Answer:
1. Retaking of Aleppo
About 12 million people were displaced due to the turmoil in eastern Aleppo. The four year battle between Syrian rebels and forces backed by Bashar-al-Assad's government to wrest control of the city, initially tilted in favour of the Opposition, and Assad’s Alawite-dominated government lost extensive territory to rebel groups.
However, the tables turned in July 2016, when government troops closed the rebels' last supply line into Aleppo with the support of Russian airstrikes. They followed this up with a decisive campaign in November, that resulted in the recapture of all of Aleppo the following month.
On December 15, residents along with rebel forces were allowed to evacuate the city. Even as Aleppo fell, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) recaptured Palmyra from Syria and Russian troops. The crisis lingers on.
