ISIL War in Iraq and Syria

[Marcus Aemilius Lepidus]

As media forgets about Aleppo evacuation, it turns out there were som 35 000 people rather than hundreds of thousands in Aleppo, according to united nations, http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.as...3#.WGEjy0p86rU .

While i appreciate your bringing up of the numbers we have to be honest about them. The 35k where the last remaining people. Those who stayed in the last quarters because they had no choice since they lived there or because they had connection with the rebels. Remember that those who came from Idlib in 2012 brought entire families with them which became citizens of Aleppo. It is true that there were never 250k people in Eastaleppo like it was always claimed, but in the following of the liberation up to 70k people fled in to kurdish or government held areas. So it was slightly over 100k people in the end and obviously many of those people were hold hostage by a minority.

Its a german source but they also say the rebels didn't told the truth and that there were actually 100k people in East Aleppo instead of the 300k claimed by opposition sources. It only showed that their propaganda worked since every major newspaper was bringing up that numbers for months. When i wrote that months ago, people were laughing at me...
