Inside a Syrian 'reconciliation centre' where Assad's soldiers give up their weapons
On the night of 6 December, Mohammed el-Nadaf, a soldier in the Syrian army, was at his position in Homs.
As rebels led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) pushed into the city, days after they had seized control of Aleppo and Hama in a lightning offensive, Mohammed decided he didn't want to fight.
"We had no orders, no information. I took off my uniform, left my weapons, and started to make my way to my village in Tartous," he said.
At around the same time, Mohammed Ramadan was at a position on the outskirts of the capital, Damascus.
