Rebels seek ceasefire with syrian army closer to retaking aleppo
According to recent reports, rebels in eastern Aleppo are seeking a ceasefire with the Syrian government army in order to facilitate the evacuation of civilians and wounded from the besieged city. This development comes as the Syrian army, backed by Russian airstrikes, is making significant gains in its push to retake the city from rebel forces.
The rebels, who are primarily made up of extremist groups such as Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (formerly al-Nusra Front) and Ahrar al-Sharqiya, have been under intense pressure from the Syrian army and its allies in recent weeks. Despite this, they have continued to resist, and the city remains a key battleground in the ongoing conflict.
The proposed ceasefire is seen as a last-ditch effort by the rebels to avoid further bloodshed and to allow civilians to escape the city. The Syrian government, however, has been cautious in its response, and it remains to be seen whether a ceasefire can be agreed upon.
The situation in Aleppo is dire, with reports of widespread destruction, civilian casualties, and shortages of food, water, and medical supplies. The city has been under siege for months, and the humanitarian situation is becoming increasingly desperate.
The international community has been vocal in its condemnation of the Syrian government's actions in Aleppo, with many countries calling for an immediate ceasefire and the evacuation of civilians. The United Nations has also been working to facilitate a ceasefire and the delivery of humanitarian aid to the city.
In the meantime, the Syrian army continues to make gains on the ground, and the rebels are facing increasing pressure. The outcome of the conflict in Aleppo remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the situation is dire, and the international community must continue to push for a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
