In 2016, Malise Ruthven cited Marc Lynch's book The New Arab Wars: uprising and Anarchy in the Middle East, describing the Syrian opposition as "hopelessly fragmented" due to "tribalism" and reliance on various foreign donors. . Lynch described the Free Syrian Army as little different than "a combination of local defense forces, ideologies and self-interested warlords." "The command and control it can actually exercise is extremely limited and insignificant. Ability to formulate and execute a coherent military strategy.

❗️#Syria: Brutal Turkish Aggression on Syrian Territory Amid Arab Silence
In the early hours of today, #Turkish Bayraktar armed drones violated the sovereign airspace of the Syrian Republic and carried out heavy strikes on three populated Syrian towns and villages that are not border areas and it's is located west of the #Euphrates . These attacks exposed Syrian civilians to serious danger and constitute a blatant assault on Syria's sovereignty and on the dignity and safety of #Syrian citizens.
These violations, contrary to international law and Syrian law, took place amid complete silence from the al-Jolani terrorist regime. Observers describe this silence as indicating complicity between the Jolani authority and Turkey's ruling AKP Party, which occupies parts of Syrian territory. The attacks were also met with Arab silence, a lack of condemnation, and widespread Arab media blackout.
The Syrian Democratic Forces (#SDF) stated in official statements that the aggression included:
Two separate drone strikes on the town of Maskanah, and Another strike on the village of Al‑Bu‘asi, in the countryside of Al‑Tabqa, Raqqa Governorate.
These attacks represent a dangerous escalation and a clear act of external military aggression against civilians inside Syrian territory.
