The other interesting thing about Deraa is that the population there has influence. Until recently, there was a lower National Defense Force presence in Deraa, which could suggest that the population is less predisposed to mobilize on behalf of the regime. For the rebels, more than other provinces, armed groups are attuned and accountable to popular demands. As groups like Jabhat al-Nusra have become more dominant there, they are still constrained by the wishes of the local population, which has made it a more a tempered, moderate rebel dynamic.
