RABAT, December 11. /TASS/. Syria’s armed opposition has lifted a curfew imposed in Damascus and the surrounding areas, the Al Jazeera TV channel reported.

"We urge our citizens to return to their jobs and work together with us, contributing to building a new Syria," the department of military operations said.

In late November, armed opposition forces launched a large-scale offensive on the Syrian army’s positions and entered Damascus on December 8, while government troops withdrew from the capital. A curfew was imposed in Damascus. Bashar Assad stepped down as Syrian president and left the country, handing down instructions to ensure a peaceful transition of power.
