[NEWS] Syrian Army regains control of eastern Aleppo

[Perry]

Earlier, a spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Rupert Colville, said he had been told that 82 civilians, including women and children, were shot in their homes or on the streets Monday.
The gruesome reports of executions prompted the UN Security Council's emergency meeting Tuesday afternoon at the urging of the United Kingdom and France. Tough words were aimed at Syria and its allies.

Essentially the Syrian army is pushing for the last of the rebel-held neighborhoods in aleppo. So far they've shot and killed 82 unarmed civilians, including men women & children, in their homes and the streets with no trial or chance to defend. They were shot on the spot.

on a better note, the killing of those 82 civilians marked the Syrian Army's official regaining of control over eastern Aleppo. They're currently working out a peace treaty with the Rebels so right now there's a cessation of military activity. For the time being people are somewhat safe.

"So there's no question about cessation of hostilities, or humanitarian operations. The Syrian government has established control over east Aleppo so now the stage has come for practical humanitarian initiatives."
At the same time, sources inside Aleppo tell CNN a ceasefire and evacuation agreement has been reached in the beleaguered eastern part of the city.

why are you trying to talk to someone who's clearly mentally feeble. He's justifying slaughtering family with "Oh man they choose to stay there even tho it's a warzone". You're not gonna convince him to not be a stuffty person

Gee, you're right! we should go to war with russia, back them into a corner, forcing them to use nuclear artillary, killing those people anyway, and a hell of a lot more. :/

[Decepticon]

what good does it serve to the SAA to deliberately round up and execute their own countrymen?

im not saying it's not terrible these people died in a time of war and im not blaming them for not leaving their homeland, I'm just saying I don't think they were lined up on walls and killed without reason

i wanna wait for more stories to come out on this then see how the picture looks
