English teacher Abdulkafi saw his father for the first time in years on Monday .

He said his father never dreamed he would see him again before he died.

He is one of several people inside Aleppo who have spoken to the BBC since the city was captured by rebels.

They described being treated with respect by HTS fighters and increased supplies of electricity and water.

But also spoke of their fears at war returning to Aleppo and distrust that the rebel group’s professed moderation would last.

A Syrian opposition leader abroad said that rebels taking control of Aleppo also paves the way for Syrians displaced within the country and up to 600,000 in neighbouring Turkey to eventually return home.

Abdulkafi , who lives in the HTS-controlled city of Al-Dana in Idlib , said that minorities had nothing to fear from the group.
