The Syrian army has reportedly moved east of Aleppo after Kurdish forces withdrew from the area. This shift comes as part of the ongoing conflict in northern Syria, where various factions have been vying for control.
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) had previously been in control of the city of Manbij and surrounding areas. However, following the recent Turkish military operation in the region, the SDF made the decision to withdraw from these areas. This move paved the way for the Syrian army to enter the area, including the strategic town of Manbij.
The Syrian government has expressed its intention to reassert control over all of its territory, including areas in the northeast that have been under the control of the SDF. The Kurdish forces, on the other hand, have been facing pressure from Turkey and have been seeking to secure their position in the region.
This development marks a significant shift in the dynamics of the conflict in northern Syria. The presence of the Syrian army in the area could potentially complicate the situation further, especially given the complex web of alliances and rivalries at play.
It remains to be seen how this latest development will impact the various parties involved in the conflict and what the future holds for the region as a whole.
