The Syrian government and SDF implement the terms of their agreement... What are the details?
The Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are executing their agreement, with SDF withdrawing troops from key areas in Hasakah.
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have begun withdrawing their troops from the front lines in the city of Hasakah in accordance with the agreement reached with the Syrian government. The withdrawal includes the SDF pulling back from positions in the Aabiad road in the southwest of Hasakah and from the Mlebiya area, redirecting their forces towards northern Hasakah regions such as Tel Kawkab, Minister's Rest, and Tel Baidar.
In conjunction with the SDF's movements, Syrian government forces are also withdrawing from their respective areas, including the Mlebiya and Aabiad road toward Al-Shaddadi city in southern Hasakah and the village of Umm Midhaf. This coordinated withdrawal marks a significant step towards the implementation of the agreement that seeks to maintain stability in the region amidst ongoing tensions.
This development raises questions about the future dynamics of power and control in northeastern Syria, as both parties navigate their relationship following a history of conflict. It could potentially pave the way for further negotiations or reinforce existing arrangements, depending on the success of this initial phase of troop withdrawals. The actions taken by both the SDF and the Syrian government hint at a willingness to cooperate, despite their past hostilities.
