In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Allah says:

“But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission.”

In adherence to Allah’s orders, we, the Free Syrian Army in the northern Hama countryside from the southern Idlib countryside and Jabhat Al Nusra announce the following:

Both sides shall submit to Allah’s laws, to be implemented by an independent Shariah committee that is agreed upon by both sides

All detainees from both sides shall be immediately released

Removing all of the accidents relating to the incident by both sides

Ending the state of preparedness and both sides sending more fighters to the frontlines

Allah is the arbiter of success
