Syrian Fighters Of The Daesh Group Have Left The Jihadists Bastion Of raqqa. 




All Syrian fighters of the Daesh group have left the jihadists’ bastion of Raqqa and preparations are under way for foreign combatants to leave, a monitor said Saturday.

The jihadists left Raqqa with their families, heading to unknown destinations, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Syrian Daesh members had surrendered overnight to the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces battling to take full control of the city, without specifying how many.

“Those that surrendered are local, not foreigners — the foreigners have not handed themselves in yet,” Raqqa official told AFP on Saturday.

They sent a message to the Raqqa Civil Council and to the tribal mediators.”
Members of the RCC — a provisional administration for the city set up by the SDF — had been working with tribal leaders throughout the week to try to secure safe passage for civilians.

Hundreds of civilians have managed to flee the battle-ravaged city, which once served as the de facto Syrian capital of the jihadist group.
