Damascus weapon and Kurdish rights deal finalized
A report on the political agreement between Damascus and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) indicates that the agreement aims to restore government control over areas previously held by the SDF, including border crossings and oil and gas fields. The agreement involves integrating SDF fighters into the Syrian Defense and Interior Forces, with recognition of their linguistic and cultural rights. It also assigns Mullah Mohsen Abdi as an advisor to the Syrian president. Discussions suggest that the agreement reduces SDF's influence, transforming it from an independent force supported by the United States into part of the Syrian state, with non-binding American oversight. Challenges remain regarding ensuring permanent Kurdish rights and institutionalizing these rights into constitutional positions, which will be the key test for the agreement's long-term and sustainable implementation.
