It is important to consider possible development scenarios in the light of both Idlib’s distinctive features and of those characteristics it has in common with other territories not controlled by the Syrian authorities, in the light of the balance of power within the Idlib “pocket”, in the light of the interests Turkey and other external forces have there, and in the light of modalities of military or peaceful settlement and Moscow’s actions. Moscow says that all aid should be channelled from Damascus via three new government-controlled crossing points to the northern province. For negotiations and peace agreements, the two states need to share a common vision which seems to be very unlikely to happen.

[198] The town of Takad was shelled by government forces for the first of many times, causing residents to flee, according to MSF. The scenario is to be based on the four “Ds”: deradicalisation of the opposition, (primarily HTS): this is possible once intransigent and “professional” militants, mostly foreign ones, withdraw from Idlib; this is the common point in the interests of foreign actors; deideologisation of the regional elite: this entails moving away from the ideas of Jihadism in favour of implementing a consensus programme for socioeconomic development, with both local interest groups and technocrats involved; demilitarisation of the Idlib zone: post-conflict integration of former militants into territorial law enforcement and municipal bodies; decentralisation: granting Idlib a special transitional status within a unified Syria.

[380], On 18 March, Turkish troops entered the de-escalation zone to reopen the M4 highway previously blocked by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and jihadist factions. [142] An Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force commander, Asghar Pashapour, was killed the same day in the Aleppo countryside.
