Another ‘moderate’ opposition group, the Suqour al-Sham Brigade, has joined Jabhat Fateh al-Sham and its allies.
The Suqour al-Sham Brigade, also known as the Sham Falcons Brigade, an armed rebel group, has joined the Jaish al-Fateh organization, which consists of a number of various groups, including the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (previously known as the Al-Nusra Front or the Jabhat al-Nusra).
Earlier, in March, the Suqour al-Sham Brigade merged with the Ahrar ash-Sham, which is also a member of the Jaish al-Fateh, but now the organization has announced a direct cooperation with the coalition of multiple Islamist and Salafist units, Jaish al-Fateh. Another well known ‘moderate group’, Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zenki (its members beheaded of a boy in Aleppo), is also a member of Jaish al-Fateh.
Such mergers are another testimony of the fact that Syrian ‘moderate’ opposition and terrorist groups, such as the Al-Nusra Front and its allies, are the same.
The more they merge the bigger the target for the Russian and Syrian airforces and the less the debate as to whether they are ‘good’ or ‘bad’ terrorists.
