The popular discontent increases in Madaya and warnings to Hezbollah and the regime of not-completing the agreement of getting 1500 people out of the city in exchange for an equal number of Al-Fu’ah and Kafriya

 

Resentment continues to increase in Madaya city in Rif Dimashq, because Hezbollah who besieges the city prevented the committee of the city’s residents (who live out of it which was chosen to negotiate with them) from entering the city and see the reality of its situation, as well as preventing the internal committee within Madaya city from getting out and meeting this committee, which raised the pace of resentment among the people of the city, where the people warned Hezbollah and the regime of not carrying out the agreement and preventing the exit of any person on board of buses, unless they give full guarantees for those who will remain inside the city after the exit of 1500 people out of it in exchange for the exit of similar number of Al-Fu’ah and Kafriya, which are inhabited by Shiite citizens in the northeastern countryside of Idlib, and that preventing the meeting of both committees is nothing but a sign that no guarantees will be presented to those who will remain inside the city.

It is worth mentioning that Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published yesterday that dissatisfaction is taking over civilians in Madaya city which is under siege by regime forces and Hezbollah, after preparations to transport 1500 medical cases from the city into other areas to retrieve treatment.

The sources confirmed to SOHR that the civilians of Madaya are taking this operation as the last one, as they hear about transporting rebels from the city to settle their situations, while others are wanted for the military service and civilians who don’t want to stay in the city and don’t want any settlement with the regime, as they take it as an international agreement taking under the table, to leave Madaya for later fate and negotiations on Kafria and al-Foua.
