The Syrian government signs a breakthrough in an agreement with the forces led by Kurdski

The militia under the guidance of Kurdska, which controls northeastern Syria, agreed on Monday to merge with the new government of the country, which marked a major breakthrough for Damascus in its efforts to unite the country that still struggles violent restlessness.

The agreement, announced by the Syria Presidency Office and signed both parties, has determined that the Syrian democratic forces that support the US will integrate “all civil and military institutions” to the new Syrian state by the end of the year, including the appreciated oil and gas fields.

The deal also invited the SDF to help Damascus fight the remains of the Assad regime and emphasized “the rights of all Syrians on the representation and participation in the political process,” in the midst of the promise of a new Syrian leadership to form a involveable government after years of sectative conflict.

Time of an agreement, which came in the middle Violent conflicts in the Syrian coastal region who left more than 1300 people dead, signaled the moment of returning to the new temporary President Syria, Ahmed al-Shara.

Since the rebel coalition led by Mr. Al-Shara demolished the dictator Bashara Al-Assad in December, the new government sought to combine a complex network of rebel groups that operated throughout Syrian are the most powerful forces of Kurdish guided on the northeast of the Northeast. However, the security situation remained unstable and the Kurdish militia was among the most challenging Groups that will bring under the fold of the new government.

The new Syrian government has ordered all armed groups in the country to burst, and in recent weeks several distinguished militia has agreed to work with new authorities, but it remains unclear if all these militia are still fully integrated into one national army under the rule of Mr. Al-Shara.

Remains skepticism about the promises of a new leadership Create an inclusive government. As a rebel leader, Mr. Al-Shara commanded an armed group united with Al Qaeda, and the skeptics asked whether he had renounced his former hard jihadist views.

For years, the militia under the guidance of Kurda has been a major American partner in the fight in Syria against the Islamic State, and this has brought difficult territorial gains in the middle of the civil war, to the extent that the de facto state in northeast Syria is now governed.

The group has long sought to position itself as the patron saint of Syrian Kurds, which make up about 10 percent of the country’s population. Also Provides security in detention camps In the accommodation of thousands of members of the Islamic State and their families.

But due to the increasing uncertainty about Washington’s role in the region, experts said that the Kurdish guided forces probably recognized their negotiating position. US support to the Kurdish militia was crucial to his finances, but President Trump has not yet undertaken to continue to support the group on which the United States spent $ 186 million 2024.

Despite the breakthrough on Monday, there were questions that remained unanswered.

For one thing, it remains unclear whether the SDF will be allowed to act as a special military block within the Syrian armed forces, which is in recent negotiations of the healing that the Government has previously rejected. It was also unclear how exactly the “interruption of fire in all Syrian territories” would be called exactly as prescribed in the agreement.

Even in Monday, fighting continued anger In the northeast between the Kurdish forces and the armed groups supported by the Turkish, a close ally and the supporter of the new government in Damascus.

Turkey has long viewed the SDF as an extension of the Kurdish separatist rebels within Turkey who fought against the Turkish state for four decades, but who recently announced that they will Give up that struggle. In the midst of dramatic changes in the Syrian political landscape, many Kurds became upset about the possibility of ending up worse under the Government supported by their longtime enemy, Turkey.

But as soon as the news of the agreement fell apart, people in northeast Syria gathered on the streets, shooting in the air in the celebration. He was particularly liberated by the agreement-the Arabs in the region were led by the Kurda, who took care of months that their area could be attacked not only from Turkey and its mediators, but also from the central government.

“I am very happy about the agreement between Damascus and the SDF, but we want to be sure that Damascus guarantees our rights,” said Faisal Ahmed, 40, Arab, who was sitting drinking tea in the northeast city of Qamishli.

Like many who live in northeast Syria and were happy about the news, he said that the lack of clarity in connection with specifics left uncertain about who would keep the area from the Turkish attack.

“If Damascus is serious about friends, then they should prevent Turkish groups from attacking us,” he said.

Naleen Mohammed, 35, Kurd, said she welcomed the announcement, especially now that the restlessness wrapped up the coastal region of Syria, the heart of Alawit in the country, another minority group. Alaviti played a leading role in the Assad regime and were afraid of retaliation since he fell.

“It’s very good to have a deal with Damascus – much better than fighting them,” she said. “We see what happens in Latakia with Alawita, they kill people and we don’t want this to happen in our area.”
