as aleppo falls to government (russia-backed) forces, the rebel (US-backed) groups operating in syria have no more major strongholds, painting a different picture to a possible peace in syria. russia and turkey have negotiated a ceasefire in the country between rebel groups and the government effective thursday. the truce will be guaranteed by both russia and turkey, but markedly excludes the united states and groups like CIA, both of which have influence over areas in syria.

whether this peace will last longer than the UN-brokered one will have to be seen.
