While parts of Idlib appeared to rally behind the truce, not all were
convinced that it would hold. “Although we agree with the points
mentioned in the agreement between Erdoğan and Putin, have they ever got
a result before?” asked Abu Wissam, 32. “Civilians on the ground are
still living in fear and worry. We’re all hesitant and we’re all
doubtful. And we have nothing to say any more. Our voices went hoarse
with demands and no one listened.”
Another Idlib local, Ahmed Hallaq, 34, said: "We had bigger dreams and
goals than this agreement. All of Syria should have been safe from the
Assad regime and his militias, not just a buffer zone. Lots of my
friends around here think the same. We don’t trust the regime, we have
zero trust in its morals and promises. They violated most, if not
everything else that’s been agreed on.”
