Syria's Conflict Reignites Amid Regional Turmoil and Rebel Resurgence

Turkey-backed jihadist groups, including Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, have taken control of Aleppo in Syria, endangering tens of thousands of Christians, Kurds, and other minorities. These groups, linked to Al-Qaeda and ISIS, have been accused of committing atrocities such as abductions and threats of mass executions. Turkey has supported these groups with military and financial aid, raising concerns about the safety of ethnic and religious minorities in the region. Calls for self-rule and protection for these communities are growing amid the ongoing conflict.
