Syrian Rebel Group On Ending The Siege In Aleppo

The most powerful rebel group in Syria has explained in its first interview with British television how it masterminded the ending of the siege of Aleppo.

The Jabhat Fatah al Sham (JFS) leadership has told Sky News its decision to join forces with the other opposition groups in Syria is a ‘game-changer’.

Sky News’ Alex Crawford spoke to Mostafa Mahamed, Director of Foreign Media Relations for JFS.
