All opposition factions, active in the besieged neighborhoods of Aleppo city, announced merge under one commandership, forming one faction called “The Army of Aleppo”.

RFS correspondent in Aleppo, Mutaz Khattab, said that all factions active in the city announced unification in one faction called the Unified Army of Aleppo, which will be mainly responsible for repelling regime’s attacks against besieged neighborhoods of the city, and then launching a military operation to lift the siege imposed by regime forces on hundreds of thousands of civilians in Aleppo, and accordingly regaining control of all neighborhoods recently seized by Assad forces and militias.



Khattab added that “Abo Abdul Al Rahman” was nominated as the chief commander of the new Army, and “Abo Basheer Maara” was nominated as a general commander.

Noteworthy that opposition-controlled neighborhoods of Aleppo have been besieged for around 100 days, with deteriorating humanitarian conditions, which demands a huge military operation to save civilians in those neighborhoods.
