(MENAFN) Rebels in Aleppo have told the United States they will not leave their besieged enclave in the city after Moscow called for talks with Washington over their withdrawal, signalling they will fight on even as their top commander was wounded.
IN detail, Fastaqim rebel faction official Zakaria Malahifji said groups fighting in Aleppo told US officials on Saturday they would not leave the city.
The US officials had asked the rebels "do you want to leave, do you want to be steadfast," Malahifji said.
"Our response to the Americans was as follows: 'We cannot leave our city, our homes, to the mercenary militias that the regime has mobilised in Aleppo'."
