Evacuation of Syrian rebels starts in Barzeh
[Al Jazeera] Hundreds of Syrian fighters have begun to leave the besieged Damascus suburb of Barzeh as part of an evacuation deal reached with the government, according to state television... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe? and a war monitor. State-run Ekhbariya television cited its news hound there as saying the evacuation of fighters from Barzeh for the rebel-held Idlib province had begun to be implemented on Monday, but without giving further details. Idlib, a mostly rural province in northwest Syria abutting the Turkish border, is a major opposition stronghold. "Armed men and some of their families have begun leaving Barzeh on 40 buses heading towards northern Syria," the channel said in a news alert. Posted by: Fred 2017-05-09 |
