- The city of al-Bab, which is under the control of the Turkey-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) in the northeastern Aleppo countryside, witnessed Sept. 23 popular protests demanding that the FSA factions hand them back their property, including their houses, farms and shops, which the factions had seized years ago, when the FSA and the Turkish army took control of the city after expelling the Islamic State (IS) in 2017 as part of Operation Euphrates Shield.
