Syrian militants have used gunfire to disperse a protest by angry residents of the flashpoint city of Aleppo against militant's measure for preventing food, medicine and oil from reaching civilians in the western part of the city.
The protest took place on Wednesday in the city including in the Bustan al-Qasr District where foreign-backed Takfiris fired into the air to disperse the protesters chanting “the people want an end to the blockade.”
At least two million people live in the area which is controlled by the militants.
The civilians were demonstrating at a checkpoint that prevents supplies from entering the western part of the city which is controlled by the Syrian armed forces.
There are conflicting reports about possible casualties with some saying one person was killed
Residents in Aleppo's west say food prices have drastically soared as a result of the blockade.
The Syria crisis began in mid-March 2011. Many people, including large numbers of security personnel, have been killed in the violence, and several international human rights organizations say the foreign-sponsored militants have committed war crimes.
The Syrian government says the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the militants are foreign nationals.

Obama administration-backed FSA rebels are starving Syrians by imposing food blockades and shooting at protesters in the city of Aleppo.
Even opposition activists who normally reserve their criticism for the Assad regime have condemned the action, noting that it has caused food prices to spike to more than ten times normal levels.
“This is a crime … Some of our rebel forces, God reform them, are participating in this blockade. Prices are soaring at an unimaginable rate. There is now horrible scarcity,” one of the activists told Reuters.
Rebel fighters dubiously blamed government forces for the blockade, despite the fact that it is being imposed by FSA militants, who are blocking roads and preventing food, medical provisions and even baby milk formula from reaching the city, which is split between FSA and Syrian Army control.
In addition, Aleppo residents who attended protests against the food blockade were shot at and killed by FSA rebels. Activist Edward Dark, who works to help displaced families in Aleppo, tweeted out the following photo of two victims killed by FSA militants.
Despite allegations that the Egyptian military shot at Muslim Brotherhood protesters following last week’s coup receiving widespread media attention, reports that FSA rebels are now doing the same thing to Syrian citizens have attracted virtually no press coverage.
Reports are also emerging that 20 prisoners have already starved to death in an Aleppo prison due to the food shortages. According to residents, FSA fighters are threatening them with starvation unless they join up with the rebels, who are being led by Al-Qaeda terrorists.
The Obama administration last month signaled its intention to arm FSA rebels despite a plethora of evidence confirming they have joined forces with Al-Qaeda terrorists and are committing atrocities on a routine basis. Some fighters have even threatened to commit more war crimes if heavy weaponry is not immediately sent by western powers, while others have vowed to attack the US and Europe once they are finished in Syria.
