The Kurds: An Overview

Syria’s government reached a ceasefire agreement with the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to unify the country, with the government taking over land held by the SDF. Despite ongoing gun battles reported by both sides, the Syrian Army is set to control three provinces from the SDF. The Kurds, a stateless ethnic group, have faced repression in Syria and other countries, with their grievances differing across the region due to historical conflicts and failed attempts to establish their own state.
