Syrian Kurds reach a deal with Damascus government after feeling abandoned by the US

The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have reached an agreement with the government in Damascus. The deal involves integrating the SDF into the Syrian state's military structure.

This move comes after the Kurds reportedly felt disappointed and abandoned by their former ally, the United States. The agreement is seen as a major shift in the long-running Syrian conflict, where the Kurds had previously controlled significant territory in the country's northeast.
