Our friend Michael Weiss, who blogs for The Telegraph, recently crossed into Syria and accompanied the Free Syrian Army on a tour of liberated Aleppo.
That he was able to get in and out of the country suggests a serious loss of control by the Assad regime.
You can read his tweets here and watch some of his videos here— including this one of a drive through an FSA-controlled part of Aleppo at 6 a.m. on Friday. Note the long line for bread even at that hour.
Syrian army forces are now fighting to regain control of the city.
I’m sure Michael will be writing more about his visit in the coming days.
Update: Michael Weiss discusses his visit to Aleppo and al-Bab, and the defection of the Syrian prime minister, in an interview with Al Jazeera English:
