Demanding open frontlines | People in Al-Bab in eastern Aleppo countryside go out in protests

Aleppo province: Residents in Al-Bab city in eastern Aleppo countryside in areas controlled by Turkish forces and their proxies within “Euphrates Shield” area continue to organize demonstrations against the rapprochement between the Syrian and Turkish regimes under Russian sponsorship.
In this context, dozens of people in Al-Bab city went out in a march, expressing their rejection of the opening the crossings that connect areas controlled by regime forces and areas controlled by pro-Turkey factions, confirming the need to open frontlines and the overthrow of the Syrian regime.
The protesters lifted placards with slogans written on them that read: “no to opening crossings, no to normalization, no to humiliation, no to reconciliation, no to compromise, no to the continued presence of criminals,” “there is no Syrian civilian without a grievance against this regime,” “shame on those who reconcile,” “all gains are not worth the tear of a martyr’s mother or the suffering of a detainee’s wife,” “down with the unpatriotic coalition and down with the treacherous government.”
On September 6, SOHR sources reported that “Al-Karamah sit-in protest” continued in Al-Bab city in eastern Aleppo countryside, where protestors expressed their rejection of the opening of Abu Al-Zindeen crossing which connects regime-held areas with areas controlled by pro-Turkey factions.
The protesters called for the abolition of the “Syrian Opposition Coalition,” the “Interim Government,” and the “Negotiation Committee” and for the formation of an elected committee to lead the Syrian Revolution. The protesters held banners in front of the protest tent near Abu Al-Zindeen crossing with slogans written on them that read: “ Abdurrahman Mustafa, you are without honour, without morals, without dignity,” “Mustafa’s government is the enemy overthrowing it is a revolutionary duty for every rebel,” “we demand that the guarantor lift the guardianship from our liberated areas; it is no longer a guarantor but an ally of our enemy.”

The protesters also demanded the overthrow of “Abdurrahman Mustafa” the head of the “Interim Government.”
This coincided with a state of high tension between members of military police and the protesters and exchange of gunshots, where military police attempted to intimidate the protesters to remove the sit-in tent, amid a state of anger among the participants.
