The Free Syrian Army (FSA), a rebel coalition backed by Turkey in northern Syria, has announced the initiation of a four-day ceasefire in the vicinity of Manbij, located northeast of Aleppo. The ceasefire, which commenced at 5 p.m. local time on Thursday and is scheduled to last until Monday, aims to de-escalate tensions in the region where the FSA has been engaged in conflict with the predominantly Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
As per the FSA, the terms of the agreement include the withdrawal of the SDF from Manbij city and its surrounding areas, with control to be handed over to a local council. Emphasizing the significance of all parties honoring the ceasefire, the FSA underscores the need for maintaining security and stability in the region during this period.
