A month later, they pulled down President Bashar al-Assad has to worry about his father's statue, a jihad in the life of a city in eastern Syria regime may be what is in the store, the taste of the country, Assad himself was overthrown.
Police to give up the hard-line Islamic Brigade patrol the streets. A religious court has replaced the collapse of the judicial system, and ethnic minorities have fled, according to the the Raqqa citizen activists, decline against the outbreak of the uprising against the largest city in the four decades of Assad family rule since March 2011.
 
 
The jihad show of force, coupled with Western-backed Syrian National Union, the political opposition grouping, you can consolidate Islamic scan in the north and east of the country. Raqqa, there have been demonstrations and strikes, but experience shows that Islamic rule has been a tough start.
Of all Syria's oil production and the most eastern part of the food production, next to Iraq's Sunni Muslim heartland, where also actively opposed the Iranian-backed Shiite government in Baghdad Sunni jihadists.
Raqqa has been on the decline, the Ahrar deep, hundreds of battle, one of the best of the overthrow of the Assad opposition formations organizations run its Islamic allies effect in the region, opposition activists said.
They said that al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra front of a strong presence in the city and with the Ahrar. "Base" in Iraq wing Nusra announced on Tuesday, the now Syrian branch and two sets of operating under the name - the Islamic State of Iraq and the eastern Mediterranean.
Activist said Maen Kader, the Ahrar quickly take control of the electricity and water sectors, providing a mostly uninterrupted service, mainly because of major hydroelectric dams on the Euphrates River, 40 kilometers (25 miles) southwest of the town of Tabaqa has overflow Mujahideen.
Unlike border town of Tel Abyad northern Turkey, robbery Raqqa has been minimal, Kader said.
Cigarette sales
Nusra members had tried to limit the sale of cigarettes, they considered un-Islamic, but basically they Ahrar also tried to force the Islamic moral or dress Raqqa, already conservative Sunni city, he said.
"It seems Ahrar learned Tel Abyad and the prevention of disorder," Kader said.
"They are more complex than the al-Nusra, and their propaganda leaflets and posters, slick. They do not wear black Nusra, but they still want an Islamist of the state, "he added. ""
The Raqqa group A spokesman refused to be drawn on its political program. "Our primary task is to help restore service in Raqqa, and continue our military efforts, the fall of the regime," he said.
Ahrar and Nusra, however, has been overshadowed by a newly established opposition Raqqa provincial Council by the United States National Union, which appointed an interim prime minister last month to run the rebels - hand-held areas backing, activists said.
Despite their presence in the city, but Abdullah al-Khalil, the head of the Council, denied, militant jihadists have any significant influence there.
Ahrar al-Sham Shui Po is a combat unit, which has moved to the suburbs, you is not correct to say anything about the existence of a militant Nusra Front, "Khalil said that in 2007 the rights claimed by the counsel to the al-Assad President of the run, instead of a referendum, guarantee Assad election. he was forced to flee briefly.
He said the Nusra Raqqa some people to join, but they do not agree with its ideology.
Activists say jihadists their presence felt in the last month, of Raqqa Assad statue plaza, where once stood angered civil society, they have made a big black Islamic flag.
Bickering and protest outbreak. The dispute settlement Mujahideen agreed to allow each other to improve the green and white flag of the anti-Assad uprising.
Another activist compromise as a free core in the peaceful protest movement against Assad's "victory", but its influence is weakened, the revolutionaries to take up arms.
We are not satisfied
In a further sign of dissatisfaction with the new order, the staff of hundreds of countries who have not been paid and Raqqa with other public sector since the fall, demonstration and burned cars belonging to the rebel officials last week, the Raqqa sources said.
The socialist economy in Syria, East rely on state subsidies for wheat and cotton crops, and provide some job opportunities.
Poverty and unemployment, a sharp deterioration in the revolt a decade ago, led to water shortages, hundreds of people have been forced to leave their homes.
The experts say that the major factor behind the wheat subsidy crisis, inviting corruption and incitement to thousands of illegal wells dug by the farmers to help destroy the groundwater level. But subsidies bring Assad loyalty to.
Raqqa confidence in his side, Assad made a rare public appearance last year in the city, greeted by cheering supporters.
Decades ago by the late Hafez al-Assad, he used the carrot and stick method to build a network with Sunni tribal alliance Raqqa, the rest of the east, the basis of the power structure dominated by the small number of people laid the foundation.
Alawites moved to Raqqa province has taken the damn damn Tabaqa built in the 1970s, the public sector and the work of security agencies and Sunnis living in the area was flooded to further move eastward.
With the rebel fighters advanced, Tabaqa the Alawite community fled, as do Christians a church, were desecrated, according to activist Mohammed al-Qasim.
Qasim said that some of the jihadists, including summary judgment in religious courts have deviant behavior, but others have gained the reputation of effective managers.
"There is progress, but I am afraid that we are entering the collision Raqqa Civic Democratic Party and the Salafist Nusra Front," Kassem said.
"We ... a big problem in the reconstruction of the country's regime has been sidelined the political system of the population, which is a relatively easy process," he added.
Major cities
Seeing his base in the eastern unabated, activists said Assad had the ball in the court of the opposition is clearly to give up trying to recapture Raqqa.
Stretched to the power of loyalty, Assad have more energy on the prevention of major cities along the highway shield, the fall of Damascus, Homs, Hama, Aleppo.
The sources said, the military has been using air strikes and long-range missiles hit Raqqa down to the opposition and other towns, betting this will disturb any rebel government, and cause it to lose the support of the people.
An agricultural official said that the agricultural sector, the opposition will have "collapse" after the disappearance of subsidized fertilizer and fuel also have to deal with.
"The crop this year may be wasted," the official said.
Some relief may come from Western countries, pledged support to the Syrian National League, I hope the money will strengthen the "moderate" elements of the opposition, but activists say the Mujahideen-funded.
Western diplomats said the West would like to cash, to go through aid coordination unit, a non - partisan opposition coalition led by Suhair al-Atassi the division of labor.
A European diplomat said, channeling assistance to local emerging structure is more effective than the grand scheme of the provisional government.
Diplomat said: "You have to start small. Typically, the opposition wants to establish police forces 5000, they can be from 50 without it named a provisional government, and assuming that the political risks associated with it, you can have an execution. "
"What is important is that in order to maintain the structure of our government."
