Hope returns to eastern Aleppo after devastating siege by Assad's forces
Saturday, 21 December 2024 () Syrian and Russian forces unleashed all they could on eastern Aleppo. For four years they battled to bring Syria's second city under Bashar al Assad's full control.
A deadly ambush near Syria's Mediterranean port of Tartous resulted in 14 interior ministry personnel killed and 10 injured. The attack was attributed to loyalists of ousted President Bashar al-Assad. It occurred during an operation to apprehend a former officer linked to the notorious Saydnaya prison. Three loyalists also lost their lives in the clash. This comes weeks after rebel forces led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) ousted Assad, ending decades of family rule. HTS promised to protect minorities but faces global designation as a terrorist group. Tensions continue to rise across the country.

Turkish President Erdoğan has issued a stark warning to Kurdish militants in Syria, demanding they lay down their arms or face being "buried" in Syrian soil. This comes amidst escalating tensions with the YPG militia, part of the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which Turkey views as linked to the PKK, a terrorist organization. Erdoğan also announced plans to open a consulate in Aleppo and expects increased border traffic as Syrian migrants begin returning. These developments underscore the evolving political landscape in Syria following Bashar al-Assad's departure.

In this powerful statement, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov defends Syria’s sovereignty, emphasizing the importance of unity despite challenges from the U.S. and Turkey. Lavrov argues that Syria must remain unified and strong against external pressures, including U.S. occupation of key oil regions and Turkey's security concerns along its border. Lavrov also discusses Russia’s commitment to dialogue with Syria’s new authorities and criticizes Western interference, which he deems as diplomatic crudeness. This is a bold stance on Syria's future and its relationship with global powers.
