      I spoke to sources in the factions made up of eastern Syria fighters. They insist the factions did not send any fighters in an organized manner (unlike Mutasim Division, Hamza Division & Sultan Murad, whom they call "mercenaries"), but added that some may have gone individually.

      The fascinating thing is that once this video spread in WhatsApp groups of fighters in the eastern Syria factions, many got excited & asked how they can sign up to go. The rumored promise of high salaries & citizenships is incredibly tempting to displaced, impoverished fighters

      A source in the Sultan Murad Brigade says that the monthly salary is "maybe $2000" per month. This is 40 times more than what these fighters earn in Syria, although they supplement the income by looting & extortion. See more herehttp://bit.ly/2DnZpCi

      again, I am reporting what is being told to fighters about salaries in Libya. I don't speak to the Turks about how much they'll pay them. You are welcomed to publish your findings.

      Mmm when did he say National army, come on please stop mixing things up... we all agree that Syrian fighters r in Idlib (from the Regime and also Opposition) but the national army didn’t send anyone, they are under individual contracts, yesterday it was 1500 today it’s 2000
