"So, I’m right now in Aleppo, a war is going that’s obvious but till now it made me convince that war is an illusion.
Since a year and half the armed groups had entered the city of Aleppo they liberated a part of the city let’s say like 60% of the city after a month from their entrance, will the thing is they haven’t make a move forward since then, the city now is divided into two, one still with the hands of the regime and the other one is "liberated".
So a year and half you would surely ask why...
First of all the FSA started build martial sites or let’s say take over civil buildings and occupy it then fortify it, stealing the houses that are near the front-lines and occupy factories after disarming it from its own machines.
At the beginning of the war here in Aleppo the regime began shelling everything that’s under the control of the rebels day and night heavily with bombardments, planes and howitzer, snipe everyone in this areas because everyone here is condemned, at that time you can cross from an area another from any regular road that hasn’t been closed for snipes.
This situation stayed like 3 months then the shelling did continued the same but the civic life did dramatically changed, "no bread, no electricity and no water" situation carried with the beginning of the winter and surely diseases that increased the suffering, roads were closed so if you wanna go from an area that’s liberated one’s with the regime you have cross from 2 certain places : one has now been closed after liberating an area nearby and the other one is the one that’s opened till now the people like call it the "crossing point of death" because it’s a path sniped by three snipers from the Assad’s army they don’t shot at it like always but everyday we have a 2 3 occasions that may kill and in a parallel universe just wound civilians.
The shelling began became regular the morning is ok "no planes", although tank and howitzer shelling may occur and in the night it’s the time for planes.
Returning the first point the abandonment of the rebels, they have been lured into the trap of media and they liked being focused on that also helped.
The crossing point is now the most important thing because the regime’s areas are besieged by the regime itself so now the citizens of these areas come the liberated areas for supplies daily so imagine. That’s the situation hopefully it may change soon"

Now, I think many of you already know that the shelling isn’t going stop till the end of the war so I’m not here talk about the continuous shelling.
I’m living in the liberated areas because I do have a martial court and I can’t be caught because this will mean my inevitable death. So right now here, Al-Qaida or let’s say particularly (ISIS : Islamic state of Iraq and Levant), have decided get rid of FSA (the free Syrian army) so they are not fighting with the regime like at all. They are fighting against the free Syrian army and have won a battle in Azzaz city in the countryside of Alep, which is located on the borderline with Turkey and do have a crossing border point, so they have captured it and closed the border point while in Alep the front lines between the FSA and SAA are cold so maybe just convince their selves that they are still fighting a snipe or two between them and an ak-47 group of bullets.
But the fiercest fights are running inside the liberated areas between : (the martyrs of Badr brigade vs PKK, A’asefet Alshamal brigade vs ISIS, PKK vs ISIS) and of course they do use heavy weapons like mortars and tanks.

Alqaida ISIS is now trying take over Aleppo and defined the fsa as their main enemy they actually helped regime forces in some areas in Syria. They have broke the siege of an army brigade. And now they controlled three neighborhoods.
Electricity have been cut out in Aleppo for three days in a row with no provided excuses neither from the regime nor the opposition and of course that was not the only thing that have been cut out as in Aleppo and for the last 3 weeks line and umts internet had been cut.
Regime forces and with a big force consists of large number of soldiers and 50 tanks with aircraft cover have broken the siege of defense factories which is been located in Al’sfira in the countryside of Aleppo of course every village on the way is now no village at all they even shelled a refugee camp that was on their way.
