Syrian government and Kurdish forces agree on integration deal

What happened: The Syrian government has reached an agreement with Kurdish-led forces to gradually integrate Kurdish military and administrative bodies into the state framework.

Why it matters:

  • This could change the power dynamics in northern Syria, affecting local governance and security.
