foreign mercenaries ?? that is funny the so called rebels come from all over the world from europe middle east and asiaRaqqa is under ISIS control. The rebels control Idlib and half Aleppo, plus the Southern Syrian cities around Daraa, which is completely surrounded by the rebels and the it's kept in the hands of the regime just because the Russian air force prevents any offensive from taking place.
Latakia is mostly controlled by Russia and small groups of Syrian/foreign mercenaries that form a so tiny force that cannot be called an army. The only reason why these cities resist is because Assad is covered by the air force. And like you said he's a puppet so they do everything to keep him in power, but he lacks men. Not even the alawites want to join the army, they all defect because they don't have reasons to fight. The only thing to worry about is Al Nusra, but they know that the FSA/YPG/USA allies would never allow a sectarian revenge to take place. That's the reason why most of the "Syrian" forces are imported from other countries.
