On December 1, the Free Syrian Army’s central command agree to a permanent ceasefire and evacuation for the remaining rebels inside of Al-Wa’er with the Governor of Homs – Talal Al-Barazi. The evacuation includes two phases:
•    1st is to allow humanitarian aid to any remaining civilians living inside the district
•    2nd is the transportation of the 600 rebel fighters from Al-Wa’er to the Idlib Governorate. The plan is supposed to take about two months.
