The city centre of southern Daraa province, on Syria’s border with Jordan, has fallen under the control of opposition groups fighting the forces of Bashar al Assad regime, according to Anadolu Agency. Armed opposition groups advanced by seizing numerous settlements and military points in the rural areas and after violent clashes they also seized the city centre from regime forces, AA said early on Saturday. The liberation of Daraa’s city centre marks a significant shift in the ongoing conflict, as Assad regime struggle to maintain control over key territories in the country.
