Thousands return from Jordan to south Syria as ceasefire holds
Around 1,000 Syrians who sought refuge in Jordan have been returning home each month since July when a cease-fire for southern Syria took force, the U.N. said Monday.

The cease-fire brokered by Jordan, Russia and the United States for the southern Syrian provinces of Daraa, Quneitra and Suweida has largely held since it came into force on July 9.


Comment: Russia was the real broker in this deal; the United States became involved once ISIS had been defeated in Syria:

Since then "the number of Syrians returning to the country voluntarily has increased", Mohammed al-Hiwari, spokesman for the U.N. refugee agency (UNHCR) in Amman, told AFP.

"Today that number has risen to around 1,000 [returnee] per month on average," Hiwari added.

In the six months before the cease-fire, a total of only 1,700 Syrian refugees returned to their home country, he said.
