2018-03-18
[ALMASDARNEWS] Authorities from different Islamist Death Eater groups have reportedly reached a ceasefire in northwest Syria after a weeks-long inter-rebel civil war that has left hundreds of fighters from all sides killed.

Opposition and rebel sources claim that al-Qaeda affiliate militia Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham
(better know by its former name, Jabhat al-Nusra
...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ...
) and rival groups Jabhat Tahrir Souriya and Suqour al-Sham have agreed to a two-day ceasefire effective immediately.

The temporary halt order is being made in preparation for talks to organize a greater ceasefire arrangement that will decisively end the Islamist infighting all together throughout rebel-controlled areas of Idlib and Aleppo provinces.

Reports state that the main terms for the greater ceasefire is for all warring holy warriors factions to release their current prisoners and stop any further actions towards arresting new rival fighters.
