Despite Syrian Presidential Decree No. 13, which formally allows stateless Kurdish citizens to obtain Syrian citizenship, applicants are still required to register as Arab rather than Kurdish when completing the paperwork.

General Commander of Syrian Democratic Forces , Mazloum Abdî مظلوم عبدي : For example, Syrian IDs? My ID states ‘Syrian Arab,’ but I am not Arab. I am Kurdish, and this is my right. —— Imagine not being allowed to have your real name, your true identity, or even to speak your own language. These are the most basic human rights Kurds are demanding.

As the CIA is reportedly working to arm Kurdish forces to foment an uprising in Iran.… Who are the Kurds? Why do 35 million people - the world’s largest stateless nation - still have no country?

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa: Let's distinguish between the SDF and the Kurdish people. The Kurdish community is a large community spread across Syria; it is not confined to one specific area. A segment of the Kurdish population had been denied Syrian citizenship under the previous regime. This is an old issue that we inherited, but we were determined to resolve it. We issued a decree granting citizenship and nationality rights, and many have already received them. Their cultural rights have also been recognized, and even their national celebration has been officially recognized as a public holiday in Syria. Some parties tried to tie the SDF issue to the Kurdish issue, but we worked to separate the two tracks. We reached good results. Agreements were signed several times, although they were not always implemented. In the latest agreement, implementation became more decisive.

Mohammed al-Ahmed, head of Arab affairs at the Syrian Foreign Ministry, said in an interview with the Kurdish channel Rudaw that the Syrian government is committed to restoring every inch of Syrian territory to its control and that no agreement has been reached with the “Israeli enemy.” He criticized senior Kurdish leaders for appealing to the “Israeli enemy” to intervene on their behalf, and stressed that Syria will not hand over even a single centimeter of its territory under any agreement with Israel.

My comments on DW News: " The civilians will benefit from it (ceasefire), because the Syrian Arab army are now approaching Kurdish majority areas and I think there're gonna be a lot of sectarian tensions and violence if the Syrian army is allowed to enter those areas. And we saw also before that when the Syrian Arab Army moved into minority areas, like from Alawite and Druze, there were like thousands of people killed."

There is currently a protest outside the newly opened US consulate in Erbil, against the Syrian army’s advance toward Kurdish areas around Kobani and Hasakah in Syria. Some of the protesters appear to be Syrian Kurds, while others are from the Kurdistan Region. The protest is still fresh, and social media reports suggest more people are joining. As for the situation on the ground, two phone calls by the Syrian president point toward cultural rights and only limited, area-specific administrative self-rule. One was a call with Masoud Barzani yesterday, in which Barzani’s statement focused on protecting Kurdish rights. Today, al-Sharaa’s call with Trump appeared to centre on the same theme: protecting Kurdish rights within a unified Syria.

Drop Site’s Ryan Grim speaks with American Guy Steward, who volunteered to fight with the Kurdish YPG during Syria’s Civil War. They discuss the latest developments with Syria’s Kurds and the influence of a Vermont-based political theorist who didn’t think Bernie Sanders was left-wing enough on the Kurdish movement. Additional Context: Following the overthrow of Assad’s regime, Syrian Kurds are striving to preserve their autonomy amid shifting alliances and regional dynamics. The Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) has advanced into Kurdish-held areas, capturing Manbij from U.S.-allied Kurdish forces. Turkey views the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) as an extension of the PKK, which it designates as a terrorist organization, and opposes their presence in the new Syria. Kurdish communities are also concerned about potential opposition to their rights from the Islamist opposition forces who led the regime’s overthrow. Link to the full discussion with Guy Steward is in reply.

Aleppo - Kobanê In Bakure Kurdistan (Northern Kurdistan, Turkey) the Kurdish people are demonstrating in solidarity with the Kurdish neighbourhoods in Aleppo which are currently under attack by the Jolani led Syrian administration. Another *Kobane moment* for Turkey - in which turkeys calculation to tolerate/coordinate attacks on Kurdish areas fails and backfires - Kurds will rise up and aid their people, for Turkey this means political turmoil, instability and chaos. More demonstrations are planned for tomorrow - in Europe as well.

Soon, we are likely to hear reports of intense fighting involving 🇹🇷,the Syrian National Army, and groups labeled as “Kurds” in Syria It is important to clarify that 🇹🇷 is not targeting the Kurdish population but rather the SDF/YPG/PKK A video from 2019

The Syrian Government begins its second phase of its war against the Kurdish People. Moussa al-Omar, a STG individual who belongs to the inner circle of Jolani is holding tribal councils across Raqqah and Deirezzor and explains to tribal leaders that Kurds are not native to Syria. This is precisely what we have warned about when we stated that a presidential decree is meaningless and can be revoked at any time. When the Syrian Government holds tribal meetings to align the tribes of Syria with the narrative that Kurds are not native to Syria - then this is why we do not trust the Syrian Government and why we can not simply trust the rhetoric of Jolani.

🇸🇾☀️ The Kurds of Syrian Afrin, who were expelled by Turkish occupiers and their proxy groups in 2018 after its capture, are celebrating their return home after Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa signed a decree on Kurdish rights at the end of January, which recognizes all their rights and guarantees the return of Kurds to the Afrin they left, where they constituted the ethnic majority before the Turkish invasion.

“The Kurds are facing genocide. Whoever wants to help us should do so – today is the day. There is no more time to say ‘we wanted to help, but we couldn’t.’” – Senior Syrian Kurdish politician Îlham Ehmed, responding to my question on contacts between the Kurdish-led administration in NE Syria and Israel

Why do I, as a Syrian whose mother is Kurdish and hails from Kobane, support the Syrian Interim Government? Because I genuinely and wholeheartedly believe it is the best path to guarantee the rights and freedoms of the Kurdish people — within a united, free Syria. I am a unionist, because unity makes us stronger. I reject isolationism, separatism, and secessionism, because division only weakens us and serves our enemies. Our future — Arab, Kurdish, Turkmen, Assyrian, etc. — is one fabric, woven together by struggle, sacrifice, and shared destiny. 🇸🇾🤍

A Syrian Kurd says: "I am a Kurdish Muslim, and I do not accept what the SDG militias are doing to our Kurdish people. We, as Muslim Kurds, do not accept our daughters being kidnapped and forcibly sent to fight." Addressing those who claim that all Kurds are on the side of the PKK/YPG/SDG, he states: "The Syrian National Army must expel the PKK/YPG/SDG. No Kurd affiliated with the SDG has the right to speak on behalf of all Kurds." Speaking to Kurds, he asks: "Are you content with what this group is doing, kidnapping children and forcing them into their ranks?" He shares a personal account: "A friend told me they had kidnapped his 13-year-old niece. On top of everything, they were protecting the Assad regime and standing by its side," he says. Also says: "The Syrian revolution will restore my identity and protect my children after me. This revolution represents all Syrians, and as a Kurdish Syrian citizen, I stand with the Syrian revolution. You accuse us of betraying the Kurdish cause, but in reality, it is you (referring to the SDG) who have betrayed the Kurds". He also points out that the leaders of the PKK/YPG/SDG are Marxist-Communist Kurds.

Videos shared by Telegram accounts close to the Syrian Arab Army purportedly show government forces taking control of the town of al-Mansurah in Raqqa province. However, the Kurdish-led forces told Rudaw they remain in control of the area and that fighting is still ongoing.
