Current situation in Aleppo, Syria
The Story of an Eyewitness from Aleppo
Information about the current situation was sent from Aleppo. Of cause, it is not a General Staff report. It is what a real person sees right there.
Not everything is true here
In Djamiliya there is no fighting, but some seats of tension exist though. In new Aleppo everything is quite. Salahadin area is much smaller, almost two times. On the picture they combined two regions. It is more or less quite in the second region. There are no gunmen there. Seifetdoulya. After a heroic revolutionary night attack on the post office, the city was cleared off terrorist groups a couple of days ago.
There are gunmen between Sikkari and Salyahdin.
In Bustan al-Qasr terrorists burned down the police station. Sahur, Hanano, Heydari are hot spots. Civilians left them three days ago.They did not touch gunmen for several days. Now, Syrian army came and the operation began. There are no details yet. Gunmen entered these areas from the east. There are many of them. They easily entered and settled in a residential area. After that, almost all civilians left the city. Only those, who simply have no place to go, have stayed. Of cause, there is a chaos in the city. There are problems with bread and some other products. It is almost quite in the western part of the city. The eastern part of the city is a poor and densely populated area. Nothing is working where gunmen are. It is even impossible to come out to buy food. There are many cases when gunmen simply enter the apartments and give residents half an hour to pack and leave. But in most of the cases gunmen behave decently with civilians in order to gain trust.
It is still not clear how gunmen have entered the city so easily. There are many open questions remain. But there was no defense. It is a fact. May be they did not even wonder gunmen could simply enter the residential area? In the Arab media, there is nothing said about humanitarian catastrophe in the city after gunmen entered. There is propaganda that people meet their liberators almost with flowers. It is a lie. People run from them like from the plague.
