數以百計敘利亞人離開霍姆斯反政府武裝控制下的最後地區大綱

Hundreds of people are leaving the last rebel-held section of the central Syrian city of Homs on Wednesday as part of a local peace deal with the government.

Syrian forces besieged the area for several years during the country's civil war, as pockets of rebels remained in the area that was one of the early flashpoints in the conflict.

In addition to opposition fighters leaving the Wael district, hundreds of civilians are boarding buses out of the area. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the violence in Syria, said 750 people were expected to leave Wednesday.

Once the rebel fighters leave, the Syrian government will be in full control of Homs, which is located about 150 kilometers north of the capital, Damascus, along a highway that also connects the cities of Hama and Aleppo further to the north.

Efforts to bring a comprehensive peace agreement to Syria have so far yielded little progress, while smaller, local deals have been struck in several parts of the country. The United Nations and a group of world powers are currently working to get the Syrian government and various opposition groups to begin U.N.-mediated talks by January 1.星期三，數百人離開敘利亞中部城市霍姆斯反叛武裝控制的最後地區，這是與政府達成的一項地方和平協議的一部分。

內戰期間，該地區多年來一直被敘利亞軍隊包圍，那裏是最早爆發衝突的地區之一，被零星反政府武裝所佔據。

除反政府武裝人員外，數以百計的平民也登上了離開瓦爾區的巴士。設在英國的監督敘利亞衝突的敘利亞人權瞭望臺說，星期三預計會有750人離開那裏。

反叛武裝撤離後，敘利亞政府將全面控制霍姆斯。這裏位於首都大馬士革以北約150公里處一條高速公路旁，沿公路再往北，還有哈馬市和阿勒頗市。

促成敘利亞全面和平協議的努力迄今爲止收效甚微，但是有些地區達成了小範圍的地方協議。聯合國以及一些世界大國正在努力促使敘利亞政府和幾個反政府組織在明年1月1日之前開始由聯合國斡旋的談判。
