Syria, SDF Agree Ceasefire; Forces to Integrate

The Spin

The ceasefire agreement marks a pivotal moment where Syria reclaims sovereignty over its entire territory through peaceful integration. The deal ensures state control over critical resources like oil fields and border crossings while protecting employees from punitive measures. America's strong support demonstrates this represents genuine progress toward a unified Syria that defeats terrorism.

The SDF capitulated only after military pressure forced a retreat from nearly half its territory, abandoning hopes for decentralized governance. Hardliners prevented meaningful negotiation, leaving the Kurdish group no choice but to accept Damascus's authoritarian centralized model. This collapse creates dangerous instability that ISIS will exploit during the chaotic transition.
