 Two military parades were held by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) on Tuesday in Syria’s third largest city Homs, one of the first cities to rise up against government forces back in 2011.

One parade was organized in the northwestern Al-Waer suburb which had its last rebel militants evacuated last week.

Footage and pictures of the event can be seen below:

Moreover, a second parade took place the same day in downtown Homs after Russian experts were done training a new batch of SAA engineers at the Demining Training Facility.

All of the 36 neighborhoods of Homs city are now under the control of the government for the first time since early 2011.

With Aleppo also liberated, this has freed up over 50,000 troops for frontlines elsewhere, thereby explaining how the SAA has progressed on virtually all frontiers in recent weeks.
