Civil activities in the city of Ma'arat al-Nu'man declared their independence from the Government of Salvation, accusing them of obstructing their work and causing the interruption of support.

"We confirm that we do not recognize the Government of Salvation or any government affiliated with military parties, and we emphasize the independence of all institutions operating in the city as independent institutions that have nothing to do with any military authority," the statement said.

They explained that their decision came "in view of the practices carried out by the HTS-led Government of Salvation of collecting royalties and imposing taxes and obstructing the work of organizations and associations and other institutions operating in liberated areas, the most recent being the interruption of support from the Directorate of Education because of their unfair and illegal interventions in their work" .

It is noteworthy that the "Syrian Liberation Front" or Jabhat Tahrir Syria (JTS) with the help of the people was able last month to expel the members of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) from the city of Ma'arat al-Nu'man after the latter had seized control over the city last year following battles against the "Division13" and "Ahrar Al Sham Movement."
