Damascus, Dec 10 (SocialNews.XYZ) Syria's militant forces that have taken control of Damascus announced a general amnesty for all army personnel conscripted into mandatory service.
In a statement, the militant forces' Military Operations Department declared, "We grant amnesty to all army conscripts under mandatory service. They are guaranteed safety, and any aggression against them is prohibited."

Further details about the amnesty or its impact were not immediately clear.
In a stunning turn of events on Sunday, militant forces in Syria seized the capital Damascus and declared the end of Assad's rule, following a rapid offensive that saw major Syrian cities falling like dominos within less than two weeks.
