Syrian rebel group Ahrar al-Sham says has 'reservations' about Syria agreement
 [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] A front man for a major Syrian rebel group said Thursday it had reservations about an agreement for a nationwide cease-fire and resumption of negotiations and was not among the groups that had signed it."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 a number of reservations over the proposed agreement and the negotiations linked to it, and therefore has not signed it. We will make clear our reservations in due course," Ahmad Qura Ali, a front man for the powerful Islamist group, wrote on his Twitter account. Posted by: Fred 2016-12-30 |
