Raqqa governor sparks controversy in Syria over remarks about the commander of the 'Al-Baqir Brigade' (watch)

Raqqa, Syria ·

Residents of Andan in the northern Aleppo countryside, the governor's home town, and members of the Al-Salama family issued a circulated statement attributed to them disowning him. They protested his remarks about Al-Marei, whose name has been linked to a militia loyal to the Assad government and Iran.

Syria's civil war, which began in 2011, left its northern and eastern provinces divided among armed groups, foreign-backed forces and state institutions.
