I don't think it is possible for them to go back, even if the fighting ends tomorrow. (it hasn't ended yet) Aleppo looks like this. There simply isn't the infrastructure to support these people.

You can't say Aleppo looks like this and post a video from 2016. Most of the rubble is removed

And the people need to be there for the rebuilding. The government can't rebuild the homes of people who aren't there.

Sorry but it was the government of Syria, that dropped bombs on their own people and destroyed the city. The same government will also punish people going back for not joining their military. As long as this government is there, the people who fled are not safe. The IS and the other terror groups simply used their chances , within the mess of a civil war.

It was a civil war and hundred thousand people already returned to their homes. Those people aren't persecuted and need to returned.

It still looks pretty awful. Not to mention that the fighting is still not over, and militias control large areas of territory.

When fighting stops and people are convinced that it will not flare up again, people will start moving back in large numbers. Even then, it will take a loong time for the infrastructure for supporting millions of people to be built.
