Assad's soldiers give up their weapons in Syrian 'reconciliation centres' | BBC News

Over the past week, suspected reprisal killings of people from the Alawite community which Syria’s deposed president Bashar Al-Assad belongs to have triggered protests.

Rebels Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham who have formed the de facto government of the country have denied carrying out reprisal attacks, and have promised a general amnesty for members of the former regime.

Tens of thousands of the former regime’s forces have been crowding at HTS centres to surrender. The BBC’s Yogita Limaye has been speaking to them to understand why the regime fell so rapidly, and whether they believe in the promise of amnesty.
