Syrian government negotiating Nusra in southern Damascus for evacuation deal
2017-04-11
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian government has reportedly entered into negotiations with Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) in a southern suburb of Damascus to concluded an evacuation deal.

According to reports, representatives from the Syrian Army and the Lebanese Hezbollah have made their way ‐ last Saturday ‐ into the Nusra-controlled parts of Yarmouk Refugee Camp in the southern outskirts of the capital to arrange an agreement whereby Islamic turbans will be safely transported to the northwestern province of Idlib, in return to handing over the districts they control to the Syrian authorities.

The same reports disclosed that ISIS has offered HTS turbans to fully lift the siege imposed on the latter’s neighborhoods of the Camp, in addition to provide all supplies needed if the HTS refrains from surrendering their territories to the Syrian government and its allied Paleostinian factions.

Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham ‐formerly known as al-Nusra
...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ...
Front ‐ has been engaged in fierce fighting with the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
turbans in the afflicted Paleostinian Refugee camp. the festivities killed dozens from both sides and further exacerbated the already-deteriorated situation in the Camp.

Thousands of turbans in and around Damascus have been evacuated to Idlib as per agreements with the Syrian government.
