The Syrian army and Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF, have taken part in clashes in Aleppo city this week.
The violence reflects a deep rift between the two sides, and many rounds of talks have so far failed to reach common ground.

But the government in Damascus wants to centralise power.
So, what does it all mean for Syria’s unity?
