Critical point about this open violation of the CoH as Russia will argue the opposition broke the CoH.......
The truce just ended after the regime forces launched an offensive in south #aleppo countered by all factions
Right so those reports were right that it was regime that attacked first and not Nusra??
Happening now: #Jaish_el_fateh advancing on Al Eiss along Khan Touman front in Southern #Aleppo.
Was not this a group that observed ceasefire??
Correct. Regime first. But not just #Nusra but ALL opposition factions are fighting back along a 40 km front.
Appears the Syrian opposition ALL opposition groups including JaN fully anticipated an Assad complete violation of CoH and quietly marshalled their forces and with tactical patience just waited as Assad and the Russians together with all Iranian forces were largely "over extended".....and also just as tired of fighting after a five month long exhausting and high loss fighting period.
AND someone is flowing in a full scale fashion weapons and munitions into Syria especially a large number of US weapons and supplies.....
South Aleppo offensive is not fixed only on Tal Eis. This is a wide offensive attack. Zaytan, Barnah, Khan Tuman all under attack.
A not so subtle warning to both Obama and especially Putin that his war is far from being over....Assad needs to think about that "3rd party country" rumor that is floating around....
Take away the Russian AF and the opposition is fully capable with support to eliminating both Assad and IS......
Russian Syrian Express is moving again......
FLOT's BSF Ropucha Class Large Landing Craft Tsezar Kunikov 158 is on the Bosphorus northbound, returning from Syria
Needless to say, it looks quite empty for shuttling a "withdrawal". I'd say they don't even bring souvenirs back.
Kunikov is being accompanied by the now routine securitybox escort of 2 CG's and a Police boat.

Syria Regime media blaming Opposition groups for participating with Nusra Front and breaking the truce after the South #Aleppo offensive.
Regime media forgot to blame their Regime for participating with #Hezbollah and breaking truce agreement after E-Ghouta offensive.
Regime media forgot to blame their Regime for breaking truce agreement by daily barrel bombs on Opposition-held cities and villages.
Regime media forgot to blame their Regime for giving Iran-#IRGC & Afghan militias & Iraqi groups the right to control South Aleppo.
Appears regime media forgot about those over 900 CoH violations against the 20 from the opposition.....

The Obama White House Just Censored A Foreign Leader Who Mentioned ‘Islamist Terrorism’
April 1, 2016 By Sean Davis
President Barack Obama and French President Francois Hollande met in Washington on Thursday to discuss ways for the two countries to work together to defeat terrorism. But the White House apparently had zero appetite for Hollande’s mention of Islamist terrorism, since it censored the phrase from the official White House video of the meeting posted on the White House website.
Media Research Center, a non-profit media watchdog, was the first to report the White House censorship.
While the official transcript available on the White House web page includes Hollande’s use of the phrase “Islamist terrorism,” the White House video of the remarks muted the audio during that portion of Hollande’s remarks. The audio of the French-to-English interpreter stops right before Hollande characterizes “Islamist terrorism” as the root of terrorism in Syria and Iraq.
“But we’re also well aware that the roots of terrorism, Islamist terrorism, is in Syria and in Iraq,” Hollande told Obama, according to the transcript of the exchange provided by the White House. “We therefore have to act both in Syria and in Iraq, and this is what we’re doing within the framework of the coalition.”
Watch and listen to the video below, which is available on YouTube through the White House’s official account, and you can hear the audio cut out right before Hollande says “Islamist terrorism”:
Here is the transcript of what Hollande said, with strikethrough notation to show what the White House censored in its video of the exchange between the two presidents:
Europe has been hit more, given that it is also the target of the terrorists and ISIS. We’ve seen it in Paris last year, as well as in Brussels. And together with President Obama, we worked on coordinating further our commitments, our organizations, our services when it comes to fighting against these terrorists. We are also making sure that between Europe and the United States there can be a very high level coordination.
But we’re also well aware that the roots of terrorism, Islamist terrorism, is in Syria and in Iraq. We therefore have to act both in Syria and in Iraq, and this is what we’re doing within the framework of the coalition. And we note that Daesh is losing ground thanks to the strikes we’ve been able to launch with the coalition. We are continuing to support Iraq. This is also a decision we have taken, supporting the Iraqi government and making sure that they can claim back their entire territory, including Mosul.
In the video, the entire audio of the feed is muted right before Hollande says “Islamist terrorism.” After he says the phrase, the audio returns, but without an English translation. The interpreter’s voice is not restored in the video until 12 seconds later.
Hollande’s use of the phrase “Islamist terrorism” is also censored in the White House’s official MP3 recording of the event.
You can read the full transcript of the event here or watch the full video here.

No reports of Russian air support for Assad and allied militias today in south Aleppo and rural Latakia. Any idea why?
There's a report on a popular Telegram channel that there were Russian strikes on al-Eis 30 minutes ago
