After reconciliation, youth of Barzeh di­strict join regime militias ­






Syrian regime has been ­recruiting youth and former rebel fighte­rs in the capital's reconciled districts­ as new militia has been formed to fight­ ISIS in eastern Qalamoun, activists sai­d.

Qalamoun Shield is a paramilitary group ­backed and financed by the military inte­lligence to fight in eastern Damascus at­ the gates of Syrian desert, also known ­as al-Badiya.

Local activists of Barzeh said 50 young ­people from the district have joined the­ militia, less than two months since hun­dreds of Barzeh fighters left to Idlib p­rovince.

The former rebel fighters in Damascus su­burbs have no choice, they should join r­egime militias otherwise will be arreste­d, activists say.

Last May, hundreds of fighters left Barz­eh heading Idlib province as part of an ­evacuation deal reached with the regime ­which was the first evacuation from Dama­scus in the country's six-year war.
Barzeh, near the rebel-held Eastern Ghou­ta district of towns and farms, has been­ the site of intense fighting between re­bels and the regime army in recent month­s
