Russian Conciliation Center on the situation in Syria
“In order to exacerbate the humanitarian situation in Aleppo, the ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra terrorists continued attempts to establish control over the Aleppo and Homs highway,” the report said.
Work is continuing on the restoration of the liberated city of El Qariathein (Homs province). It is noted that "repair teams of Syrian builders repaired one building, and also cleared 75 of street meters from the rubble and restored 500 meters of power lines".
"Syrian sappers neutralized 9 of land mines laid by the militants during the retreat," added the Center.
In addition, the transfer of humanitarian goods to the residents of the provinces of Aleppo and Ham has been reported.
“The Russian Center for Reconciliation, together with the administration of the province of Aleppo, transferred 1,5 tons of humanitarian aid to residents of the settlement of Zhibrin. Residents of the locality of Tell-Salhab of the province of Hama have 3,5 tons of humanitarian aid delivered, based on food. Medical personnel of the Reconciliation Center provided medical assistance to 19 for local residents, ”the release says.
At the same time, the opposition group Syrian Free Army (FSA) announced an increased number of cases of ceasefire violation and did not rule out the possibility of withdrawing from the negotiation process.
“The intensity of the ceasefire violations by the regime is increasing, particularly in Aleppo, from the southern suburbs, where Iranian and Afghan militants are pulling in,” the SSA legal adviser agency Abu Zeid quotes.
“In addition, there are constant provocations and attacks by Kurdish groups towards the Castillo road, this is the only open line towards Aleppo. This is an attempt to block the only road leading to Aleppo, and thus to besiege more than 400 thousands of civilians, ”he said.
According to Zeid, "these violations and the failure to comply with humanitarian provisions can lead to the failure of a truce and a possible exit from the negotiation process."
“This requires a strong position on the negotiation process from the armed groups and the SSA,” said a spokesman for the FSA.
When asked whether his words “withdrawal from the negotiation process” meant Zeid replied: “This decision requires consideration, probably there will be a meeting of the leadership of the PAS to decide whether to continue to participate in the negotiations or not.”
“This indicates a lack of real pressure from the world community to ensure the advancement of negotiations in accordance with the Geneva agreements and UN resolutions,” said Zeid.
