自2024年以来，叙利亚总统艾哈迈德·沙拉领导的政府迅速从库尔德人领导的叙利亚民主力量（SDF）手中夺回了东北部的大部分领土，局势发生了重大转变。在将SDF纳入国家机构的谈判失败后，政府军推进至库尔德人控制区，促成了一项包含14项条款的协议，该协议旨在解散SDF这一独立实体，并将关键资源的控制权移交给大马士革。尽管政府承诺给予自治权和少数族裔保护，但库尔德人仍然担心遭到镇压，而美国转而支持沙拉更加剧了这种担忧。目前，停火协议阻止了政府军的进一步推进，但权力的重新集中可能会引发新的权力下放诉求，并引起其他族群（如德鲁兹人）的担忧。 President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s Syrian government has rapidly regained territory in the north-east from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), in a major shift since 2024. After a failed negotiation to integrate the SDF into state institutions, government forces advanced into Kurdish areas, prompting a 14-point deal to dissolve the SDF as a separate entity and transfer control of key resources to Damascus. Despite promises of autonomy and minority protection, Kurdish fears of repression persist, compounded by the U.S. shifting its support to Sharaa. A ceasefire halted further advances for now, but the re-centralization of power could spark new demands for decentralization and raise concerns for other ethnic groups like the Druze.
