Peace Talks in Aleppo

A ceasefire is agreed in Aleppo. This happened after fighting. Syrian government forces and the SDF fought. The agreement was made on Monday. It will stop problems. The SDF must join the Syrian army.

Fighting happened in two places. Sadly, two people died. Others were hurt. The fighting started because of a plan. The SDF must join the army by March 2025. This plan is old. Not much has happened. This made people worry.

The Turkish Foreign Minister visited. He did not think the SDF would keep its word. Experts think the SDF and governments have different goals. Thomas McGee studies Syria. He said the goals are very different. He does not see an agreement.

The Syrian Ministry of Defence told soldiers to stop firing. The SDF also said not to fight back. But they had a similar agreement before. This means these are short solutions. Some people think the SDF wants more time.

The SDF controls a big area. If they do not join the army, more fighting could happen. The peace in Aleppo is not very strong. It could break again.
