Daniel R. DePetris, National Interest: Is America Negotiating with the Islamic State?

For local forces on the frontline, negotiated population transfers are better than launching an assault against an enemy that is well dug-in and determined to die.

In the end .... it was their decision to make, and they decided that it would be best to see these ISIS fighters leave and hope that they do not come back.
