Intense clashes breakout between Turkish-backed groups in Afrin
2018-06-11
[ALMASDARNEWS] Intense festivities broke-out between the Ottoman Turkish-backed rebel groups near the Afrin region of Aleppo, tonight, pro-opposition activists reported via social media.

According to these reports, Harakat 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...
and the Free Syrian Army
... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund...
’s Sultan Murad group have been involved in a fierce confrontation for several hours tonight.

The festivities are reportedly taking place in the area between the city of ’Azaz and Afrin region in northwest Aleppo.

The cause of these festivities is still unknown; however, as of recently, the rebel groups have been fighting over their share of the abandoned homes in Afrin.

With most of the population displaced, the Ottoman Turkish-backed rebels have taken the opportunity to loot and declare ownership of the abandoned homes.
