About
Qamishli is a city in the northeastern Hasakah province of Syria, historically under Kurdish influence and control by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). It's newsworthy due to recent agreements and conflicts between the Syrian government and the SDF. After weeks of fighting and territorial losses for the SDF, a US-backed ceasefire deal was reached, leading to Syrian forces entering Qamishli to commence security duties. This agreement aims to integrate Kurdish forces into the Syrian state and establish a permanent truce, resolving tensions over Kurdish autonomy. The SDF has also withdrawn from the Al Hol camp, which holds thousands with alleged links to ISIS, during the conflict. The Syrian government's control of energy reserves previously held by the SDF, including those near Qamishli, is also significant for Syria's oil sector recovery. While some Syrians welcome the government's presence, others fear it, highlighting the complex and divided sentiments surrounding these developments.
