1 year after the fall of the Assad-regime, many have hoped for a better and peaceful new-Syria. Former ISIS emir and head of Al Qaida in Syria, Ahmad al Sharaa better known as Jolani has taken over the throne of Syria. Nothing has changed - the Syrian administration has declared the Kurdish neighbourhoods in Aleppo a warzone and more than 80 armoured vehicles and tanks have been deployed to storm the Kurdish neighbourhoods in Aleppo. A war of extermination against the Kurdish people in Syria. Once again, the civilians in Syria have been turned into refugees. Jolani wears a suit now but he can’t resist the urge to order the slaughter of people.

Daily Update | January 7, 2026 The death toll from shelling carried out by factions affiliated with the Damascus government on the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods in Aleppo has risen to 7 civilians killed and 52 injured, according to non-final figures, amid ongoing bombardment involving tank fire and drone strikes. At the same time, the two neighborhoods remain under full siege, with these factions blocking the entry of food, medical supplies, and essential goods, further worsening humanitarian conditions and endangering the lives of thousands of civilians. Field reports also indicate the deployment of more than 80 tanks and heavy military vehicles around the two neighborhoods, a development seen as a serious warning sign of a potential large-scale escalation, raising concerns over the outbreak of a wider conflict, amid continued international silence.
