While the media has been fixated on the elections, both Syria and Russia have been tightening their stranglehold on Aleppo. In an effort to provide humanitarian aid to the beleaguered city, Russian and Syrian forces are offering the terrorists inside Aleppo and chance to escape, with their weapons.
General Valery Gerasimov, the chief of the Russian General Staff, said the militants failed to break through the blockade around the city last week and accept Russia’s proposal to leave eastern Aleppo through two specially designated corridors, while reiterating that they would be allowed to keep arms.
“Considering that our American colleagues were unable to separate the opposition from terrorists, we are addressing all militant leaders directly, urging them to cease hostilities and leave Aleppo with their arms,” he said. “Two corridors will be opened, from which Syrian troops and weapons would be pulled back.”
One of the corridors for the militants leads to the Turkish-Syrian border and another one to Idlib, the general said.
Sounds like a good deal.
