2018-12-26
[ALMASDARNEWS] Members of several Syrian opposition armed units are ready to lay down their arms and surrender to the Syrian army once US troops and their allies leave the al-Tanf base in southeastern Syria, the Surya al-An news portal news hounds on Tuesday.

According to the news portal, a large number of Lions of Islam stationed in a 55-wide area around al-Tanf have expressed readiness to surrender and make reconciliation agreements with the Syrian authorities.

At the same time, field commanders from the Mahavir as-Saura brigade,
...one of the affiliates of the Free Syrian Army...
trained by US and British instructors, have demanded a safe passage to take their forces to northern Syria. The brigade comprises about 6,000 bad boys.

The US-led coalition created the al-Tanf base at the junction of the borders of Syria, Iraq and Jordan in order to fight against the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
terror group (outlawed in Russia).

Troops deployed to the base control a strategically important highway connecting Damascus and Baghdad.
