The Kurdish Didan Al-Barazi Tribe rejected separatist projects targeting Syria's territorial unity, stated that terrorist PKK-SDF militias do not represent the Kurds, and affirmed its support for the Syrian government, according to a statement shared on X by @omar_alharir between 1:46 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. UTC on January 14, 2026. The tribe's announcement, hashtagged with Syria and Aleppo, was posted during the 59-minute reporting window ending at 2:45 p.m. UTC today. Verify-Sy fact-checked a claim that Egyptian father Ahmed Al-Mansour disowned his son for appearing in a clip showing the throwing of a female fighter's body in Aleppo's Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood, deeming it misleading, as detailed in a report on verify-sy.com and an X post by @VeSyria in the same period. The platform noted the video is old, published in response to Al-Mansour's prior clip criticizing Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and the regime, and highlighted feature differences casting doubt on the man's identity. In southern Deir ez-Zor, Syrian security forces recovered a 2-ton high-voltage aluminum busbar looted near Mayadin and arrested a gang for stealing electrical generators, per an X post by @QalaatAlMudiq during the reporting window. The gang confessed to taking at least 27 generators from the Tayyem Oil Field, with most recovered while investigations continue to find the rest.
