Some of the rebel fighters near the Syrian capital have begun to leave their last bastion in eastern Ghouta. The evacuation involves militants from the rebel group Failaq al-Rahman who are now leaving the town of Douma on the eastern outskirts of Damascus. The group agreed last month to give up a string of towns in eastern Ghouta in exchange for safe passage to the insurgent-held province of Idlib in the north. The dominant rebel group in Douma is the Army of Islam. It agreed to a deal on Saturday to evacuate wounded civilians and fighters to Idlib.
