| Syrian Regime Hits Turning Point in War Against Rebels |
| 2016-02-09 |
| [TIME] The Syrian civil war reached a turning point last week when forces loyal to the regime of president Bashir al-Assad cut a key supply line into rebel-held city of Aleppo, imperiling one of the key strongholds of the nearly five-year-old rebellion. Further advances by the regime and allied militias could place Aleppo under siege, striking a potentially crushing blow for the insurrection that began a series of unarmed protests against Assad's authoritarian regime in February 2011 and later metastasized into a civil conflict that left more than a quarter million Syrians dead. The Russian air force, which has supported the regime's offensive against the rebels since October 2015, has intensified ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... from Aleppo. Aleppo was once Syria's largest city and its commercial capital and is now a key redoubt of the mainstream and Salafist tough guys opposed to the regime, the fall of the city could irreversibly alter the dynamics of the war. The rebels' loss of Aleppo would also empower murderous Moslem groups including ISIS, transforming the conflict into a largely binary conflict between the regime and the jihadists. |
