2018-05-02 |
[Ynet] Syrian state media say rebels have agreed to surrender an enclave near Syria's third largest city to the government. Al-Ikhbariya TV says rebels have agreed to allow government forces into the countryside north of Homs and re-establish state institutions. Rebels will have the option of pledging their allegiance to the government or relocating to rebel-held territory in northern Syria. The station says the international highway running through the region will reopen in three days. The agreement is the latest in a string of capitulations by rebels worn down after seven years of war. Earlier this year, the government took back control of suburbs around Damascus and two neighborhoods held by 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group inside the capital. Tens of thousands of people have departed to northern Syria instead of living again under Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad Lord of the Baath... 's rule. |
