With Syria’s major northern city of Aleppo already facing rocket fire from al-Qaeda forces in Idlib, the pro-government forces within the city itself are now causing trouble, with at least 11 reported killed in fighting between the Russian military and Shi’ite militias.
Details are still emerging, but the fighting seems to have taken place near a vegetable market, and several civilians are among the slain, and there are conflicting ideas of what caused the fighting in the first place.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights suggested that control over checkpoints was a big priority, with both sides charging people to cross the checkpoints, and considering it a substantial money-maker.
Others suggest recent Israeli airstrikes near Aleppo are also fueling the tensions, with some of the militias believing that Russia is effectively coordinating with Israel on the strikes, and looking to benefit when the militias end up in the line of fire.
Thank you McCain, Graham, Hillary and Obama for this horror!
You forgot Trump. Those troops were supposed to be home months ago.
comrade,,Are you a commie,,do tell Please! As to Trump, if he had a set of Ballz they would be out by now,,,but boss BiBi told him,,”No No Donald”.
Anarcho-commie. Former tankie. Lapsed Boshevik. Still vaguely Marxist. So, yeah, sort of. But I’m also a Voluntaryist. I’d vote for Libertarians if the Libertarians would nominate Libertarians again.
When will the Syrian Observatory go the same discredited route as the South Poverty Law Center?
It’s already discredited except on this website for some weird reason.
All bad things come to dicks who wait.
I am still waiting for some reliable sources to give an account. Even just some regular, regional rags in Turkey or Lebanon. Did not find anything yet.
Whatever it is/was, you csn count on UK intelligence to use worn out cliches to stir up trouble. Let us see how primitive imperial minds think they are cleverer then anybody else.
Line of thinking goes like this:
•
Shia that see Rusdians as protectors should be suspicious of Rusdians
•
Russians may be getting money on checkpoints
•
Russia is collaborsting with Israel, you stupid Shia in Syria, Iraq, Iran and elsewhere are played for fools
•
Russia’s defences are no good, bow to the West while you have a chance
In the meantime, both India and Brazil are getting ready to reopen Embassies in Damascus,
The jn reased militant provocation (not Shia) are all ahead of Astana meeting. Things are moving on Constitutional assembly, and this is the time for triuble mamers of all types and stryles to put a cog in the wheel.
Smells like false flags to me.
