Infighting erupts between Turkish-backed factions in Syria’s Aleppo countryside
2022-02-21
If they happen to wipe each other out, nobody will be the slightest bit upset, not even their mothers.


“Violent festivities took place between the two factions at a military checkpoint at the entrance to the town of Qabasin near the city of al-Bab, which resulted in the injury of a member of the Civil Police, after the latter arrested two members of 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...
," a local source told North Press.

"Ahrar al-Sham mobilized its members, and sent a force to Qabasin town, in addition to the faction’s closure of the roads leading to it due to the festivities," the source added.

He pointed out that the Ahrar al-Sham faction took control of the Civil Police checkpoints in the city, amid the intervention of the Military Police in al-Bab and the leadership of the Levant Front faction to resolve the dispute between the two factions.

Since 2017, al-Bab city has been under the control of the Ottoman Turkish-backed armed Syrian factions following Operation Euphrates Shield, which was led by The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
and Ottoman Turkish-backed Syrian factions.

Areas controlled by the Ottoman Turkish-backed factions have been witnessing security chaos accompanied by frequent explosions and infighting, in addition to cases of abductions and corruption amid the failure of these factions to maintain security.
