However, the security situation has remained unstable, and the Kurdish militia has been among the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/14\/world\/middleeast\/syria-kurdish-militia.html\" title=\"\">most challenging<\/a> groups to bring under the new government\u2019s fold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Syria\u2019s new government has ordered all armed groups in the country to dissolve, and in recent weeks, several prominent militias have agreed to work with the new authorities, but it remains unclear whether all those militias have yet fully integrated into a single national army under Mr. al-Shara\u2019s authority.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There remains skepticism about the new leadership\u2019s sweeping promises to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/11\/world\/middleeast\/syria-assad-israel-turkey.html\" title=\"\">create an inclusive government<\/a>. As a rebel leader, Mr. al-Shara commanded an armed group once allied with Al Qaeda, and skeptics question whether he has given up his former hard-line jihadist views.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For years, the Kurdish-led militia has been the main U.S. partner in the fight in Syria against the Islamic State, and it made hard-fought territorial gains amid the country\u2019s civil war, to the extent that it now administers a de facto state in Syria\u2019s northeast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The group has long sought to position itself as the protectors of Syrian Kurds, who make up about 10 percent of the country\u2019s population. It also <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/30\/world\/middleeast\/us-funding-freeze-isis-camps-syria.html\" title=\"\">provides security at detention camps<\/a> housing thousands of Islamic State members and their families.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But amid mounting uncertainty over Washington\u2019s role in the region, experts said Kurdish-led forces likely recognized their negotiating position was eroding. <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/16\/world\/middleeast\/kurdish-forces-syria-turkey-isis-america.html\" title=\"\">American support for the Kurdish militia has been crucial<\/a> to its finances, but President Trump has not yet committed to continuing to support the group on which the U.S. spent about <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/comptroller.defense.gov\/Portals\/45\/Documents\/defbudget\/FY2025\/FY2025_CTEF_J-Book.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">$186 million<\/a> in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Despite the breakthrough on Monday, there were some questions that were left unanswered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For one, it remained unclear whether the S.D.F. would be allowed to operate as a distinct military bloc within Syria\u2019s armed forces, a sticking point in recent negotiations that the government has previously rejected. It was also unclear how exactly the call for \u201ca cease-fire on all Syrian territories\u201d would be carried out as stipulated in the agreement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Even on Monday, fighting <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/05\/world\/middleeast\/syria-militias-fighting.html\" title=\"\">continued to rage<\/a> in the northeast between Kurdish-led forces and armed groups backed by Turkey, a close ally and backer of the new government in Damascus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Turkey has long viewed the S.D.F. as an extension of Kurdish separatist insurgents within Turkey who have fought the Turkish state for four decades, but who recently announced that they would <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/01\/world\/middleeast\/pkk-kurdish-cease-fire-turkey.html\" title=\"\">give up that fight<\/a>. Amid dramatic changes in Syria\u2019s political landscape, many Kurds have grown unnerved at the prospect of ending up worse off under a government supported by their longtime foe, Turkey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But as soon as news of the agreement broke, people in northeast Syria gathered in the streets, shooting into the air in celebration. Especially relieved \u2014 and excited about the deal \u2014 were Arabs in the Kurdish-led region who have worried for months that their area might come under attack not only from Turkey and its proxies, but also from the central government.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI am very happy because of the agreement between Damascus and the S.D.F., but we want to be sure Damascus guarantees our rights,\u201d said Faisal Ahmed, 40, an Arab who sat drinking tea in the northeastern city of Qamishli.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Like many who live in northeast Syria and were happy about the news, he said the lack of clarity about the specifics left him uncertain about who would keep the area safe from attacks by Turkey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf Damascus is serious about becoming friends, then they should stop the Turkish groups from attacking us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Naleen Mohammed, 35, a Kurd, said she welcomed the announcement, particularly now that unrest was enveloping Syria\u2019s coastal region, the heartland of the country\u2019s Alawites, another minority group. Alawites played a leading role in the Assad regime and have feared retribution since it fell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt is very good to have an agreement with Damascus \u2014 much better than fighting with them,\u201d she said. \u201cWe can see what is happening in Latakia with the Alawites, they are killing people and we don\u2019t want that to happen in our area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Alissa J.
