In a dramatic turn of events, a Syrian opposition armed group, the Levant Front, has cut ties with the Turkish-backed ‘Syrian Interim Government’ following a heated meeting with Prime Minister Abdul Rahman Mustafa. The Levant Front, a key faction controlling areas near the Turkish border, demanded the government’s dissolution and accused Mustafa of slander and seeking personal gain.
The meeting, orchestrated by Turkish intelligence in Gaziantep, ended in bitter disputes. Mustafa allegedly insulted revolutionary factions and labeled them as terrorists. The disagreement stemmed from Mustafa’s accusations against Ahrar Al-Sharqiya, a major faction within the Levant Front.
Moreover, the Levant Front opposed the opening of the Abu Zandain crossing, fearing it may normalize relations between Turkey and the Syrian regime, which Turkey distanced itself from in 2011. Turkey has assisted Syrian opposition groups but is now seeking to reconcile with the Assad regime as it gains control in the conflict, urging opposition factions to cooperate.
