The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said Sunday (January 11, 2026) that they agreed under a ceasefire to withdraw their fighters from the two districts they held in Aleppo after deadly clashes in the city.
“We reached an understanding that led to a ceasefire and secured the evacuation of the martyrs, the wounded, the trapped civilians and the fighters from Ashrafiyeh and Sheikh Maqsud neighbourhoods to northern and eastern Syria,” the SDF wrote in a statement.
Syria’s official SANA news agency reported that “buses carrying the last batch of members of the SDF organisation have left the Sheikh Maqsud neighbourhood in Aleppo, heading towards northeastern Syria.”
