Caerus worked with local research teams in Aleppo from September 2013 to January 2014 to conduct a four-month hyper local assessment of the conflict in the city. This included a monthly survey of 561 residents and bi-weekly assessments of checkpoints and bakeries. The goal was to understand Aleppo’s urban security and the humanitarian impacts of the conflict. Here are ten insights based on a detailed understanding of conflict dynamics in Aleppo. These findings illustrate Syria’s urbanized conflict and reveal the strategies of control employed by the Syrian government and armed opposition. Together, they help inform our understanding of the Syrian conflict, of urban public safety, and of humanitarian dynamics in civil war.
