The Syrian army has been fighting Kurdish forces in the city of Aleppo in the north of the country. The clashes are the most intense since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024. The army ordered the residents in some neighborhoods to evacuate. On Friday, Syria’s defense ministry announced a ceasefire. But as The World’s Shirin Jaafari reports, residents say the violence and displacement is bringing back memories of years of civil war.
