what’s happening in Syria

FACT SHEET

Who

A coalition of rebel groups displaced from all parts of Syria under the Joint Military Operations Command with different ideological and political views but united in: 

  • Liberating Syria from the Dictator Bashar al-Assad and his allies, including Iran, Hezbollah, Iranian Aligned Militia Groups (IAMGs), and Russia.  (And ISIS)

Why

Since 2011, a million Syrian have been killed, half of the population of Syria has been displaced from their homes, and around 5 million civilians have been trapped in an ever-shrinking space in Northwest across parts of Idlib and northern countryside of Aleppo continuing to be under bombardment to this day. Liberating cities enables these internally displaced civilians to return home, and gives hope for a safe future and democracy in Syria. Until Syria is liberated, all civilians face massacres, bombardment, detainment, and other war crimes like chemical weapons used against them with impunity.

What

  • Civilians who have been displaced by the Assad regime since 2011 have been able to return to their homes and rejoin their families. 
  • Thousands of civilians unjustly detained by the regime in different prison branches including Aleppo Central Prison have been released and are reuniting with their loved ones for the first time in years. 
  • According to residents, the opposition forces are providing services such as electricity regularly, which was lacking under the Assad regime rule.
  • The opposition forces are protecting civilians in the liberated areas including all Syrian  minorities such as Orthodox Christians, Catholic Christians, Armenians, Kurds and Shia Muslims; reaffirming their commitment to protecting Syrians. 
  • Russian forces allied with the regime have been bombing civilian targets such as hospitals, schools and houses of worship, killing and injuring many children and women.
