Qamishli

Qamishli is a northeastern Syrian city with significant Kurdish population, currently at the center of a fragile ceasefire between the Syrian government and Kurdish-led forces. The area has been a battleground for control over nearly a month, with recent developments including the deployment of Syrian forces under a US-backed agreement. The ceasefire aims to stabilize the region and pave the way for integrating Kurdish forces into the state. Recent events have highlighted lingering doubts in Washington about the new Syrian government's ability to ensure security, while the Syrian government seeks to assert its authority over the region. The situation remains volatile, with some Syrians feeling liberated by the army's push out of the Kurdish-led SDF, while others fear government troops.
