Assad supporters plea to oust military commander of Aleppo after string of defeats

 
Pro- Assad's Social media pages have circulated a message addressed to Bashar al-Assad to oust the Commander of military special operations in Aleppo, Brigadier Mohammed, after series of heavy defeats amount to 23 in the city and its countryside.

The Assad supporters urged an immediate act to put an end to the defeats. '' We need a man with brave heart not like Khaddour.''

 Two months ago, a Leaked YouTube video by activists shows Khaddour next to Mohamed Wahid Akkad, and Governor of Aleppo in meeting with 'Shabiha' pro-Assad's militia in the Shi'ite villages of Nobbol and Zahra.

Khaddour promised the militants to solve all their problems and to provide monthly salaries beside a lot of merits. ''Everything will be solved, just we have to win, and after that I will make of your villages the capital of the countryside''.

During the meeting, militants were chanting louder and louder, using the same slogans of Hezbollah, Shi'ite militia backed by Iran.

Khaddour said I have with me 250 to 300 soldiers. '' I need your support, I need you to be organized in groups, 50 people for each, I need you to save your ammunition.''

Meanwhile, the office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said in a statement Friday the number of civilians trapped in the heavy fighting in and around Homs is believed to be between 2,500 and 4,000. Shortages of food, water, medicine, electricity and fuel in besieged areas are severely affecting civilians, including women and children.

 Recent reports suggest that armed opposition groups are operating inside residential areas, increasing the risk for civilians, the statement said.

 The appeal by the Syrian National Coalition came as opposition leaders are meeting in Istanbul to elected new leaders, including an interim government that will try and govern territories under opposition control in Syria.

 More than 93,000 people have been killed in the conflict that began as peaceful protests but turned into an armed revolt after opposition supporters took up arms to fight a brutal government crackdown.
