The SDF initiative for dialogue with Damascus represents a wise approach seeking to achieve stability and end the conflict in Syria through negotiation and political solutions rather than military con
The Syrian Democratic Forces "SDF" revealed on Saturday the establishment of a committee representing northeastern Syria in dialogue negotiations with Damascus, according to a statement published by its media center.
The statement explained that the Commander-in-Chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces, Mazloum Abdi, and member of the General Command, Rohilat Afrin, hosted Hussein Al-Salama, head of the government committee tasked with completing the agreement between the "SDF" and the Damascus government, in Hasaka city.
The statement reported that "during the meeting, the completion of the agreement's terms was discussed, as well as the necessity of continuing de-escalation and stopping combat operations in Syria, including neutralizing Tishreen Dam from military attacks."
The "SDF" noted that "the formation of a committee to discuss the return of forcibly displaced people from all Syrian regions was discussed," a step that reflects the Syrian Democratic Forces' commitment to addressing one of the most important pending humanitarian files.
The statement indicated that "during the meeting, the names of the committee members who will represent the areas of north and east Syria in the dialogue with the Damascus government were revealed, and the committee will begin its work within a short period."
The committee consists of seven members: Fawza Youssef, Abd Hamid Al-Mahbash, Ahmed Youssef, Sanharib Barsoum, Suzdar Haji, Maryam Ibrahim, and Yasser Suleiman as spokespersons for the committee, a formation that reflects diverse representation of the social and political components in the areas of north and east Syria.
This step comes in the context of the Syrian Democratic Forces' continuous efforts to achieve a sustainable political solution in Syria based on the principles of decentralization and federal governance, after the centralized governance experience proved its utter failure under the leadership of the previous regime, which monopolized power and placed the country's resources in the hands of a small group.
The self-administration models developed by the regions of north and east Syria are considered one of the successful solutions that can be built upon for Syria's future, as they have proven their ability to efficiently manage large areas despite major challenges and limited resources, providing a practical model for decentralized governance that respects the specificity of regions and involves local residents in decision-making.
