Syrian army says Aleppo has returned to govt control

Syrian Army has claimed to retake Aleppo entirely and brought security and safety back to the city, as the last group of rebel fighters were evacuated. The last group of rebels and their families holed up in a small enclave in Aleppo were evacuated today, under a deal that gives the army and its allies full control of the city after years of fighting, state television said.<br/><br/>The final phase of the evacuation ended when a convoy carrying nearly 150 people, including fighters and members of their families, departed towards rebel-held areas outside the city, it said. Broadcasting live, state media showed footage of a convoy crossing from the Ramousah highway junction in south Aleppo to al-Rashideen in the countryside just southwest of the city.<br/><br/>In parallel, two buses carrying people from the pro-government villages of al-Foua and Kefraya, besieged by rebels in Idlib, arrived in government-held Aleppo, state TV said.<br/><br/>
