Supporters not within scope
editWhy are supporters listed in an article specifically about "armed groups", in other words belligerents?
Egypt under Morsi supported Rebels but they are labeled as Syrian govt supporter
editEgypt under Morsi supported Rebels but they are labeled as Syrian govt supporter, it should be yellow like Iraq or Palestine. 202.47.36.141 (talk) 01:52, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
Changing the article name
editHi all,
I have been thinking of changing the article's name because I think belligerents is an unnecessarily complicated word. I have been thinking about some replacements and would love some input. I think either "armed factions in the Syrian civil war" or "armed actors in the Syrian civil war" would be better. Wisenose (talk) 10:37, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
Reclassification of HTS.
editIn my opinion (supported by the evidence below), Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), despite its lineage/historic affiliation with Al-Qaeda/Al-Nusra, should be moved from the 'Al-Qaeda and affiliates' section, perhaps to the 'Syrian opposition and allies' section.
The following article published on 8 Dec 2024 gives an interesting insight into the HTS leader and the future of Syria: https://www.newarab.com/news/syria-pm-says-ready-work-new-leadership-chosen-people
It advises that the leader of the HTS ordered forces not to approach official institutions in Damascus, saying they would remain under the prime minister until they were "officially" handed over. He said they're willing to cooperate with any leadership chosen by the Syrian people, and that they're "ready for any handover procedures".
Similarly this article from the Washington Post is on the whole quite positive: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/12/06/aleppo-christians-syria-rebel-offensive-assad/
It states: 'HTS broke ties with the global jihadist movement in 2016 and has tried in the years since to convince Syrians that it has renounced its radical, repressive roots... Its leader has attempted to reassure minorities, making public appearances with Christian and Druze leaders, but in areas it controls the group has also confiscated land and restricted religious practices among non-Muslims... [In Aleppo], the group has encouraged civil servants to continue their work and has offered amnesty to government soldiers... So far, the rebels have upheld their promises to respect people of all faiths, the Christian resident said. “They are not harassing anyone; they’re helping people out.”... Boutros Kassis, archbishop of the Syriac Orthodox Church in Aleppo... [said] that rebels have allowed residents to set up Christmas trees and celebrate the feast of Saint Barbara, a local holiday... Pastor Zani Bakr, a Kurdish Christian, said one of his parishioners was told by rebels to put on a hijab. “She told them she was Christian, and they politely told her to wear one the next time she goes out,” he said... the economic situation in the city was already dire before HTS moved in, and is quickly getting worse...HTS is filling in the gaps where it can, residents said, distributing bread to those who need it...'
