"The announcement on Thursday comes after the final convoy of US soldiers and equipment departed Qasrak air base, ending a military presence that began in 2014 when US forces entered the fight against ISIL alongside Kurdish fighters."
"Syria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates welcomed the completed handover of the bases, saying it reflected the government's efforts to bring the country under a single state authority."
"US Central Command stated that US forces have completed turning over all of our major bases in Syria as part of a deliberate and conditions-based transition."
The final convoy of US soldiers and equipment has departed Qasrak air base in Hasakah, Syria, completing the handover of military sites to the Syrian government. This transition reflects the integration of Kurdish-led fighters into national structures. Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa met with senior SDF figures to discuss the handover, which was coordinated with the US. The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the transfer, emphasizing efforts to unify control over the country, particularly in border areas previously outside Damascus's authority.
