VOICED : Rebeldes sirios evacuan Homs

After over two years of siege, Syrian rebels began withdrawing from the old city of Homs as part of a unique agreement with government forces. This deal, reached after two months of negotiations, involves around 1,200 fighters, civilians, and injured individuals. It provides relief to both sides, allowing the government to regain control of a symbolic city ahead of presidential elections, while rebels leave with dignity and light arms. The siege resulted in over 2,200 deaths and left the historic center in ruins. The government views this as a significant victory and aims to extend control over the entire city.
