Battle lines frozen in north-east Syria after US-brokered deal
A US-brokered deal has paused fighting between the Syrian government and the Kurdish-led SDF, with plans to integrate some SDF brigades into state forces. The SDF has lost much territory and resources to recent government advances; implementation details are sparse and a full rollout may take a month. Tensions remain: government troops are moving into Hasakah and Qamishli, protests continue in Kurdish and Arab areas, and many expect the SDF’s autonomous presence to weaken over time.
