In new statement by the former Revolutionary Military Council in Aleppo," Colonel Abdel
Jabbar al-Akaidi, obtained by Zaman Alwasl, said he will not give up fighting as
he will be among rebels everywhere until the victory of Syrian people
revolution.
Aqaidi who joined the Free Syrian Army after
defecting from the Syrian army in early 2012, appeared in footage surfaced
on the Internet addressing the Syrian opposition by saying ''stay in your
hotels.''
The disappointed colonel has accused
both the western-backed opposition and the International community by trading
in the Syrians fate as well contributing in their bloodshed.
Rebels' concerns, within al-Aqidi,
have dramatically mounted amid fears of imminent siege for their areas in
Aleppo after the fall of Safeira and Azyziyah strategic towns by the Assad
army, according to Zaman Alwasl sources.
The towns lie on a road the army
said would be used to send in medicine and supplies to government-controlled
areas of Aleppo, mired in a bloody stalemate for over a year. It is also the
site of a chemical weapons installation under government control and cleared of
equipment.
Rebel groups have become
increasingly fractured, with Islamic extremists, including those linked to
al-Qaida, analyst Ahmed Khlaif, based in Qameshli said to Zaman Alwasl, ''The
rebel war-within pushed the armed opposition to lose Sfeira and perhaps more
areas, as they lost before Khanaser town, Sfeira neighbor, with its strategic
road for supplies and ammunition.''
The conflict in Syria, now more than 2-1/2-years old, has long been in stalemate but Assad's forces have been making slow advances in the center of the country and near the capital since they captured a strategic border town near Lebanon with the help of the Lebanese Shi'ite militant group Hezbollah.
