Russian MoD: 50,000 civilians evacuated from east Aleppo in past two days (w/VIDEO)
Civilians fleeing east Aleppo are greeted by the Syrian army.
Over the past 48 hours, up to 50,000 people have been evacuated from eastern Aleppo, Russian Defense Ministry spokesperson Major General Igor Konashenkov has reported.
“More than 20,000 residents left eastern Aleppo in the first part of Saturday, and 1,217 militants laid down their weapons,” Konashenkov said.
“The Russian Center for Reconciliation, through humanitarian corridors near Karim El-Hun and Mahayar, has organized the evacuation of civilians from the eastern parts of Aleppo to the safe areas of the city,” Konashenkov added.
“We warn terrorists and militants of the so-called ‘moderate opposition,’ and also their patrons: Do not attempt any provocations, especially attacks on civilians leaving through humanitarian corridors,” the Russian Defense Ministry statement says.
Konashenkov also addressed those who, over the past few months, have declared their readiness to send humanitarian aid to Aleppo.
“Representatives of the US, UK, France, Canada, the European Union, and international organizations: Over the past two days, nearly 50,000 civilians have been evacuated by the Russian Reconciliation Center from the eastern parts of Aleppo. They are in need of the humanitarian assistance you promised. It is time to check the validity of your intentions.”
The statement added that the Syrian government now controls 93 percent of Aleppo, and the civilians who exited eastern Aleppo have been placed in special humanitarian centers where they are provided with hot food and medical help.
The Russian Reconciliation Center is monitoring the evacuation of civilians from the blocked districts round-the-clock with the use of drones. […]

I understand the figure is now 75,000 liberated from East Aleppo. This means there must be 225,000 civilians in the remaining approximately 7% of East Aleppo not yet liberated if MSM claims over the years are correct.
A report from on the ground in Aleppo from real ‘fake news’ designated outlet 21 Century wire interview with the Syrian MP of Aleppo and Vanessa Beeley who has been in liberated parts of East Aleppo and speaking with some of those liberated. http://21stcenturywire.com/2016/12/11/episode-164-sunday-wire-liberation-aleppo-with-guests-fares-shehabi-mp-vanessa-beeley/
This story highlights better than anything the lies of the mainstream media
That is why they are not showing it.
The US is constantly harping that Russia is harming not helping the Syrians. This major breakthrough sure doesn’t look like harm to me.

it is exactly this sort of news that we don’t get in the so-called “Free” western media.
There’s no mention of Aleppo, or refugees fleeing towards Syrian troops in this morning’s Sydney Morning Herald, or the Guardian’s Australian edition. I guess good news(for Aleppo civilians) is not considered “News”. The Guardian’s American edition says “Diplomats(from around the World) urge Russia and Assad to show “grace” towards refugees, and “mercy for rebel fighters”……..Sounds like the West’s mercenaries got their arse’s kicked……
