NYT: Assad in Complete Control of Aleppo as Evacuation of Rebel Districts Ends
BEIRUT, Lebanon — The evacuation of civilians and fighters from the last rebel-held part of Aleppo concluded on Thursday after long delays because of frigid weather, putting all of Syria’s industrial capital back in the hands of President Bashar al-Assad’s forces for the first time since 2012.
The last buses carrying residents from eastern Aleppo left the city late Thursday night, according to the Syrian state news agency.
