Moscow – The Russian defence ministry said Thursday that the Syrian regime flag is flying in the town of Douma, which it said meant government forces had taken full control over Eastern Ghouta.

“Today a significant event in the history of Syria took place. The raising of a regime flag over a building in the town of Douma signified control over this town and consequently over Eastern Ghouta as a whole,” Major General Yury Yevtushenko, head of the Russian military’s centre for reconciliation in Syria, was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.

Russian television showed footage of the Syrian government’s red, white and black flag with two green stars hanging from an unidentified building, while cheering crowds waved flags in among shell-damaged buildings.

The Russian defence ministry also said Thursday that its military police had begun patrolling Douma, after announcing their planned deployment the day before.

“From today, units of the Russian armed forces’ military police are working in the town of Douma. They are a guarantee of the observance of law and order in the town,” the defence ministry said in a statement, RIA Novosti news agency reported.

The Russian military said the situation in Douma was normalising and a total of 166,644 people had been evacuated from the city through a humanitarian corridor.

  1. God’ S Wisdom
    Love your neighbor as you love your self, if you keep blaming and hating each other wait you will be destroyed completely one another.

    Most Arab leaders do not obey God’s law anymore— they ignore it—-Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, etc cities have been destroyed to the ground, million Muslim have been suffered and killed.

    There is no sign to end this conglict soon—-can you imagine how difficult people live there?

    With ❤️

    • Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen – let’s look at how these wars would be without American arms, ammunition and killer teams. Yes, may be the Yemenis would fight each other, with their beautiful swords. Probably no civilians would be killed. No children would be slaughtered. Yes, the Arabs are at fault too. As the now disgraced Dr. Tariq Ramadan said (before his current problems): “We are being distabalized because we are distabalizable just as we were colonized because we were colonizable.”

  2. It seems to us that Ahmadiyyah who has 10 millions members cannot stop the conflict or war in Muddle East—
    Why?
    What is the Ahmadiyyah’s contribution for peace in Arab countries ?
    Whereas Ahmadiyyah believe that MGA was a Masshiah from Allah.,

    What do you respond Rafiq, Riffat?
    ❤️

    • Yes, the weapons of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community are only prayers. Wait and see … what Allah has in mind.

  3. Rafiq— only prayer is not sufficent at all— there is no good reasult of million Ahmadiyyah prayer every day.

    What is wrong with Ahmadiyyah’s prayer for decades?
    Can you explain it

    ❤️

    • Somi, you are blind (on one eye). Look at the progress of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at for the last decades. I have seen it, as I have a few decades on my head already. Prayers, peace conferences, advice of our Khalifa to world leaders, publications, books, pamphlets, articles, action, action, action – but no, we do not want to be ‘just another militia’, if that is what you think.
