Assad on the defensive: Aleppo falls, people on the run!

Kramatorsk, Ukraine - Last weekend the situation in Syria was re -evaluated. A surprising alliance of Islamist militias has taken control of the majority of Aleppo within a very short time. This represents a significant turn in decades of conflict, since many people return from the region and perceive the change of power as a kind of liberation from the Syrian regime under President Bashar al-Assad. At the same time, many Kurds are alerted and are looking for refuge in the areas of the Kurds in northeastern Syria. These developments were both from Cityreport href = "https://www.daserste.de/information/politik-weltschehen/weltspiegel/sendung/syrien-assad-aleppo-100.html"> The first reports.

The offensive and the reaction of Assads

While the Islamist alliance continues to south to Damascus, the Syrian government reacts with air strikes to cities such as Idlib and Aleppo. These military actions and increasing instability make the situation in the region even more critical. Many people wonder how it goes on for the civilian population and what security perspectives there are under the current conditions.

The offensive of Islamist militias and the military reactions of Assad and its Russian allies show that the structure of power in Syria changes faster than many analysts expected. The questions that arise now have an impact on the entire geopolitical landscape of the region, although it remains unclear whether there can be a stable peace or whether there are further conflicts.
