A Kurdish leader is sounding the alarm, warning that a confrontation between the Syrian army and the Kurdish-led forces could bring catastrophic consequences to the already besieged city of Aleppo. The region's key figure, Ahmad Suleiman, has called for immediate dialogue with both parties in an attempt to prevent a major disaster.
For its part, the Syrian army has announced plans to impose a curfew on Sheikh Maqsoud neighbourhood, one of the strongholds of the Kurdish-led forces. The military claims this is necessary to "maintain order" and quell potential instability in the area. However, residents are allowed to leave through an open humanitarian corridor until the curfew goes into effect.
The situation has left many fearful for their safety as they struggle under the weight of a protracted civil war. Suleiman's urgent call for dialogue is aimed at avoiding further escalation and safeguarding the lives of civilians in Aleppo.
Experts have long warned about the potential for violent clashes between government forces, rebel groups, and Kurdish fighters, each vying for control over territory in Syria. This could lead to devastating losses for innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
With the international community struggling to broker a lasting peace deal in Syria, Suleiman's warning highlights the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict. As Aleppo teeters on the brink of disaster, the world is watching anxiously, hoping that diplomatic efforts can be put into action before it's too late.
