SDF and Syrian Government Reach Comprehensive Agreement to End Hostilities in Northeastern Syria

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Syrian government have reached a comprehensive agreement aimed at ending years of hostilities and integrating military, security, and administrative structures in Western Kurdistan, also known as northeastern Syria.

According to details released by the SDF, the agreement includes a full ceasefire between the two sides and the withdrawal of military forces from current points of contact, marking a significant step toward stabilizing the region after prolonged conflict.

Under the security arrangements, forces from Syria’s Interior Ministry are set to enter the centers of Hasakah and Qamishlo. At the same time, a process will begin to integrate the region’s internal security forces, known as the Asayish, into the official state security framework.

On the military level, the agreement provides for the formation of a new division composed of three SDF brigades, along with a special brigade drawn from forces based in Kobani. This new division will operate within the military structure of Aleppo province.

The accord also addresses administrative and civil governance, placing institutions affiliated with the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES) under the authority of official Syrian state institutions. Civil servants currently employed under the autonomous administration are expected to continue their duties within the new administrative framework.

A key component of the agreement includes provisions related to civil and educational rights for the Kurdish population, as well as guarantees facilitating the return of internally displaced persons (IDPs) to their areas of origin.
