Kurdish self-administration in northeast Syria
The Kurdish question is the deepest unresolved contest inside Syria. SDF-Damascus ceasefires in January 2026 produced temporary calm; permanent settlement requires resolving three incompatible demands: Kurdish federalism, Damascus central authority, and Turkish security guarantees. Western framing tends to side with the SDF as a democratic experiment and ISIS-jailer; Turkish state media frames the SDF as PKK in another uniform; pro-Damascus framing calls SDF a separatist project backed by foreign powers.
