The SNA's operation “Dawn of Freedom” aims at ousting the government and the SDF from Aleppo governorate. As mentioned above, the collaboration between the SAA and the SDF has become essential for the survival of both in the region. It is neither a “Kurdish invasion” nor “a ‘democratic’ liberation of Aleppo” but the result of a common danger: a rebellious collation of terrorist groups and in turn the projection of Turkish interference in northern Syria.
