Syrian rebels and their families left the last opposition-held district of the city of Homs on Sunday, after the implementation of a reconciliation deal that will put the city back under the control of the Assad government.
‘The city of Homs is completely clear of weapons and militants after completing the reconciliation deal in al-Waer district,’ Homs Governor Talal Barazi said, according to Syrian state media.
Government forces supported by the Russian military have moved in to many areas in al-Waer, a district in Northwestern Homs, to oversee the evacuation.
Some of the evacuating rebels were unhappy with the terms of the agreement, but say that have no choice but to leave.
‘These are people that have not accepted the terms of the national reconciliation movement,’ said Al Jazeera’s Mohammed Jamjoom, who spoke to some of the rebels.
