(Zaman Al Wasl)- A recent map shows the spheres of influence on roads in Syria between the conflicting parties where the regime has control over the biggest part of main roads and on average exceeding 50% whereas rebels control 13%.
The map published by Jusoor Studies Center divided the conflicting parties into four naming them the following: Assad forces, ISIS, Kurdish factions, rebel factions giving each party one color to make it easy to show the roads under its influence and control.
The map tried to document all main and sub-roads in Syria. Influence over these roads is key to get supplies for the party controlling the road.
The data included with the map revealed the regime controls 4500 Km of main roads with 51.5% followed by ISIS controlling 2075 Km, 23.7% whereas rebel factions is ranked third controlling 1139 Km, 13% and last is the Kurdish militias controlling 1027 of main roads with 11.7%.
The regime is ranked first as well in sub-roads controlling around 11500 Km, 47.8% whereas rebel factions control 4888 Km 20% and this percentage is similar to ISIS control over sub-roads in Syria. Kurdish militias controls nearly 3000 Km of sub-roads.
According to Jusoor data, the total length of main roads in Syria equals 8747 Km and more than 24000 Km of sub-roads.
