#BreakingNews:
Journalist on the ground in #Syria confirm all busses (121) that evacuated 6900 civilians and militants from Fua and Kfarya arrived safely to gov controlled area.

Many busses, according to eye witness, have been stoned (broken glasses).

In exchange pop Fuas and Kfarya, Jihadists and prisoners (1500) crossed in direction of #Idlib, the biggest concentration of Jihadists and militants evacuated from all over #Syria and under Turkish controlled zone.

#Russia managed to satisfy #Damascus and #Tehran will to free Fua and Kfarya without a fight.

Assad wanted to push #SAA in direction of Fua and Kfarya (sieged since April 2015) at the beginning of this year but #Moscow asked him to be patience.

The only concern today remains, as explained, of another suicide attack against Fua and Kfarya inhabitants while they are evacuated as was the case in April 2017 when over 320 civilians were killed by a suicide attack hundreds of meters before reaching their freedom.

Busses coming from government controlled area and carrying prisoners released by #Damascus have no broken windows signs like the one of Fua and Kfarya, said an eye witness on al-Eiss crossing (point of exchange and crossing to both sides, gov side and Jihadists side).

No one stayed behind in Fua and Kfarya: both cities were completely evacuated with #Turkey as guarantor.

Many of #Syria allies were based in the two cities contributing in their defence and training in the last years.

Now #Idlib has no more cards to play with the evacuation of #Fua and #Kfarya inhabitants.

Erdogan said to Putin that if the Syrian Army advances toward Idlib, the Astana agreement would totally dissipate.

Unless Jihadists give the right excuse to Putin and take the initiative!!

Mainstream media, as usual, wrote tons of articles about the suffering of Zabadani, Madaya, Aleppo, and any city liberated by the Syrian Army, but very rarely about Fua and Kfarya.

The usual "cherry picking humanitarian conscience". #Syria #Yemen.

Update on Fua/Kfarya complete evacuation in exchange of Jihadists in #Daraa & prisoners:
Of 1500 prisoners, 700 refused to cross to #Idlib jihadists stronghold by their own will. Jihadists engaged in the exchange, held 900 inhabitants of F & K hostages & refuse to set them free.

Over 10,000 of Fua/Kfarya Shia majority cities have been killed & wounded since 2015 by extremists Jihadists of Ahrar al-Sham & Nusra then. Today, out of 121 busses used for F&K exodus, 49 were hit by rockets breaking windows of busses carrying Children,women,elderly & militants.

correction
Rockets = Rocks.
