Aleppo Exodus: Another 'Tension' the West Helped Fuel
When Al Jazeera reports on 'tensions' in Aleppo leading to displacement, they conveniently gloss over the geopolitical architects. The Kurdish-led SDF, armed and backed by the U.S. in its fight against ISIS, effectively carved out an autonomous zone in Syria. This military support, while framed as counter-terrorism, directly contributed to the fragmentation of Syria and prolonged a civil war that
has displaced millions, including those now fleeing Aleppo. One might wonder if these 'rising tensions' aren't just the predictable aftermath of external actors funding and arming various factions for their own strategic ends. The humanitarian crisis is a feature, not a bug, of a policy that prioritizes regional influence over actual stability. How many times must Syrians flee before the
'international community' acknowledges its role in creating the very conditions it now piously reports on?
