Damascus reaches an agreement with "SDF" regarding the neighborhoods of Ashrafieh and Sheikh Maqsoud in Aleppo.

Following the recent rapprochement that took place about a month ago between the Syrian Democratic Forces, known as "SDF," and the new administration in Damascus, a new agreement has been reached between the two sides regarding two famous neighborhoods in Aleppo, predominantly inhabited by Kurds. A temporary agreement was reached on Tuesday for the Kurdish forces to withdraw from the neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiya in the city of Aleppo. The key points of the agreement signed between the Civil Councils of Ashrafiya and Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhoods in Aleppo province and the committee appointed by the presidency to implement the agreement with the SDF are as follows: - Respecting the social and cultural privacy of the residents of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiya neighborhoods, predominantly Kurdish, with the Ministry of Interior responsible for protecting the population and preventing any attacks or threats to their lives. - Armed manifestations are prohibited in the neighborhoods, with weapons restricted to the internal security forces under the Ministry of Interior in the neighborhoods. - Military forces will gradually withdraw from the neighborhoods to designated areas, with an internal security center established in both Ashrafiya and Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhoods. - The fate of detainees by both parties in Aleppo province will be discussed, and all prisoners captured after liberation will be exchanged. - Technical committees will be formed to implement the agreement on the ground, and the terms of this civil agreement will take effect when the Kurdish and Syrian central parties agree on a sustainable text. Recent times have witnessed a kind of agreement between the "SDF" and the new Syrian government, following the meeting between SDF commander Mazloum Abdi and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa on March 10 at the People's Palace in the capital Damascus, where several points were agreed upon, facilitating the Syrian government's control over areas in northeastern Syria and ensuring Kurdish rights in the new government.
