Since defecting from the Syrian Army early in 2012, former colonel Abu Muhammed has been trying to organise rebel forces. His new comrades aren’t used to taking orders. It’s Abu Mohammed’s responsibility to distribute ammunition and the rebels fighting the Syrian Army on the frontline are running short.
Salahuddin district in Aleppo has seen the bloodiest fighting since the civil war began. The rebels use anything available to build barriers in a war where the frontline is constantly changing. Government soldiers have taken an important building in a nearby residential area.
