The military command of the opposition forces has issued a statement, with strict instructions sent out to all opposition forces.
The statement, as reported by Al Jazeera, states:
It is strictly forbidden to fire bullets into the air under any circumstances, as it causes panic among civilians and endangers the lives of the innocent.
It is forbidden to tamper with public institutions and property, as they are the rightful property of the people. It is our duty to protect and preserve them and help develop them.
It is forbidden to encroach upon or harm any private property in any form.
