| [NPASyria] On Thursday, the Syrian government obliged dozens of men in the town of Mhajjah, in the northern countryside of Daraa, south Syria, to settle their status or leave the town. A local source told North Press, "The government forces sent a list of 29 names of wanted people to the security branches which, in turn, demanded community leaders bring those men so they can settle their status." The source added that the list included eight people affiliated with the Russian-backed Eighth Brigade, including a commander named Hamed Akram Shabaneh. The Eighth Brigade, which was made by assembling Syrian rebels, was established by Russia following a settlement agreement in 2018 between the Syrian government and opposition. The source said that the government forces demanded the people mentioned in the list to hand over their weapons. The settlement starts tomorrow, on Friday. The government forces have warned the wanted people that if they are not willing to engage in the settlement, they must leave, the source added. This is the fifth settlement launched by the government in Daraa Governorate. It started on May 19 in the eastern countryside of Daraa, and it is still ongoing. |
