Negotiations in Syria’s Daraa collapse reaching no agreement
DARRA, Syria (North Press) – A new negotiation session between the Central Committee in Daraa and government forces, in the presence of Russian military police, ended in the center of Daraa city, on Wednesday evening, achieving no progress.
Adnan al-Masalma, the Central Committee spokesman in Daraa, told North Press that the negotiations reached nothing new because of the government forces’ insistence on entering all besieged neighborhoods, searching all houses, and setting up military posts in them.
Meanwhile, unknown individuals conducted two separate assassinations in Daraa resulting in the killing of two people, according to local sources.
Faisal Khalil al-Halawat “Abu Husam”, who is a judge in the real estate court in Daraa, was killed in front of his house in the southern neighborhood of Nawa city in the western countryside of Daraa, in a targeting carried out by unknown individuals, sources said.
Meanwhile, young man, Muhammad Osama al-Juhaishi, was also killed in front of his house in Jassem city, in the northern countryside of Daraa, by unknown assailants.
The sources indicated that al-Juhaishi was subjected to an assassination attempt late in July of 2021.
Hours after the implementation of an agreement between the Central Committee in Daraa and Russian military police, it collapsed on Tuesday after two individuals, whom the government demanded be deported to the Syrian north, refused to leave Daraa al-Balad.
The pro-Iranian factions continue to target almost continuously the besieged neighborhoods in Daraa (Daraa al-Balad, Tariq al-Sad, and the camps).
They also continue to bring in more reinforcements to the vicinity of Daraa al-Balad and the besieged neighborhoods, in an effort to disrupt any agreement, local sources told North Press.
For more than two months, government forces and pro-Iranian factions have besieged the neighborhood of Daraa al-Balad and closed most of the roads leading to it.
