Alwaght- Syrian government accepted to resume the halted process of militants leaving Aleppo in return for the safety of civilian population in some districts.
Based on a previous agreement, militants and their families were allowed to leave the recently liberated city in return for safe exit of civilians in Fuaa and Kefraya villages in Idlib province that are under siege by militant and terrorist groups.
The process was paused when militants started to attack the safe corridors preventing civilians from leaving the villages.
Reports on Saturday quoted Syrian government sources as saying that the new deal would see a resumption of the evacuations. The fresh deal was reportedly reached after the militants agreed to allow residents out of the two villages.
Thousands have already been transferred out of Aleppo, where full government control was recently restored, before the suspension of the deal on Friday.
Earlier on Saturday, militant groups had said that a new agreement was struck to complete the evacuations from the militant-held areas of eastern Aleppo. Al-Farouk Abu Bakr, a Syrian militant, told news channel al-Arabiya al-Hadath on Saturday that the deal included an evacuation from the two villages in Idlib as well as from the towns of Madaya and Zabadani.
Meanwhile, Syrian state television said that the militants in the villages of Zakiya and Deir Khabieh in the southwestern countryside of the capital, Damascus, have also laid down their weapons and surrendered to the Syrian authorities as part of another deal between the two sides.
