Abu Yusuf al-Mohajer, the military spokesman of Ahrar al-Sham Islamic Movement said that the UN is having double standers concerning what's happening in Syria, wondering why “we didn’t hear any calls to end the fighting when the regime forces besieged the liberated neighborhoods in Aleppo, and why they are seeking now to stop the fighting after the siege on the liberated neighborhoods was broken”.
al-Muhajer said in a speech with Baladi News: “at the time the United Nations call for stopping the fighting in Aleppo, they take no action against the regime's crimes in Madaya, Darayya, al-Rastan, al-Houleh and al-Wa’ar", stressing that the United Nations is supporting the Syrian regime. He also wondered: "Why don’t they call to stop the regime from dropping barrel bombs over Darayya which has become the capital of barrel bombs. Why don’t they call to break the siege on al-Houleh, al-Rastan, al-wa’ar and the eastern Ghouta”.
He also noted that the United Nation is really taking the regime's side by asking to end the fight in Aleppo, given the fact that Jaish al-Fatah has made great progress and broke the siege of 300 thousand civilians. Moreover, all these strenuous efforts are to give the regime along with the Iranian militias a chance to rearrange their lines and catch their breath, but this will never happen with or without the UN efforts.
The military spokesman confirmed that Jaish al-Fateh will never stop fighting until they liberate all of Aleppo. "Working in Aleppo will never stop and you will witness some surprises very soon. As for stopping the fighting, it depends on reinforcing all the vast areas which Jaish al-Fatah has taken control over in order to continue attacking", he added. He also confirmed that no one can put pressure on Jaish al-Fatah, adding that there isn't any kind of military support from anyone. We are witnessing pressures on some of the supported factions such as al-MOC as what's happening currently in Daraa. Our support comes through our booties from the regime forces."
Many sources have confirmed to Baladi news that Jaish al-Fatah is reinforcing the areas they took over while giving time to the regime soldiers to defect before launching the fourth stage of Aleppo's battle. This stage is different because it aims at gaining vast areas in Aleppo including many neighborhoods.
Jaish al-Fatah has issued a statement telling the people of Aleppo about launching the fourth stage in order to break the siege.
The statement included three messages to the civilians of Aleppo:
“To all people of Aleppo, Muslims and Christians, our goal is to defend the oppressed people by ousting this vicious regime. Whoever has not cooperated with the regime or harmed people, should never fear for himself, his family, house, property or trade.”
The second message was to the regime soldiers: “ To all those under the regime's command, you still have the chance to repent, you have a few days to defect, otherwise you will regret when you see our fighters at your gates.”
The third message told al-Fatah fighters to be merciful to civilians “we recommend the militants to be good to the people of Aleppo, have mercy on the little and respect the elderly, whoever stays in his house is safe, whoever seeks haven in a mosque or a church is safe”.
The statement was issued last Sunday in which al-Fatah declared how they responded to the calls of the rebels and civilians trapped in Aleppo and how they started the battle and won it in six days in addition to many messages and reassurances to the civilians in the regime-held areas.
