Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) says it agreed under a ceasefire to withdraw from Aleppo after days of deadly clashes with government forces in the northern city.
Aleppo Governor Azzam al-Gharib tells Al Jazeera that Aleppo has become “empty of SDF fighters” after Syrian troops coordinated their withdrawal on buses overnight.
Dozens of people have been killed in the clashes, with more than 150,000 displaced.
Heavy fighting in Aleppo began on Tuesday in the predominantly Kurdish neighbourhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud, Ashrafieh and Bani Zaid amid tensions over a failure to implement a March 2025 agreement to reintegrate the Kurdish forces into state institutions.
