Syria: Government reaches deal for evacuations
SYRIAN troops and civilians will leave their last bastion in Idlib while insurgents surrender two strongholds in the west, it was reported yesterday.
The deal will see soldiers and civilians evacuated from Foua and Kafarya on the outskirts of Idlib city.
The predominantly Shi’ite Muslim residents have held out against two years of rocket and sniper attacks from al-Qaida-affiliated Wahhabi factions that seized the province in early 2015.
