Interesting..... Former militants in Aleppo have en massed joined the fight against terrorist forces onside with the Syrian government, despite threats from former comrades.
Meanwhile, others have returned to civilian life. “That was indeed my personal decision,” said Saleb who is now a member of a volunteer assault corprs. “I will defend my people from militants and liberate my homeland from them.” “They promised us to build a just future, but are only bringing death and atrocities. These are crazy fanatics who can only do one thing – to kill. Civilians do not support them,” another amnestied militant, also a Syrian army soldier called Abdullah, told reporters. “I used to live in eastern Aleppo and had no means of subsistence to feed my family. On the other hand, the gunmen’s warehouses were stuffed with *western* humanitarian aid, but they distributed it only among the gunmen’s families. I joined their ranks not to die of starvation,” said another amnestied gunman, Mohammad Ahmad Jasim. As soon as the Syrian army launched an offensive, he immediately surrendered to the authorities, TASS reported. All the militants who decided to lay down their arms, undergo checks. Those who decided to join the army are provided with the necessary munitions. The process is ensured by the elders with the participation of the Russian Center for reconciliation of the warring parties in Syria, TASS revealed. https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/former-aleppo-militants-now-fighting-syrian-army-terrorist-forces/ -- -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
