Al Qaeda and its allies took the city in the Bashar Assad regime after only five days of fighting and more than 130 deaths on both sides.
An important victory in the northeast of the country, because this is the second provincial capital to escape the control of Damascus since the conflict began there four years. In the northeast, Raqa is in the hands of the jihadist Islamic state.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also confirmed that the city had come under the fold of the Al-Nusra Front, the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda, supported by Ahrar al-Sham and other Islamist rebel groups .
The defeat of the plan comes as Moscow prepares to host early April new discussions between representatives of the regime and part of the Syrian opposition, while no prospect of a solution to the conflict is in sight.
