Abstract

The article focuses on Syria's deployment of security forces in Kurdish-controlled areas as part of a US-backed agreement aimed at integrating Kurdish groups with state institutions and regaining control over northeastern territories. Following a deal between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the government, police troops have entered cities like Hasakah and Qamishli, with plans for SDF forces to join the Interior Ministry. This agreement comes after previous conflicts and aims to unify the two sides amid ongoing violence and the presence of Islamic State detainees. The US has expressed support for this integration as a step toward stabilizing the region. [Extracted from the article]
