Rebel hold on E. Aleppo collapsing latimes.com One of the few reports in the US to admit the civilians in E. Aleppo were being held hostage by the "rebels", and even then, you have to deduce it from the series of statements: In recent weeks, the government, along with its ally, Russia, had opened up humanitarian corridors for eastern Aleppo residents during unilaterally imposed cease-fires. Rebels who laid down their arms were promised an amnesty allowing them to return to government areas. Those who refused could take their personal weapons and receive passage to join other rebels in the opposition-held province of Idlib, west of Aleppo. In one bizarre initiative, the government even invited east Aleppo residents to a “friendly soccer game” as a way to build confidence. Despite the government repeatedly exhorting the rebels through leaflets and phone messages to abandon their positions inside the city “before it was too late,” very few heeded its call. Instead, rebels shelled the checkpoints the government had set up to receive those who left.
