Aleppo in the focus: rebel offensive brings new hope for peace!

Aleppo, Syrien - in Aleppo, the second largest city of Syria, the political conditions have changed dramatically. According to the relief organization "Christians in Need", there have been no attacks against religious or ethnic minorities since the takeover of power by the Islamist rebel alliance HTS. "As doctors, they immediately get what is happening in the city in the hospital," report Christian doctors on site. This indicates that the security situation is relatively stable, even if there have been occasional looting and revenge files. However, the new leadership tries to control the situation quickly. The return of people to the city would generally be possible, but there is an acute lack of resources, especially in the medical field. The oversupply situation is catastrophic, according to the relief organization.

rebel offensive brings chaos

The rebels, led by the Islamist HTS, have taken control of Aleppo in a very short time. This is surprising for the government troops of President Bashar al-Assad, since the fights in Syria recently seemed calm compared to the past years. The United States and experts step in HTS as a terrorist organization, and the group has a number of ten thousand fighters under their command. The offensive not only indicates the ongoing conflict, but also shows the weakness of the Syrian government and its allies, which are currently involved in other conflicts, such as Russia's military activities in Ukraine.

The meaning of Aleppo lies not only in its economic role as the most important node of Syria, but also in the symbolic power associated with the control of the city. The loss of Aleppo to the rebels could again dramatically change the political landscape of the civil war and continue the hopes of long -term stability in the region, as well as stern.de reported. The reference to the ongoing threat from these militant groups shows how fragile peace remains in Syria, while the conditions in Aleppo continue to change.
