Syria Extends Ceasefire with Kurdish Forces for 15 More Days, Buys Time to Negotiate with Damascus
The fragile truce between Syria's government and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) has been extended by 15 days, a development that could ease tensions in the northeast of the country and provide more time for negotiations with Damascus. The deal is part of US efforts to transfer thousands of ISIL prisoners out of Syria.
According to sources, the truce aims to reduce violence in the region and create an environment conducive to implementing a long-standing agreement between Damascus and the Kurdish-led forces. The extension of the ceasefire has been welcomed by both parties, who see it as a crucial step towards finding a lasting solution to the conflict.
The truce is seen as a critical component of US-led efforts to dismantle ISIL in Syria. With thousands of prisoners still held in detention centers across the country, the agreement represents a significant step forward in the process of returning them to their homes and reintegrating them into society.
As tensions in the region remain high, the extension of the ceasefire provides a welcome respite for communities caught in the conflict. The fragile peace could serve as a precursor to more substantial agreements between Damascus and the Kurdish-led forces, paving the way for a more durable resolution to the crisis.
The 15-day extension is seen as a temporary reprieve, but one that buys time for both parties to engage in meaningful negotiations. With the fate of thousands of prisoners hanging in the balance, any breakthrough could have far-reaching consequences for the region and beyond.
For now, however, the ceasefire remains in place, offering a glimmer of hope in a conflict that has ravaged Syria for years. As talks between Damascus and the Kurdish-led forces continue, all eyes are on whether this fragile truce can be converted into a lasting peace.
