⚡️Aleppo-Update: Threat of Ethnic Cleansing & People’s Resistance

The so-called Syrian Arab Army (controlled by HTS) has declared Ashrafiye & Sheikh Maqsoud military zones & issued an ultimatum to the population to leave the besieged districts by 3 p.m. through one of two designated corridors.

This is a call to carry out ethnic cleansing: Anyone remaining is considered “SDF” and therefore a legitimate target.

It is important to note that the SDF withdrew from these districts in accordance with the April 1 agreement with the Syrian Transitional Government (STG). The STG, however, has repeatedly violated the agreement and attacked these districts.

Fighting continues, initial tank-supported attempts to breach the neighborhoods have been repelled.

Demonstrations in support of the resistance in Aleppo have taken place in many cities in NES. The morale of the youth defending the neighborhoods is high, and as SDF Commander Sîpan Hemo said, Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiye are "unbreakable fortresses of resistance"
