The Turkish army has established a temporary base in a strategically important point of the newly captured al-Bab, located in northern Syria. 

A dozen Syrian rebel factions have suspended talks on new peace negotiations in the Kazakh capital of Astana, accusing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime of violating a four-day-old cease-fire with attacks near Damascus that continued on Jan. 3.

Although the Syrian armed opposition has lost its six-year war to declare Aleppo the “capital of the revolution” and the Syrian equation has changed drastically, the curtain is not yet down on this act of the bloody play.
