Babulin Checkpoint Agreement between Hayat Tahrir Al Sham and the Ahrar al-Sham, Idlib Countryside

27 November 2018

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

All praises be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, and peace and blessings be upon our Prophet, Muhammad, and his family and companions.

Based on the meeting between the two sides, Hayat Tahrir Al Sham and the Syrian Liberation Front (Ahrar Al Sham), on 25/11/2018, a meeting was held today on Monday, 26/11/2018, to decide on the issue of the Babulin Checkpoint.

The two sides have agreed to task a committee made up of the people of the area to listen to the testimonies of both sides and the testimonies of witnesses.

The committee has decided the following:

First:

It has been proven that the control of the checkpoint belongs to the Syrian Liberation Front (Ahrar Al Sham).

Second:

As a result of the violations that are taking place around the checkpoint [ILLEGIBLE] that harm the security in the area, the responsibility of these violations is on the checkpoint itself because these individuals are from the same group that controls the checkpoint.

Third:

The committee has decided to remove this checkpoint in coordination with the command of the group during a period of 60 days (two months).

Fourth:

No group has the right to establish any checkpoint on the Main Haish Fork, no matter who they are.

This is what we have been able to reach, with the guidance of Allah.

May Allah guide us, and any mistake is only from us.

Allah knows all, and we do not, and Allah is most gracious and most merciful.
