This is a time of hope for the Kurdish people. The message of Abdullah Öcalan sparked expectations for a peace process and a possible road map for a democratization of Turkey. This also echoes in Syria, with renewed negotiations petween PYD and ENKS to make a joint Kurdish delegation to negotiate with Damascus. It seems that the years of denial of the Kurdish identiy, of assimilation and ocupation, may be reaching its end. The resistance of the Kurdish people against colonization, against the borders imposed by European colonizers in Middle East after the World war, against the assimilation and genocidal policies, seems to be growing ripe. But what does this mean at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century? The creation of a Kurdish state, dream of many Kurdish resistance movements from the last century, seems not possible in the current world order. In any case, the Abdullah Öcalan's proposal of Democratic Nation is also rejecting such path, deeply questioning the role of nation-states and their capacity to build a free life and a democratic society. </p><p>The negotiations with the provisional government of Damascus, when analyzed with an anarchist perspective, seem very discouraging. The new draft of the Syrian constitution is far away from the revolutionary dreams that brought us to Rojava. However, it is worth to not hurry with conclusions. <br>Many political organizations criticized the proposed constitutional draft, with strong opposition from the institutions of the DAANES as well as from the Druze community. The current political agreements and positions will influence all involved actors. From all years of civil war in Syria it can be expected that hegemonic state forces will use all opportunities to create more strife and chaos. It opens doors for them to step in, assert themselves as legitimate players and pursue their goals. The negotiations between SDF and the Provisional government can be considered with that reality in mind. Revolutionary Northeastern Syria asserts itself in all fields possible and shows itself as a legitimate and viable political actor. It takes the image of revolutionary system here far beyond the "allies who defeated ISIS", towards being seen as a model and a system to be implemented, or at least to be reckoned with. We also should distinguish political talks from ideological lines. ENKS-PYD agreement is a good example of that. This brings us to one of the lessons we as anarchists can find here. We observe that a revolutionary movement needs to have capacity of bringing various political actors to contribute to the liberatory changes. Skillful diplomacy of DAANES and SDF is a good example of this effort.</p><p>In the past we shared reflections on the challanges that HTS will face to assert itself as the new government of Syria. The recent wave of insurgency that shaked Latakia may be the extreme example of that. The occupations of Turkey in the north and Israel in the south, the unrest in Deir Ezzor, the claims for decentralization by the Druze community in the south and the Kurds in the north, are just examples of the challenges that the post-Assad Syria is facing. The DAANES is a proof of how a decentralized system in Syria is not only possible but necessary. Still, HTS will try to hold their grip on the newly captured central power in Damascus, navigating a dangerous balance of forces that can easily derail. If the diplomacy can't reach satisfactory solutions for all relevant actors, we know how easily (and how a fast) the tensions can escalate to new armed conflicts. </p><p>It is good to remember that the estimations of fighters of HTS before the offensive against the regime varied between 10.000 and 30.000 soldiers. At that time, the numbers of SNA were estimated between 30.000 and 80.000, while SDF is ranging between 100.000 and 120.000. In theory, all the main military forces in Syria agree that it is time for peace, to work together to rebuild Syria. To reach cohesive agreements means that all sides also need to make concessions. Assad is gone, and the future of Syria needs to be built on consensus and popular unity, including all the people in Syria and with the memory of all those who gave their life to make this day possible.</p><p>We also know that happy endings are just for movies. Life goes on and the struggle has to go on. We need to use the time we have to be ready for what will come tomorrow. We have a revolution to defend and we have a fight to win. We can't simply wait and expect that things will play out as we wish. We need to make sure that the achievments of the revolution and the lessons learned here help us in the next battles to come.</p><p>Revolutionary greetings! 🖤<br>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Syria</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DAANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SNA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PYD</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPJ</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPG</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HTS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kurdistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kurdistan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendRojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendRojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Comrades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Comrades</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Internationalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbdullahOcalan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbdullahOcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/%C3%96calan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Öcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PKK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PKK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomenLifeFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenLifeFreedom</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Newroz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newroz</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Alawite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alawite</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Latakia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Latakia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Lebanon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lebanon</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hezbollah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hezbollah</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a></p>

It has a very significant meaning of resistance for Kurdish people. Throughout northern Syria big celebrations were organized by the DAANES, with music, political speeches and other cultural events. Many political and social organizations made statements to celebrate Newroz and to celebrate the achievements of the Kurdish liberation movement, as well as the revolutionary steps taken this year, and the recent statement of Abdullah Öcalan invigorated the celebrations.</p><p># NEXT STEPS ON THE AGREEMENTS SIGNED BY ABDI-SHARA'A</p><p>Following the agreements of cooperation signed by Mazlum Abdi and Ahmed al-Shara'a, the provisional goverment formed a committee to coordinate its implementation. Alongside discussions about the integration of SDF into the Ministry of defense and other topics related to security and military affairs, steps are also been taken in civilian affairs. UNICEF mediated a discussion between the DAANES and the Ministry of Education to develop a fair and accessible process for students across the region, mainly concerning Syrian universities and mechanisms for conducting secondary and preparatory certificate exams. Discussions about oil and gas fields and electricity plants are also taking place, with the Syrian Minister of Electricity Omar Shaqrouq giving at a press conference about energy infrastructure repairs in northeast Syria. Rumors and alleged conditions of SDF and the transitional government about the integration of SDF in the new Syrian army are spreading on some social networks, but as terms are being discussed no official announcements have been made this week.</p><p># AGREEMENTS BETWEEN PYD AND ENKS</p><p>Representants of PYD (Partiya Yekitiya Democratic - Democratic Union Party, leading political party of DAANES) and ENKS (Kurdish national union party, a party in Rojava that is closely connected to KRG and Turkey) held a meeting in Qamishlo with mediation of Mazlum Abdi and American officials. After the meeting both sides communicated they reached agreements to end the disputes between both organizations and to build a common delegation to negotiate with the Damascus provisional government. Both parties also expressed their common disagreement with the provisional consitution that was recently proposed by the provisional government, calling for a decentralized and federal Syria. They also stated that they will meet again after the celebrations of Newroz to continue negotiations.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/COASTAL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>COASTAL</span></a> INSURGENCE </p><p>Incidents continue in the coastal areas of the Latakia province that saw the recent wave of insurgency. Revenge killings and kidnappings have continued over the past week, even as coordinated insurgent attacks and extrajudicial sectarian killings by interim government forces have decreased. Alawite media have widely reported on instances of violence committed against the Alawite community by Sunnis and government forces. Several thousands, mostly Alawites, left their homes seeking shelter from the attacks in Lebanon. Near 10.000 found temporary shelter in the Russian base at Hmeimim, but after the tensions lowered, Russian military personal urged them to leave the military base.</p><p># CLASHES IN LEBANESE BORDER </p><p>After a confusing incident on the border between Syria and Lebanon where some Syrians were killed, clashes took place. Forces of HTS connected to the Syrian Ministry of Defense (MoD) launched a raid into Lebanese territory, taking control of one small border town. The Lebanese army engaged in clashes, allegedly against smugglers or tribal armed groups. HTS-linked media blame Hezbollah for the incidents, but Hezbollah denied involvment. Over the week, clashes continued on and off, with discussions ongoing between Lebanese goverment and Syrian provisional government to secure the border and stop the clashes. Allegedly, Hezbollah used the tensions and confusion to launch raids on Syrian territory.</p><p># DEIR EZZOR INSURGENCY</p><p>Soldiers of the MoD launched several raids in the Deir Ezzor region, in areas under control of the provisional government. The raids followed a wave of insurgency and attacks against military points of the MoD, allegedly by smuggling networks and militias aligned with Hezbollah or with Iran. It seems there is no direct relation between the insurgency in Deir Ezzor and the insurgency in coastal areas, but in both cases Assad loyalist elements seem to be involved in one way or another.</p><p># HALT ON TURKISH ATTACKS? </p><p>On Sunday 16th of March a Turkish drone attacked a family home in the Kobane countryside killing both parents and 7 children, with only two children surviving with serious injuries. Many protests denouncing the attack took place all across north-east Syria. Two days after the massacre, the attacks of SNA and the Turkish army slowed down to a point that in the last days, no new attacks are reported. This pause could be a temporary phenomenon, but it comes against the backdrop of the SDF-Syrian provisional government talks. Turkey and the SNA appeared to halt attacks on March 19, which was the same day that the Syrian interim government met with the SDF at al Shaddadi base in Hasakah Province to continue negotiations over the SDF’s integration into the Syrian army.</p><p># ISRAEL ATTACKS</p><p>Israel continued its attacks on Syrian military positions, further advancing their occupation in southern Syria. Some airstrikes are claimed to be targeting military installations in southern Syria, which were allegedly being repurposed by military personal, and becoming a potential threat to Israel. Military occupation forces entered several new villages of the Quneitra region. Besides the expansion of the military occupation, they launched airstrikes next to the Lebanese border, allegedly targeting Hezbollah militias. The Israeli air force also bombed the Palmyra military airport in central Syria in several raids.</p><p># ANALYSIS: Read in comments</p><p>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Syria</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DAANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SNA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PYD</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPJ</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPG</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HTS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kurdistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kurdistan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendRojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendRojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Comrades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Comrades</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Internationalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbdullahOcalan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbdullahOcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/%C3%96calan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Öcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PKK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PKK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomenLifeFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenLifeFreedom</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Newroz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newroz</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Alawite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alawite</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Latakia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Latakia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Lebanon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lebanon</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hezbollah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hezbollah</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a></p>

It ensures Kurdish political rights and paves the way for integration of major institutions. DAANES institutions back the agreement gladly, hoping that it will put an end to the different conflicts like the clashes erupted on the coast, will safeguard rights of Kurds, and will enable the return of IDPs and refugees to Afrin and other occupied territories. In the following days, the UN and relevant international state actors, such as Gulf states, European states, and US welcomed the SDF-Syrian government agreement. </p><p># Aftermatch of Coastal insurgence</p><p>After few days of coordinated insurgent attacks on the coastal region of Latakia, the stronghold of Assad loyalists, forces of the Ministry of Defense (MoD) are, more or less,in control of the situation. Several insurgents had been killed or arrested in wide security operations, as well as several fighters linked to the MoD, mostly caught in ambushes by the insurgents. Many civilians, mostly Alawite population, have been killed or forced to flee looking for shelter in the Russian military base. Security operations continue, combing the insurgent areas. Insurgent attacks, even if not in the scale that they had been, also continue. Interim president al-Shara made declaration briefly acknowledged accusations of extrajudicial killings by HTS-led forces and promised that those who “exceeded the powers of the state” will be held accountable. Shara also appointed two Alawites and several competent, professional judges to a committee to investigate the crimes committed by government troops.</p><p># Provisional Constitution of Syria</p><p>Interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara signed a provisional constitution on March 13, claiming to initiate a five-year transition period. The document is based on Islamic jurisprudence, remarking that the president of Syria must be Muslim. The constitution defends the freedoms of opinion, expression, information, publication and press, also defends religious freedom. The Constitutional Committee emphasized that the document ensures a separation of powers between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. However, it ensures a lot of powers to the president, who will appoint a third of the "Peoples Assembly" and select a committee that will appoint the other two thirds. The president will also select the seven members of the Supreme Constitutional Court, also have right to declare state of emergency with the approval of the National Security Council, formed by the minsters of Defense, Interior, Intelligence and Foreign affairs. This grants al-Shara a massive influence over the formation and direction of the Syrian state. The SDC and other institutions of the DAANES, including the opposition party of ENKS, made declarations rejecting this constitution and denouncing how it perpetuates the presidential model of the Assad regime, not reflecting the plurality of Syria. Druze authorities also made declarations in the same direction.</p><p># Turkey continue on the offensive</p><p>After the agreement between Mazlum Abdi and Ahmed al-Shara, there was a question of how much this implies the end of hostilities between SNA and SDF. But clearly nothing really changed on the ground. Turkey continued their attacks with planes and drones over the Eufrates region around Tishreen dam, were the civilian protests still ongoing. There have been renewed attacks with heavy weapons on differnet points of the M4 like Til Temir and Ain Issa frontlines. Turkish foreign minister made declarations declaring that will monitor closely the implementations of the agreements with SDF, calling to make no concessions for any attempt of self-administration.</p><p># Continuing repatriations from Al-Hol camp to Iraq</p><p>After Iraq halted repatriations from Iraqi citizens in al-Hol camp for a short period, and following coordinated efforts between DANNES and the Iraqi state, more than 600 Iraqi former arrested had been allowed to return to Iraq. This also comes after The provisional government announced that they are ready to take control of the ISIS prisons currently under control of SDF.</p><p># Points of agreement signed by SDF and the provisional government:</p><p> Political Participation – Full representation and rights for all Syrian communities, including Kurds, in state institutions based on merit rather than sectarian or ethnic background.<br>Kurdish Rights – Recognition of the Kurdish community as an integral part of Syria, ensuring constitutional rights and citizenship protections.<br>Security and Stability – A ceasefire across Syrian territories, aiming to reduce hostilities and facilitate political dialogue.<br>Institutional Integration – The merging of all civil and military institutions in northeast Syria into the national framework, including border crossings, airports, and energy resources.<br>Refugee Return – Guarantees for the safe return of displaced Syrians to their homes under government protection.<br>Sovereignty Protection – Joint efforts to counter external threats, including armed groups and foreign interventions that destabilize Syria.<br>Combating Extremism – Enhanced cooperation in counterterrorism efforts against ISIS and other extremist factions.<br>Ending Division and Sectarian Rhetoric – Rejecting hate speech and ensuring national reconciliation.</p><p># Evaluation</p><p>The recent agreement between Mazlum Abdi and Ahmed al-Shara, happening at the same time than the massacres against Alawite population, leaves a bitter taste. The agreement brings nothing new, nothing more than what was already discussed. It is the formalization on paper to reach common agreements for Syria. It takes a step to make sure that no national-scale decisions and talks are made without people of northeastern Syria. Still, it is hard to see the future of the revolution through the large scale moves of state-level diplomacy.</p><p>At the same time, we need to ask ourselves: what would we like to see? What is the alternative? What could be done in this situation? Is there any better way to proceed, something that aligns better with anarchists values and respects the will and the needs of the people of north-east Syria? Honestly, these are very difficult questions.</p><p>We need to reflect what all this means. What it means for the people here, wearied by war, with the Turkish threats of a full scale invasion still looming? What it means for the revolution, with the collapse of the Assad regime but with a new authotitarian goverment rising over the same structures of nation-state? And also what it means for us, revolutionary anarchists who committed to support and defend this revolution?</p><p>In comparison with everything around it and beyond, NE Syria is clearly the most exciting political proposal in the region. Can it survive the war, the lack of resources, the attacks from all sides, the cooptation Can it avoid collapse and annihilation? Can people defend what they fought and died for, and live their lives in dignity? Time is desperately needed to ensure positive answers to these questions. And the moves we see in past weeks do buy the revolution some time. What we are trying to do here defies th logic of capitalist modernity, and this is not an easy thing to do. And as every revolution, whatever happens will bring lessons for the next ones to come.</p><p>Revolutionary greetings! 🖤<br>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Syria</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DAANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SNA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PYD</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPJ</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPG</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HTS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kurdistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kurdistan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendRojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendRojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Comrades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Comrades</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Internationalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbdullahOcalan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbdullahOcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/%C3%96calan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Öcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PKK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PKK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomenLifeFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenLifeFreedom</span></a></p>

abolitionmedia<p><strong>How Syria’s HTS is Quietly Dismantling the Palestinian Cause</strong></p><p></p> <p>Since the fall of the Syrian government on&nbsp;<a href="https://thecradle.co/articles/hts-declares-end-of-syrian-government-as-extremists-swarm-damascus" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">8 December</a>, the direction of the new&nbsp;<a href="https://thecradle.co/articles/ahmad-al-sharaa-named-transitional-president-of-syria-constitution-dissolved" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">interim</a>&nbsp;administration, headed by&nbsp;<a href="https://thecradle.co/articles/good-jihadi-bad-jihadi-al-qaedas-sharaa-vs-sinwars-resistance" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ahmad al-Sharaa</a>, has become increasingly clear. Politically, militarily, and legally, Damascus now appears aligned with Washington’s long-standing vision of dismantling the Palestinian cause.</p><p>This alignment is taking shape on three key fronts: first is the Palestinian Authority (PA), resistance factions such as Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and other factions splintered from the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Second, is the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) tasked specifically to aid Palestinian refugees in the region, and third, are the camps housing Palestinian refugees and displaced Syrians.</p><p>Two developments underscore this shift. First, both Turkiye and Lebanon have blocked Palestinians holding Syrian documents from returning to Syria on the same basis as Syrian nationals. Second, US media has revealed ongoing talks between Washington and Damascus over the possibility of Syria absorbing tens of thousands of displaced Gazans, in exchange for sanctions relief or a broader political arrangement, particularly in the aftermath of the&nbsp;<a href="https://thecradle.co/articles/inside-the-hts-israeli-campaign-to-eliminate-syrias-military-engineers-and-scientists" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Coastal Massacre</a>s earlier this year.</p><p><strong>Front 1: The PA and the resistance factions</strong></p><p>More than four months into the transition to new governance, one thing is clear: former Al-Qaeda affiliate leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, now Syria’s president, is keeping Hamas at arm’s length. Despite repeated requests by Khaled Meshaal – head of Hamas’s political bureau abroad – to visit Damascus, the interim authorities have stalled, aiming to avoid direct confrontation with Israel or the US.</p><p>This new Syrian posture takes place in the midst of an ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people and the occupation state’s aim to eliminate their Islamic resistance.</p><p><i>The Cradle</i>&nbsp;has learned that communication between Hamas and the new authorities is largely being channelled through Turkish intermediaries. Ankara is reportedly facilitating the relocation of several Hamas military officials to Idlib, the stronghold of Sharaa’s Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants.</p><p>In contrast, Sharaa – who met with Palestinian Prime Minister&nbsp;<a href="https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/palestinian-premier-meets-syrian-administration-leader-in-damascus/3464656" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mohammad Mustafa</a>&nbsp;in January – has formally opened channels with the PA’s diplomatic mission in Damascus, recognizing it as the official representative of the Palestinian people.</p><p>The visiting delegation included senior officials from Fatah and the PLO, most notably Mahmoud Abbas’s son, who arrived to reclaim properties previously held by anti-Fatah factions under former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad’s government.</p><p>On the night the Assad government collapsed, Popular Front–General Command (PFLP-GC) Secretary-General Talal Naji and Palestine Liberation Army (PLA) Chief-of-Staff Akram al-Rifai sought refuge at the PA embassy. Palestinian ambassador Samir al-Rifai reportedly received a sharp rebuke from Abbas for granting them shelter. As for the rest of the faction leaders, each of them remained at home.</p><p>The day after HTS forces entered Damascus, they launched a&nbsp;<a href="https://thecradle.co/articles/hts-officials-order-palestinian-resistance-factions-to-disarm-close-bases-in-syria-report" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wave of closures</a>&nbsp;targeting Palestinian faction offices. Those belonging to Fatah al-Intifada, the Baath-aligned Al-Sa’iqa movement, and the PFLP-GC were shuttered, with their weapons, vehicles, and real estate seized.</p><p>The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), which had maintained a lower profile during the Syrian war, was allowed to continue operating – though under observation.</p><p>On 11 and 12 December, several faction leaders convened at the Palestinian embassy in the presence of PLA leader Rifai to discuss their future. They attempted to arrange a formal meeting with Sharaa via Syria’s Foreign Ministry. Instead, a messenger from HTS – identified as Basil Ayoub – arrived at the embassy and demanded full disclosure of all faction-owned assets, including real estate, bank deposits, vehicles, and weapons. No political engagement would be possible, he said, until a comprehensive inventory had been submitted.</p><p>The factions complied by drafting a letter declaring that their holdings were lawfully acquired and that they were prepared to limit their activity to political and media outreach, in full alignment with Syria’s new posture. The fate of the letter to Sharaa and its response are unknown.</p><p><strong>Decapitation campaign: arrests, confiscations, and settlements</strong></p><p>What followed was a systematic decapitation of the Palestinian factional structure in Syria.</p><p>In early February, Fatah al-Intifada’s Secretary-General&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dailysabah.com/world/mid-east/syrias-pro-assad-palestinian-factions-tout-organizational-changes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Abu Hazem Ziad al-Saghir</a>&nbsp;was arrested at his home. After hours of interrogation and a raid on his office – where documents reportedly linked him to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) – he was released.</p><p>A week later, he was re-arrested and held at a newly established detention site behind the Abbasid Stadium. A financial settlement was reached: $500,000 in exchange for his release and deportation to Lebanon. At the request of the committee, the movement’s Central Committee issued a statement terminating Saghir’s duties and dismissing him from the movement. However, Saghir issued a counterstatement from Lebanon, transferring the movement’s General Secretariat there and dismissing those who had made the decision to remove him.</p><p>The Palestinian Baathist faction, Al-Sa’iqa, fared no better. Its Secretary-General Muhammad Qais was interrogated and stripped of the group’s assets. Though he was not in command during the Battle of Yarmouk and thus escaped harsher punishment, HTS ordered the removal of the term “Baath” from all official materials. A statement soon emerged from within the occupied territories denouncing Qais as a “regime remnant,” suggesting a growing internal split.</p><p>HTS also clamped down hard on the PFLP-GC, whose Secretary-General, Talal Naji, was placed under house arrest and interrogated multiple times. All the group’s offices, vehicles, and weapons were confiscated, their headquarters shuttered, and its members beaten and humiliated. Their radio station, Al-Quds Radio, was seized, and their Umayyah Hospital is reportedly next in line.</p><p>The “Nidal Front” – a breakaway faction of the Palestinian Popular Struggle Front (PPSF), a left-wing group within the PLO – was the most controversial of its dealings. At the beginning of the events, Khaled Meshaal was able to mediate for the Front’s Secretary-General, Khaled Abdul Majeed, and protect him and his organization. However, in February, Abdul Majeed fled to the UAE.</p><p>His personal residence and vehicles – reportedly privately owned – were seized along with 50 million Syrian pounds (less than $5,000) in assets. Forced to resign by HTS, he handed over authority to a central committee operating out of Damascus and Beirut.</p><p>The DFLP has so far escaped the brunt of these purges, and its offices and vehicles remain untouched by the new administration, possibly because it had no ties to Iran or Hezbollah. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine’s (PFLP – different from the PFLP-GC) main office in the Taliani area of Damascus remains open but inactive, while the rest of its offices have been shut down.</p><p>As of now, the PIJ, whose fighters have been on Gaza’s frontline battling the Zionist regime since 7 October 2023, remains in its Syrian offices. The faction’s representative has not been summoned for questioning, despite Israel bombing an apartment used by the group’s Secretary-General, Ziad al-Nakhala.</p><p>However, key PIJ military figures relocated to Baghdad on the night Damascus fell to HTS. Their activities inside Syria appear largely to have been reduced to conducting funerals for fighters who were killed in battle in southern Lebanon, albeit exclusively inside Palestinian refugee camps.</p><p>The Yarmouk camp in Damascus had already witnessed a series of protests in the first days of February, most notably gatherings demanding the closure of the headquarters of pro-regime organizations and the accountability of those involved in the arrest and killing of camp residents. The events escalated into an attempt to set fire to the headquarters of the PIJ’s Quds Brigades, with some youths and children throwing firecrackers at the building. Meanwhile, a demonstration erupted in protest against the decision to reopen the offices of the Al-Sa’iqa brigades in the Al-A’edin camp,</p><p><strong>Front 2: Palestinian refugee camps in Syria</strong></p><p>The crackdown on political groups has created a leadership vacuum in Syria’s Palestinian camps. Living conditions – already dire – have deteriorated further. In early February, protests erupted in several camps over Zionist regime’s brutal attacks on the occupied West Bank’s Jenin Camp, following the PA delegation’s visit and the Syrian government’s formal recognition of Ramallah’s authority. Many feared this shift would accelerate plans for permanent resettlement of the refugees. At the same time, residents say they were coerced into public rallies in support of Sharaa’s <a href="https://thecradle.co/articles-id/29388" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">self-declared</a>&nbsp;presidency.</p><p>On 24 February, the Community Development Committee in Deraa began collecting detailed personal data from camp residents under the pretext of improving service delivery. A similar census was launched days earlier in Jaramana, but the purpose and funders of these efforts remain unclear.</p><p>Into this vacuum stepped Hamas. Through affiliated organizations like the Palestine Development Authority, Hamas began distributing food and financial aid, often via operatives embedded within HTS. This effort came as services once offered by the PIJ – including transportation, communal kitchens, and medical support – were halted. Even the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rt.com/op-ed/203907-palestine-syria-shelling-clashes-conflict/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Palestinian-Iranian Friendship Association’s</a>&nbsp;headquarters in Yarmouk was taken over and repurposed by HTS elements.</p><p>Other actors, such as the Jafra Foundation and the Palestinian Red Crescent, continue to operate despite significant constraints. Their efforts have been insufficient to meet demand, particularly as the local economy continues to collapse. Most refugees rely on informal work, and with much of the economy paralyzed, daily survival has become precarious.</p><p>Of particular concern is a reported settlement proposal, conveyed through Turkish mediation. It allegedly offers Palestinians in Syria three options: Syrian naturalization, integration into a new PA-affiliated “community” under embassy supervision, or consular classification with annual residency renewals. The implicit fourth option is displacement, mirroring what happened to Palestinians in post-US invasion Iraq.</p><p><strong>Front 3: UNRWA, sidelined and undermined</strong></p><p>Though the new Syrian authorities have not openly targeted UNRWA, their lack of cooperation speaks volumes. UNRWA no longer appears to be viewed as the primary institution responsible for Palestinian affairs in Syria.</p><p>In Khan Eshieh Camp, a local committee working with the new administration petitioned the Damascus Governorate to prepare a municipal plan for rehabilitating the camp’s infrastructure. The implication was clear: Syrian authorities are preparing to take over&nbsp;<a href="https://dpa.gov.jo/En/Pages/UNRWAs_responsibility_in_the_camps" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">camp management</a>&nbsp;from UNRWA, following the Jordanian model.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Immigration and Passports Department resumed issuing travel documents for Palestinian refugees in January, a bureaucratic move that revealed the new government’s intention to reassert control. Around the same time, the Palestinian Arab Refugee Association in Damascus suspended its operations following a break-in that reportedly disrupted pension payments to retired refugees.</p><p>Despite limited resources,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.watanserb.com/en/2025/03/11/israel-launches-largest-airstrikes-in-two-months-targeting-syrian-military-sites/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hamas and the PIJI</a>&nbsp;remain a point of concern for the occupation state. A recent&nbsp;<i>Yedioth Ahronoth</i>&nbsp;report claimed that both groups are attempting to rebuild military capacity inside Syria, with the intention of targeting settlements near the occupied Golan Heights and northern Galilee. While the report acknowledged no confirmed troop movements south of Damascus, it warned that operational planning is underway.</p><p>A close examination of Sharaa’s behavior and the new regime in Damascus reveals no apparent dissolution of these two organizations’ operations, as the Zionists claim. All that is taking place are temporary measures until a “big deal” is reached with the Americans, one of whose provisions will be the official and popular status of the Palestinians. Unless the country descends into chaos, one of the expected outcomes will be a clear Zionist ground military intervention under the pretext of removing the Palestinians from the border.</p><p>source: <a href="http://thecradle.co" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Cradle</a></p> <p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=17852" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">17852</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/counter-revolution/" target="_blank">#counterRevolution</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/hts/" target="_blank">#hts</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestine/" target="_blank">#palestine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/syria/" target="_blank">#syria</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/west-asia/" target="_blank">#westAsia</a></p>
