A deal between Syria's government and rebels for opposition fighters to leave the Old City of Homs will be implemented in the next 48 hours, the provincial governor said Monday.
"We will begin the application of the initiative in the coming 48 hours depending on the situation on the ground," Homs governor Talal al-Barazi told AFP.
"I hope that things will go smoothly, in which case the initiative will be completed quickly," he added.
The agreement involves the fate of about 2,250 fighters, civilians and injured people, according to the opposition.
They have been trapped in the neighborhoods under government siege for nearly two years, and will be granted safe passage out under the accord.
"We have agreed that they will head towards Talbisseh and Dar al-Kabira," Barazi said, referring to two rebel districts in the north of Homs province.
The governor refused to describe the plan as a "deal" preferring to use the term "arrangement" instead and said various logistical issues had been tackled.
"An appropriate route, the people who will be present at the departure and arrival points to ensure the security of the convoy, the security points on the route and the removal of the mines placed by the rebels in the Old City," he said, referring to the challenges.
"We have to prepare properly because if this is successful, we will be able to continue in Waer," he said.
Waer will be the only remaining rebel area in Homs after the evacuation of the besieged Old City and surrounding areas.
Several hundred thousand people live there, including thousands displaced from other areas.
Rebel fighters have said that the deal involves the freeing of 70 Lebanese and Iranian prisoners being held by the rebel Islamic Front alliance in the northern province of Aleppo, as well as the entry of aid to two pro-government villages under rebel siege in the same province.
Barazi denied the existence of Iranian hostages but said all initiatives between the rebels and government involved efforts to seek the release of hostages and the entry of humanitarian aid.
SYRIAN ARMY DEVASTATING TERRORISTS IN AL-MALEEHA AND JAWBAR

by Ziad Fadel
This just in: The organizations called Jaysh Al-Islam (Army of Islam), Al-Ittihaad Al-Islaami (The Islamic Union) and Ajnaad Al-Shaam (The Soldiers of Islam) have taken their queer kind of Islam with them to the bowels of extinction today as the SAA has ravaged their ranks all over Al-Maleeha and Jawbar.
The SAA is now deep inside Al-Maleeha in a search-and-destroy, surround-and-snuff, sweep-and-spray, operation that has just finished off 13 terrorists during the last hour with over 40 surrendering. Of the terrorists killed in this operation, 2 have been confirmed as Tunisians. We are delighted to announce the names of the next Tunisian candidates for an expensive trip to the beautiful slopes of Mt. Erebus:
- Belqaassem Al-Fakkooshi (TUNISIAN GNAT DROPPING)
- Ahmad Bin Jadeed (TUNISIAN WORM SPUNK)
Jawbar:
A command-and-control (C&C) center destroyed and 20 confirmed terrorist kills in the last hour. Again, the disappearing worlds of these 2 packs of terrorists from the Islamic Union and the Soldiers of Islam are now reifying in Hell. No names, yet.
