Category: GLOBAL GOVERNMENT & ALLIANCES
Summary:
The Syrian government plans to hold new talks with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to discuss the integration of Kurdish civilian and military institutions into the central state. This follows a year-long dispute, a missed merger deadline at the end of 2025, and Syrian troops' seizure of territory from the SDF. While the sides signed a broad integration deal on January 18, details remain unresolved, and a ceasefire has been extended until February 8. The United States, Britain, France, and Germany welcomed the ceasefire extension and urged all parties to adhere strictly to the agreement and seek a permanent ceasefire.
