The UN Security Council will hold an emergency session on Tuesday at the request of the Syrian government, following a surprise attack by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham and armed factions in northern Syria.
The request was made by African council member states, including Algeria, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, and Guyana.
This meeting comes after a military escalation in northern Syria, where armed factions seized control of neighborhoods in Aleppo and several villages in the Idlib countryside.
