     Hmm, wonder if it may actually be true, that the longtime auxiliaries of Turkey's imperialist invasion have just been delaying until now a planned full mutiny over the racist rioting against Syrians in Turkey https://todon.eu/deck/@b9AcE/112715919928687706 in July then leading to a smaller mutiny among Turkey's auxiliaries and one of those groups being declared "dissolved" https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/113157827142369253 by Turkey in September?
     Maybe the Turkey's SNA has now decided to go back to being independent (while still full of "former" ISIL/Daesh) or, more likely then, declarre themselves to be under the rebranded regional al-Qaeda now?

     I don't know. Thought just struck me... not impossible.

     Reinforcements have reached the exclave Şêx Maqsud in Aleppo, which is a part of the autonomous North and East Syria (a.k.a. "Rojava") to defend the locals,
     while rebranded "former" al-Qaeda and imperialist invader Turkey's auxiliary "jihadist" forces known to contain many "former" ISIL/Daesh still wearing its insignia, keep conquering parts of Aleppo from crimes against humanity dictator al-Assad's regime:

     Statement from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) just now on the... "jihadist" conquest situation at Aleppo:
     ─────
     The plan of the attack on northwestern Syria has been devised by the Turkish occupation which intends to execute its schemes with the collaboration of the Al-Nusra Front. This attack is managed step by step by Turkey and to fully comprehend this process, it is crucial to see Turkey's role.
     The developments in northwestern Syria are sensitive, and we directly care about them and closely monitor them. Whatever happens, our national and moral priority remains the defense of our people and our regions. Therefore, we will intervene as necessary to defend our people.

     'Turkey Expresses Concern Over Northwest Syria Amid Gains by Turkish-Backed Factions

     In a statement, Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oncu Keçili said, “We are closely monitoring the recent developments in northwest Syria, as they directly concern Syria’s unity and territorial integrity.”
     [...]
     “Ensuring stability in Idlib and adjacent areas at the zero point of our border remains a critical issue for Turkey,” he said.

     As HTS and Turkish-backed factions consolidate their gains, Turkey’s statements of concern will likely be scrutinized for their apparent contradictions. The situation remains precarious, with the potential for further escalation in the coming days.'

     Noooo shit.
     Issuing a "we're concerned"-style statement regarding YOUR OWN "jihadist" forces going on a conquest in a city with about 2 million residents is... exceptionally nuts.

     The residents of the neighborhoods Şêx Maqsud and Eşrefiye which are of the autonomous North and East Syria ("Rojava") inside Halep/Halab/Aleppo self-organize to defend against the probable attack by Erdoğan's "jihadist" auxiliaries (out of which many still wear ISIL/Daesh-patches alongside Turkey's flag-patches after being having been in ISIL before joining Turkey's auxiliaries when ISIL was territorially defeated) and rebranded regional al-Qaeda, now conquering al-Addad's areas first.

     The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF, the alliance of autonomous North and East Syria, which includes YPJ and YPG) has also said they are prepared to defend if they are attacked, while since Şêx Maqsud and Eşrefiye are exclaves in Aleppo, that may be difficult.

     People now flee from areas of Halep/Halab/Aleppo held by bloody dictator al-Assad's regime as those are being conquered by imperialist invader Erdoğan's auxiliaries with rebranded "former" regional al-Qaeda,
     to instead get to the security of the neighborhoods Şêxmaqsud and Eşrefiye of the same city which are secured by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) of the autonomous North and East Syria (initially named "Rojava"):
