Syrian government forces entered the last districts of Aleppo outside their control after the evacuation of Asayish forces and thousands of civilians from the enclave during the 6:15-7:15 p.m. UTC window on Jan. 11, according to an X post by Suriyakmaps. Numerous civilians faced arrest on collaboration charges, with reports of insults, denigration, and extrajudicial executions over the following hours. Suriyakmaps provided a map illustrating the situation in Aleppo as of Jan. 11, 2026, confirming the entry into previously uncontrolled districts post-evacuation. These developments follow the earlier arrival of Asayish commander Ziad Halab's body in Kobani for burial and the Kurdish Red Crescent's evacuation of nearly 100 injured from Sheikh Maqsoud, as reported in prior windows by journalists Wladimir van Wilgenburg and Hebun Or. Urgent negotiations between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Syrian government, mediated by the United States, began for implementing the March Agreement, per an X post by BarracudaVol1 during the reporting window. Government conditions include opening roads for army entry into the Jazira region, abolishing SDF compulsory service, incorporating SDF forces into the Ministry of Defense, and dissolving YPG and YPJ units seen as PKK extensions. The talks proceed under fire without a ceasefire, with SDF leadership divided and the government threatening military enforcement of the "one army, one country" principle if demands are rejected, according to BarracudaVol1. Separately, SDF/YPG forces attempted infiltration into the Peace Spring operation area from Tel Abyad in the west and Ayn Issa in the south, as stated by the same X account over the past hour. These events build on Syrian forces' prior seizures of SDF ammunition depots in Sheikh Maqsoud, including underground stockpiles under Al-Hassan Mosque, and ongoing demining operations, as reported by QalaatAlMudiq in earlier windows on Jan. 11.
