The Kurdish neighborhoods of Aleppo were calm but tense on Tuesday, following security unrest and clashes that broke out the previous night.
Earlier in the day, Nuri Sheikho, co-chair of the council of the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods in Aleppo, told North Press that residents of the two areas fear a repeat of the scenarios seen in the coastal region and in Suweida, after the recent security incidents that shook both neighborhoods.
According to a North Press correspondent, the Ashrafieh and Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhoods are currently calm, with shops and markets open and residents going about their daily routines normally.
Meanwhile, the state-run SANA news agency reported late Monday night that “an agreement has been reached to halt fire in the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods in the city of Aleppo.”
