attacks on the plain areas, and this is done by the Halgurd battalion and the 2nd Safin battalion led by the Doctor and Abdul Rahim, and returning the Rizgari forces to their areas for reorganization and returning the rest of the forces to their areas. Our opinion to solve this problem is to implement the plan to occupy Dukan as soon as possible and appoint Rashid Sindi as commander of the Rizgari force. Please reply.
