Local sources in Idlib province
assured that some armed groups, which claimed operating under Free Syrian Army,
had imposed royalties on people, who cross their checkpoints which surround
their rural villages of Salkeen and Harem.
The bad security conditions pushed
many merchants and truck drivers to halt delivering food and other staples over
fear of banditry and extortion by the thugs, source said.
Activists and Zaman Alwasl called for the Islamic Front and other rebel
groups in Idlib to put an end for such actions which compromise the revolution.
Syria's armed uprising began as a
series of peaceful democracy protests 34 months ago but escalated into a
full-blown civil war after Assad's regime launched a brutal crackdown on
dissent.
The conflict is estimated to have killed around
126,000 people and displaced millions more.
