#1 ahrar al sham was a creation of the Saudis and Turkey

the goal was to unite a number of smaller factions into one powerful anti Assad force - by 2013 or so they actually had somewhere near 10,000 active fighters and had won some victories against Assad's coalition

since then its been downhill - they were hammered by ISIS, al Nusra and the Assad coalition -- they probably have fewer than 1000 active fighters now
