SIG, "Opposition Faction" and other edits edit
Some editors have recently been reverting some edits I made to make the infobox and opening more detailed.
It is an opposition faction (This isn't disputed and all sources agree.) (see MIM: https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20210916-5-syria-opposition-groups-unite-as-syrian-liberation-front/)
It is loyal to the Syrian Intern Government according to al-Monitor "He added that the Syrian Liberation Front aims “to support and empower each of the interim government’s Ministry of Defense, the Military Police, the Military Judiciary and the Civil Police. It is everyone’s duty and an opportunity for the Syrian Liberation Front to improve the situation in the liberated areas.”"
It is a Free Syrian Army group also according to al-Monitor "During a ceremony marking the merger, Abbas said, “The Sultan Suleiman Shah Division, Hamza Division, al-Mutasim Brigade, Suqour al-Shamal Brigades, and the 20th Division are no longer separate factions, but have completely merged to form a single, effective leadership under the FSA’s umbrella.” "On Sept. 9, five factions affiliated with the Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army announced that they had merged into the new “Syrian Liberation Front.""
According to a SPOX, The Syrian Liberation Front's factions are concerned about attacks by other factions affiliated with the Azm Operations Room, which was formed [by FSA factions] in mid-July.
If Azm is attacking them in makes sense to list them as opponents.
As such I think sources support the inclusion of these edits in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheAmericanWarlord (talk • contribs) 16:40, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
FSA edit
According to this al-Monotor article,
"During a ceremony marking the merger, Abbas said, “The Sultan Suleiman Shah Division, Hamza Division, al-Mutasim Brigade, Suqour al-Shamal Brigades, and the 20th Division are no longer separate factions, but have completely merged to form a single, effective leadership under the FSA’s umbrella.”
So they do indeed consider themselves a FSA group
