Field sources told Orient Net that at least eight opposition military factions have met and announced their merger after a previous planned merger, which was supposed to include Jabhat Fatth al-Sham, has failed.
The factions included in the new council are Ahrar al-Sham Movement, Jaysh al-Islam, Ajnad al-Sham, Suqour al-Sham, Fastaqim, al-Sham Legion, al-Rahman Corps, and Jabhat Ahl al-Sham, according to the sources.
The said opposition factions agreed on forming a military body consisting of military commanders from each faction, and a political body consisting of officers from political offices in the factions. Commanders of the factions will be considered the commanders of the newly-formed council. The council will adopt its decisions by consensus, the sources added.
Recently, Syrians in many opposition-held areas have been organizing demonstrations urging opposition fighting factions to unite and form a unified body to fight Assad regime and allies.
