Summary:
Several thousand Syrian Kurds protested in Qamishli on January 13, 2026, against the recent expulsion of Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) fighters from Aleppo following deadly clashes. The fighting in Aleppo lasted five days, resulting in at least 23 deaths and the displacement of over 150,000 people from Kurdish-controlled areas. The conflict highlights tensions between Kurdish groups, who seek recognition and constitutional rights, and President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s government, which aims to unify Syria under Islamist leadership. Syria’s defense ministry declared the eastern parts of Aleppo, still under SDF control, a closed military zone, heightening concerns of wider conflict in the region.
