The opposition media stress that the Homs district is on the brink of descending into systematic demographic transformation engineered by the Syrian regime, as has been the case in cities such as Daraya, Al-Qusayr and Eastern Aleppo, all of which have previously been besieged and ultimately evacuated. 
Kituo cha Habari cha Upinzani kinasisitiza kuwa miji ya Homs ipo kwenye hatari ya kuangukia kwenye mpango maalum wa kuhamisha wakazi unaoratibiwa na serikali ya Syria, kama ilivyokuwa kwenye majiji ya Daraya, Al-Qusayr na Aleppo Mashari, ambapo majiji yote yalizingirwa na majeshi na baadae kukimbiwa na wakazi.
