Syrian government and SDF reach agreement on comprehensive ceasefire

Syrian Defense Minister Abu Kasra announced that a comprehensive ceasefire has been agreed between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

The agreement was announced after a meeting between Abu Kasra and SDG leader Mazloum Abdi.

It is noted that the new agreement will enter into force immediately.

Recent clashes between the two sides have overshadowed a landmark agreement signed in March between the SDF and the Syrian government, which envisages the integration of regional armed forces into state institutions.
