TOPSHOT-SYRIA-CONFLICT-DARAA

TOPSHOT - Locals speak with Russian forces in the Syrian rebel-held Daraa al-Balad district of the southern city of Daraa on September 6, 2021 as they enforce a ceasefire between government forces and local committees as part of reconciliation efforts after several months of siege by government forces. A Russian-brokered ceasefire came into force on September 1 in Daraa province, the cradle of Syria's uprising where government forces have been battling holdout rebels. The southern province of Daraa, held for years by opposition forces, was returned to government control in 2018 under a previous Moscow-backed ceasefire that had allowed rebels to stay in some areas.
