Syrian Interior Ministry Forces Deploy in Hasakeh

On February 2, forces from the Syrian Ministry of Interior entered Hasakeh, a city controlled by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), following a ceasefire agreement reached on January 30. This marks a significant step in reconciling differences between the SDF and the Syrian government. The deployment is seen as a test of cooperation in a mixed city with a history of conflict, including battles against ISIS. The Syrian government is also coordinating administrative appointments in the region, indicating a move towards integration of governance structures.
