The Unified Command of Eastern Ghouta district near Damascus called on
Nusra Front to join its alliance instead of forming 'Fatah Army in
Ghouta,' according to statement issued Friday,
The statement of the key rebel group in embattled Suburbs of Damascus came in response to a call by al-Qaeda's Syria wing for rebel groups operating in Eastern Ghouta to form Ghouta's version of Fatah Army, like what Nusra did in Idlib province and Qalamoun region.
The Unified Command that includes Islam Amry, Ajnad al-Sham, al-Rahman Legion and al-habib al-Mustafa said its better for Nusra to join us that merging in new group.
Army of Fatah, a reference to the conquests that spread Islam across the Middle East from the seventh century, has seized swathes of territory northern Syrian since late of March 2015 including Idlib city, Jisr al-Shughour and Ariha towns.
In relevant development, Nusra Front with three rebel groups active in eastern Qalamoun have formed their own version of Fatah Army on Thursday as fighting with ISIS enters new stage after Palmyra takeover where the hardline group is pressing hard to seize control of Syria desert and Qalamoun region, activists said on Thursday.
Ahrar al-Sham, Ahmed al-Abdo Gathering and Islam Army refused to join the new alliance while Jaysh Tahrir al-Sham, Rejal al-Malahem, Mujahedi al-Baddiya joined the Nusra Front.
Syria's conflict, now in its fifth year, has killed more than 220,000 people and caused millions to flee.
