US-Backed ‘moderates’ Reject Nationwide Ceasefire, Officially
[SOUTHFRONT.ORG] Ahrar al-Sham...a Syria jihadi group made up of Islamists and salafists, not that there's that much difference, formed into a brigade. They make up the main element of the Islamic Front but they don't profess adoration of al-Qaeda and they've been fighting (mainly for survival) against the Islamic State. Their leadership was wiped out at a single blow by a suicide kaboom at a crowded basement meeting in September, 2014... has officially rejected a nationalwide ceasefire proposal pushed by the United States and Russia. Ahrar al-Sham is one of the largest Syrian krazed killer groups. Despite the radical views, the group is often called the "moderate opposition" by the Western Media and is supported by the United States. On September 12, Deputy Leader of Ahrar al-Sham ’Abo Ammar al-Omar’ publicly rejected the ceasefire proposal in the Eid message. According to al-Omar, the problem is that the ceasefire will exclude from the agrreemennt some Syrian "opposition" groups... for example the Jabhat Fatah al-Sham (formerly Jabhat Al-Nusra) terrorist group and other Al Qaeda affilates in Syria. The proposed ceasefire is set to be started today at 16:45 local time. However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... there are serious doubts that it will be de-facto implemented on the ground. Posted by: Fred 2016-09-13 |
