Syrians, from various western districts, wait on a bus at the Razi bus stop in Aleppo's central Jamiliyeh neighbourhood before the start of a bus trip through government-held territory between the two sides of the divided city on December 3, 2016 as the pro-government forces seized 60 percent of the former rebel stronghold in east Aleppo. For much of the past four years, taking a bus between the two sides of Syria's divided second city Aleppo meant an arduous, and sometimes dangerous, 10-hour road trip. But on December 3, 2016, the trip that brings back residents back to their abandoned homes, took just half an hour, as buses travelled directly from the government-held west to recently recaptured neighbourhoods in the east.
