Negotiations are underway between the Syrian regime and rebels for the evacuation of opposition forces from the last area they hold in Homs city, the provincial governor told AFP Monday.
Talal Barazi said a meeting was planned for Tuesday "with the goal of reaching a final resolution of the situation in Waer," in the west of Homs city.
Barazi said a deal would "mean the evacuation of the armed men and their weapons, as well as the return of state institutions to the district."
Some 75,000 people currently live in Waer, down from 300,000 before the Syrian conflict began in March 2011.
