Last Kurdish forces exit Aleppo following ceasefire agreement

What happened: Kurdish forces have withdrawn from Aleppo after a ceasefire deal was reached early Sunday, ending a week of intense fighting.

Why it matters:

  • The ceasefire may reduce violence and improve security in Aleppo.
  • Local civilians and combatants are directly affected by the change in control and potential stability.

MNN Take: The withdrawal marks a significant shift in control within Aleppo, reflecting ongoing efforts to de-escalate conflict in the region.
