Aleppo on Brink of Totalitarian Regime After Kurdish Withdrawal.
The Syrian army is firmly entrenched in areas east of Aleppo, with troops advancing towards Deir Hafer after a withdrawal by the Kurdish forces.
In recent days, tensions have escalated between President Ahmed al-Sharaa's government and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The US has been mediating talks between the two sides in an effort to integrate SDF fighters into national institutions.
The Syrian president recently announced he would make Kurdish a national language and recognize their New Year as an official holiday, marking a significant shift towards greater Kurdish rights.
However, disagreements over implementation linger. Kurdish forces have accused Syria of violating the terms of the agreement, with two soldiers reportedly killed by Kurdish fighters during military operations in Deir Hafer.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains unclear whether this new development will mark the beginning of an era of greater cooperation between Syrian and Kurdish forces or plunge Aleppo further into conflict.
