Al-Wafideen (Syria) (AFP) - Evacuations of rebels and civilians from the last opposition pocket in Syria's Eastern Ghouta stalled on Thursday as divisions continued within the Islamist faction that holds the area, state media said. A convoy of 20 buses organised by the government had entered the former rebel bastion's main town of Douma to prepare for a fourth day of evacuations but later pulled back to the town's outskirts, an AFP correspondent said. Syria's state news agency SANA said the buses left Douma due to "differences between" rebels and "in order to let them sort out by themselves these differences".
