US EditionSyrian Government and Kurdish-Led SDF Agree Ceasefire and Integration Deal
The deal ends weeks of fighting and includes creating new brigades with SDF fighters and merging local Kurdish administration into the Syrian state, officials said.
- The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces announced on Friday a new agreement with the Syrian government, which Syrian authorities confirmed to Reuters as a step to stabilize a pause in fighting.
- Syrian government forces, after taking swathes of territory in recent weeks, seized most of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces' land following intense Jan. 6 clashes and a stalled March merger agreement.
- The agreement creates three Syrian army brigades from SDF units, embeds an SDF brigade within a government brigade in Aleppo province, and deploys Syrian Ministry of Interior forces to Hasakeh, Qamishli, and Kobane.
- With the ceasefire extended, the agreement deals a blow to Kurdish hopes for self-rule and confines them to Kurdish-majority areas, according to sources.
- Amid efforts by Syria's new authorities to extend state control, the U.S. pushed both sides to make a deal this month and moved closer to Damascus under interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa.
