I could go on and seek for other posts from Daraa, but lazily I now assume it has tipped the balance in favor of FSA groups; or perhaps it set the FSA groups on equal footing with regime in area? Thus not really changing the balance.Ciantichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708844807487564418noreply@blogger.com
