The ongoing conflict in Aleppo may seem like a proxy war between Turkey-backed and Iran-backed groups, but the real danger lies in the systematic targeting of diverse cities like Aleppo. This war threatens its rich social fabric and pluralistic identity.
What’s even more alarming is the targeting of Kurdish IDP ["Internally Displaced People" ≈ internal refugees] camps and their regions, forcing further displacement. These actions deepen fractures in the region, endangering coexistence and the cultural mosaic of Syria’s most diverse city.
