Deployment of armed opposition groups on the M4 highway
[NPASYRIA] The Ottoman Turkish-backed armed opposition groups have been deployed since Wednesday, until today on the M4 highway in the southern countryside of Idlib governorate, north-west of Syria.

A field source in Idlib told North-Press, that the armed opposition groups located in the villages near the M4 highway in the southern and western countryside of Idlib have been redeployed since yesterday on the highway, rejecting the withdrawal agreement.

The source added that the gangs are deploying from time to time on the M4 highway, sending a message to the Ottoman Turkish and Russian forces that they will not withdraw from these areas.

The areas of control of the armed opposition groups in Idlib countryside have been under tension since Wednesday, after the Ottoman Turkish statements about the withdrawal of the opposition groups from areas south of the M4 highway for the conduct of joint Russian-Ottoman Turkish military patrols.

The source said that the armed opposition groups and the residents of Arihah and Jisr al-Shughour in the southern and western countryside of Idlib are preparing to protest on the M4 highway, in order to prevent the passing of the joint Russian-Ottoman Turkish patrols.

The commander in the National Front for Liberation, Jaber Basha posted on his Twitter account: "We will remain attached to our lands, neither surrender nor give up on any inch of our liberated areas."

The Ottoman Turkish President Erdogan and the Russian President Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...
announced a ceasefire agreement that included the construction of a safe corridor at a depth of 6 km in the north of M4 highway and 6 km to the south, with details to be determined within seven days, as the ceasefire agreement has taken effect since March 6.
