Popular Uprising against Terrorist Groups Reported in Eastern Ghouta

 

A large number of people residing in Eastern Ghouta of Damascus poured into the streets on Thursday, calling for the withdrawal of terrorists and deployment of government forces.

The residents of al-Hamouriyah neighborhood carried the flag of the Syrian Arab Republic in the streets of the town, while chanting in support of the government and army.

The residents of al-Hamouriyah also called on the militants inside the town to leave in order to avoid any clashes in this part of Eastern Ghouta.

Meantime, efforts by the Damascus government to negotiate with the terrorists to leave Eastern Ghouta have failed for the latter’s defiance to hold talks. Damascus has even specified a safe corridor for the terrorists to leave Eastern Ghouta but none of them has accepted to retreat.

Syria and Russia have repeatedly demanded that the militants surrender their East Ghouta pocket in order to avoid any clashes.

In a relevant development on Wednesday, Syria’s flags were seen hoisted inside a major militant-held town in Eastern Ghouta region as army troops are increasingly expanding control in the terrorist bastion.

Local sources said that Syria’s flag has been hoisted by people in the terrorist-held settlements of Sabqa and Hamouriyeh in Eastern Ghouta.

The sources said that the people, whose region has been under several years of terrorists’ occupation, are preparing to welcome the Syrian Army in their villages, settlements and towns.

Civilians in Mesraba settlement have protested massively against terrorists, the sources said, adding that the Damascus government has started negotiating with local leaders to hand over their regions to the army troops.
