The US has praised Syria's agreement to integrate the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into its state institutions, following a significant deal that grants the Syrian central government control over the northeastern region. This agreement, viewed as pivotal following the fall of President Bashar al-Assad, includes commitments to ceasefire, support against pro-Assad fighters, and guarantees for Kurdish rights and citizenship. As concerns about violence against minorities rise, the US emphasizes a political transition focusing on substantive governance as essential for stability.
We will continue to watch the decisions made by the interim authorities, noting with concern the recent deadly violence against minorities.
The deal includes a ceasefire in all of Syria, SDF support in combating pro-Assad fighters, and an affirmation that the Kurdish people are integral to Syria.
