Russian military police enter Daraa city to implement the agreement between its clans and the Syrian regime

The agreement provides for an immediate ceasefire and the entry of a Russian military police patrol and its stationing in Daraa al-Balad, in addition to the lifting of the siege and the entry of aid into the besieged neighborhoods.

The Russian military police entered the neighborhoods of the Syrian city of Daraa today, Wednesday, as part of a 3-day ceasefire agreement between the tribes of Daraa and the Syrian regime.

The Negotiations Committee on behalf of the people of Daraa said - in a statement - that the agreement with the regime regarding the besieged neighborhoods in the city was made with the guarantee of the Russian side, and provides for an immediate ceasefire, the entry of a Russian military police patrol and its stationing in Daraa al-Balad, in addition to the lifting of the siege and the entry of aid into the neighborhoods of Daraa al-Balad. .

The agreement also included working to release detainees, clarifying the fate of the missing, as well as deploying 4 security points for the regime, and opening centers for the so-called "settlement of situations" for a specific number of Daraa's youth.

The US embassy in Syria had condemned - in a tweet on Twitter - the attack by the regime forces on Daraa, describing it as barbaric.

The tweet stated that the attack had killed civilians, displaced thousands of people, and caused severe shortages of food and medicine. The embassy called for an immediate ceasefire in Daraa and for the United Nations and relief organizations to be able to enter the city without hindrance.

Al-Jazeera obtained pictures showing the extent of the destruction that the Al-Mansour Mosque was subjected to two days ago in the Al-Bahar neighborhood of Daraa Al-Balad in southern Syria. .

The Syrian Network for Human Rights said that it had documented the killing of 94 civilians, including 32 children, in Syria last August. The network stated that Daraa governorate topped the number of civilian casualties killed by the Syrian regime during the past month.

Earlier today, Wednesday, the negotiating committee in the Daraa Al-Balad area in the city of Daraa reached an agreement with Russia for a ceasefire, after heavy shelling and attempts to storm the area by the Syrian regime during the past days.

On June 25, the Syrian regime forces and their affiliated militias imposed a siege on the Daraa al-Balad area, after the opposition refused to hand over light weapons, as it violated an agreement brokered by Russia in 2018, which stipulated the handing over of heavy and medium weapons.

A month later, the Daraa Al-Balad Negotiating Committee and the regime forces reached an agreement stipulating a partial withdrawal of the remaining light weapons in the hands of the opposition, and a partial presence of the regime forces, but the latter violated the agreement and insisted on complete control of the area.
