Buses have entered al-Mu'adhamiyah and have begun evacuation of 800 local & Daraya militants + their families, they will be taken to Idlib
Looks like 20 buses/1000 people already on their way.

An evacuation deal held earlier between the Syrian government and rebels in the southwestern town of Al-Moadamiyah has entered into force today with hundreds of militants leaving the longtime rebel bastion.
Local sources reported that around 700 militants with their families (1800 in total) have initiated a one-way trip to the northwestern province of Idlib.
Those who choose to stay will have their status settled by the Syrian authorities.
The sources said that approximately 200 out of the 700 militants are originally from the adjacent Darayya and Kafarsouseh towns.
Eye witnesses said that dozens of the government 'green buses', accompanied by the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, have entered the town early this morning to prepare for the evacuation process.
Last week, rebels in western Damascus left Al-Hama and Qudsaya to Idlib under a similar agreement.
Looks like that is now the objective of US/Saudi. The last paras from the latest Fortrus post on the subjectGeorge1 wrote:so now all ISIS is concentrated in Syria

The Iraqi air force has bombed a few but there's reports that already 100 ISIS commanders have fled to Syria. I remember a couple of weeks ago Putin saying that a squadron of Su-25 can be deployed to Syria in the matter of 2-3 days, i think that time should be now, they will be needed for the massive offensive against Deir ez Zoir and Palmyra. But i think troops are ideally needed as well, hopefully the Mosul offensive, and Turkish backed FSA offensive in northern Aleppo lasts for a few months more and that Aleppo city has fallen by then. Because the extra troops will be needed from Aleppo offensive to use elsewhere. If only China got its finger out and deployed some troops. I really dont want to see the troops in Deir ez Zoir to be butchered after all there hard work over the last few years.

So before they get out, they would be forced regroup and coordinate. This will take time. As simple as that.
Russia insists two Belgium warplanes flying from an Air Force base in Jordan attacked a village in Syria, citing radar data. Belgium denies conducting any airstrikes.
Brussels’ continued denial of the jets movements in the area is Belgian Defense Minister Steven Vandeput “deliberately deceiving people in Belgium and elsewhere in the world, or his subordinates and the Americans are lying to the leadership of Belgium,” Russian Defense Ministry spokesman General Igor Konashenkov said.

An airstrike on the village of Hassadjek in Aleppo province reportedly killed six civilians on Tuesday. Russia has now reiterated its accusations against Belgium, saying data from Russian and Syrian radar stations confirm it.
“Detailed information about the operation of the Belgian F-16s in Syrian sky will be delivered to the Belgian side through diplomatic and military channels,” Konashenkov said.
The two Belgian F-16 jets accused of the attack flew from the Muwaffaq Salti Airbase in Jordan, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman General Igor Konashenkov said, adding that they were immediately identified.
“Every aircraft type has a unique identifiable signature,” he said.
The Belgian warplanes delivered their strike at the village at 12:35 GMT, about two hours after the take-off, the general said. The attack left six civilians killed and four others injured. The jets were later refueled by a US KC-135 tanker, continued patrolling around the city of Azaz in northwestern Syria and then flew towards Iraq, Konashenkov added.
Belgium earlier denied Russia’s accusations, saying none of its six warplanes contributing to the US-led coalition had flown over the region. The Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador to Brussels to voice its protest.

The US might not be attacking their Sunni 'foot soldiers' as they flee west but sure as hell the Iraqi AF is. Plus Russia is in the INT centre in Bagdad. Moscow knows everything there is to know and said so yesterday. Posted in other thread.

So basically this character has 0 credibility here, and already i can see many people that are saying that this is another screw up.
Our Ministers of Defense have had a long standing tradition of getting caught with their pants down in some NATO induced scandals.
I truly hope that Russia can provide some conclusive evidence. But our media will probably simply choose not to report on the subject anymore if they do.
Otherwise i am certain this guy's head would role...
The general public does not take kindly here to playing NATO lapdog, its just our military and political elite who like to do that, but preferably without the public knowing about it.
Also, i don't think you will find a single civilian who is not opposed to the sanctions against Russia, as they are ruining our agriculture as well. Unfortunately our politicians provide daily distractions, as we have some major internal issues of the "communal" type to worry about.
