Factions bombard the regime’s sites… and demonstrations reject “reconciliation” with it
Aleppo governorate, northern Syria, witnessed a wide wave of confrontations between the Turkish forces and allied Syrian factions, on one side, and the “Syrian Democratic Forces” (SDF) and the Syrian regime forces, on the other hand, a day following dozens of victims were killed by shelling targeting the city of Al-Bab, northeast Aleppo.
Yesterday, the people of Al-Bab carried out a general strike that paralyzed the facilities of life in the city to mourn the lives of the victims of the bombing, which was blamed on the regime forces. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the “massacre” left 17 dead, including 6 children, and 35 wounded. It was reported that opposition factions loyal to Turkey bombed the positions of the regime forces on the seam axes in the al-Bab countryside. The Turks and their allies also bombed with heavy artillery and rocket launchers 9 villages in the northern countryside of Aleppo within the areas of SDF deployment.
In the followingmath of the “Al-Bab Massacre,” the “Syrian Opposition Coalition” and opposition groups, including the “revolutionary coordination” and military factions, issued statements of condolences for the victims, which included holding the international community and its human rights institutions responsible for the “massacres and crimes” suffered by the Syrian people.
In a separate context, Syrian activists continued to stage demonstrations in cities and towns and organize vigils under the title “We are revolutionaries, not opposition”, in response to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu’s recent statements regarding Turkey’s pursuit of “reconciliation” between the opposition and the Syrian regime. Activists said that thousands of civilians protested the day before yesterday (Friday), angry demonstrations in the city center of Idlib, Sarmada, Kali, Kafr Arouk and Kafr Lusin in Idlib governorate, and in the cities of Marea, Akhtarin, Shamarkh and Bazaa in northern Aleppo, during which the demonstrators chanted, “No reconciliation with the Assad regime.”
