Syrian rebels gain control in Aleppo and Hama, shifting civil war dynamics

The Syrian opposition’s control of Aleppo and Hama signifies a pivotal development in the ongoing civil war. With projections from the UN Food Agency indicating 1.5 million potential displacements, the conflict sees increased complexity. Meanwhile, Russia supports the Syrian government’s offensive, citing external aid to terrorist factions. The war, persisting since 2011, accounts for over 500,000 deaths and millions displaced.
