During Fatal Confrontations, Syria’s Kurdish Fighters Decide to Withdraw from Aleppo

Following days of fighting government forces in Aleppo, Syria’s Kurdish militants said on Sunday that they had decided to leave the city under a truce. Syria’s military reportedly concluded operations in the Kurdish-held Sheikh Maqsud neighborhood hours earlier. According to state television, Kurdish militants who turned themselves in were being transported by bus to the north. Ashrafiyeh, Aleppo’s other Kurdish-held neighborhood, has already been declared over by the military.

Kurdish forces had established a de facto autonomous government over large portions of the north and northeast, much of which had been taken during the 14-year civil war, and had taken control of parts of Aleppo, Syria’s second largest city.

After talks to incorporate the Kurds into the nation’s new government faltered, the most recent conflicts broke out.
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said in a statement, “We reached an understanding that led to a ceasefire and secured the evacuation of the martyrs, the wounded, the trapped civilians and the fighters from Ashrafiyeh and Sheikh Maqsud neighborhoods to northern and eastern Syria.
