Fierce fighting between Syrian government forces and the Kurdish-led SDF exposes the failure of a year-long plan to merge the two militaries
Fierce fighting in Syria's northern city of Aleppo between government forces and Kurdish fighters has driven thousands of civilians from their homes, with Washington reported to be mediating a de-escalation.
The violence, and statements trading blame over who started it, signalled that a stalemate between Damascus and Kurdish authorities that have resisted integrating into the central government was deepening and growing deadlier. Deadly clashes broke out on Tuesday between Syrian government troops and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
