    Maarat al-Numan, a center of civil resistance against extremism, burns tonight after Assad regime incendiary airstrikes

    Like everyday, at least 35 civilians were killed yesterday in Russia/Assad airstrikes across Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, Damascus, Homs & Deir Ezzor

    Potatoes and tomatoes.. Thank you Idlib as we're together, We don't need the @UN food or boxes
    Keep it for #Assad

    As the hapless UN food relief distribution network sends supplies to Assad regime instead of those 780,000 he besieges

    YES, it probably was an #Assad regime helicopter.
    And YES: #Russia controls all flight missions by the Syrian air force now.
    Rebels now are answering within minutes the use of CWs by Assad.......
    WHILE the West remains silent......they shelled Assad held areas immediately after the first use of chlorine CWs this week ....

    Extremely graphic #footage
    #Russian state TV reports 12 dead in rebel shelling of W #Aleppo.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wf6IwvqLOk

    Shelling must have happened around the same time, #Assad attacked the east of the city with gas.
    Nothing about it on SANA so far ...

    Chlorine gas injuries are now climbing from initial reports.....in German....70 injured, 10 were children and 25 were babies
    70 Verletzte, darunter 10 Kinder und 25 Kleinkinder in GAS-Angriff der kombinierten #Putin/#Assad-Luftwaffe.

    This is the Russia that somehow the Obama/Rhodes/Kerry WH seems to think they can work with in Syria....the very same Russia that has massively escalated the fighting in eastern Ukraine.....and all the Obama WH does it talk...as if talking will take them to November 2016...without having to take any form of military action either in eastern Ukraine and or Syria...it is now all about the image of their legacy....

    Graphic!
    5 hrs after #Russia's announcement of more "ceasefires" for #Aleppo, it orders GAS.

    Rama, 6 years old, 1 of the chlorine attack victims. Came 2 the hospital screaming "I cant breathe"

    Rebels repelled an important assault launched by pro-Regime forces on Ramoussah in early morning and seized back all lost buildings. #Aleppo

    Opposition sources: Most of the recent killed pro-Regime fighters in South #Aleppo and Artillery College were Lebanese & Afghans.

    Key FSA Fatah Halab factions claim intent to commit to IHL & to cooperate with UN for access & aid work in #Aleppo:

    Mulham Al amid, Fastaqem Union, FSA @BBCNews rejects UN ceasefire, as a "chance for the regime to catch its breath"

    Inherent problem w. local/temporary ceasefires: combatants do *not* see them as tactically or strategically viable

    Common perception in #Syria: While the West dithers, "the extremists...can...get things done".
    http://thebea.st/2b8tcEs

    Kyle W. Orton ‏@KyleWOrton So much in #Syria and well beyond depends on the West being a better partner to the population than al-Qaeda.

    We're failing, obviously.

    FDD's Iran Project
    ‏@FDD_Iran
    Recent video suggests Qassem Soleimani may have suffered a hand injury. It's bandaged & he seems unable to close it.

    BUT WAIT...he was recently inside Syria before the Aleppo fighting and again just recently in Iraq outside Mosul......so where did he get injured??

    REMEMBER this famous Putin public quote....

    March 14 2016: "... Putin says the "main part" of Russia's armed forces in Syria are to leave."

    These aircraft that are now bombing Syria were withdrawn from Syria 150 days ago today

    Appears the Russian words for "main part" really means "no part".....

    REMEMBER this famous Obama public quote from 2014.....right after Crimea and the Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine.....

    "We will judge Putin by his actions not his words"......

    AND now????

    This is the first indication that evidently the purposed joint venture with the Russians as proposed by Kerry and company is not going anywhere fast and verified from the Russian side.

    Russian Mission UN
    ✔ @RussiaUN #Ryabkov on the cooperation between US-led coalition with the Syrian opposition forces @Interaffairs

    He basically states openly..."give us the information on all the anti Assad forces, who leads them and where are they located SO we can talk to them....AND THEN we can work closer together"....if my Russian is correct......

    APPEARS Russia is setting preconditions on Kerry before they even state talking about the so called joint venture Kerry is pushing....

    The old style Russian FP tactic of "two stepping"....IF ...THEN....and nothing happens....

    Remarks to the press by Ambassador V.Churkin following the #UNSC consultations on #Syria —
    http://russiaun.ru/en/news/cm_srcn

    Churkin: We want to make sure that humanitarian assistance can go into #Aleppo at all times including through #CastelloRoad

    BTW..notice no mentioning of the Russian proposed so called three humanitarian corridors....Castello Road was never proposed.

    Churkin: It’s up to the Syrians ultimately to settle the conflict themselves

    Churkin: We absolutely support the inclusion of the Syrian #Kurds in the talks

    Churkin: Turkey needs to understand that including #Kurds in the discussion should be important in terms of territorial integrity of #Syria

    BTW....Turkey will never drop that demand and notice Erdogan and Putin while making sweeping comments on Syria basically said nothing and thus nothing was achieved as the Russians wanted Erdogan to stop funding and weapons flows.....

    Churkin: I do hope the situation around #Aleppo will improve but we dont believe there needs to be any preconditions

    Remember the Russian statements yesterday about those so called four hour ceasefires for humanitarian aid to flow......WELL forget about the Russian ever holding to them.....just as they do not hold to a single point in Minsk 2..

    Fighting continues in #Aleppo more than an hour into Russia’s 3-hour ceasefire: Reuters -
