# IMPLEMENTATION OF JAN 30 AGREEMENTS
Following the agreement with SDF a convoy STG personal entered the cities of Hasakah and Qamishlo. They are tasked to coordinate the integration of SDF into the new Syrian army and the political structures of the DAANES into the SYrian State. SDF and other structures of NES proposed . SDF answered the request for nominations for some key postitions with the following candidates:
- Noureddine al Ahmad, former SDF public relations officer, as the Hasakah Province governor.
- Azad Kobani, SDF intelligence chief, as the Syrian assistant defense minister.
- Siamand Afrin, SDF unspecified commander, as the Hasakah Province deputy director of security
Unidentified attackers tried to assault the STG convoy is Qamishlo, with Asayish responding to prevent further conflict, resulting in one Asayish injured.
Syrian authorities report positive start to SDF Agreement.
# INFORMATION PUBLISHED ON JAN 30 AGREEMENT:
Al Majalla, a Saudi-owned, UK-based media outlet, published the full text of the January 30 agreement. Allegedly it includes fourteen clauses and four unspecified phases that will occur over one month, as well as a fifth phase that will result in a permanent agreement
1 The SDF and Syrian Government declared a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire and agreed to stop arrests related to recent fighting. The SDF will continue to protect detention facilities holding ISIS fighters, and the Syrian government pledged to provide full logistical support for the ongoing US-led detainee relocation process.
2 The SDF will withdraw its forces from Hasakah and Qamishli cities to agreed-upon bases, while the Syrian army will withdraw its forces near Hasakah City to al Shadaddi.
3 The Syrian Ministry of Defense (MoD) agreed to form a three-brigade army division in Hasakah Province made up of SDF fighters.
4 The MoD will integrate SDF forces in Kobani into one brigade subordinate to an unspecified parent division in Aleppo Province.
5 The Ministry of Interior (MoI) will dispatch “15 vehicles” to both Hasakah and Qamishli cities to enhance security and begin the process of integrating SDF internal security forces into the MoI.
6 The SDF will submit proposals to appoint local officials, including the governor of Hasakah Province, the assistant minister of defense, and Hasakah Province’s deputy director of security. The Syrian government has already appointed a new Hasakah Province director of security.
7 The Syrian government will take over vital infrastructure from the SDF, including key oil fields in Hasakah Province and the Qamishli Airport.
8 The Syrian government will deploy a team from the Land Border Authority to the Semalka and Nusaybin border crossings in SDF territory to register civilian employees and prevent the smuggling of foreign fighters and weapons at the crossings.
9 The Syrian government will take over all civilian institutions in Hasakah Province and integrate the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) into Syrian state institutions.
10 The Syrian MoD will prevent its forces from entering Kurdish majority towns and cities.
11 The Syrian government will validate all school, university, and institutional certificates issued by the AANES.
12 The Syrian government will provide licenses to all local and cultural organizations and media institutions in accordance with the regulations of the relevant ministries.
13 The Syrian Ministry of Education and the SDF will discuss the educational curriculum for the Kurdish community.
14 The Syrian government will ensure the return of all internally displaced persons (IDPs) to their respective cities and villages (including Afrin, Sheikh Maqsoud, and Ras al Ayn) and appoint local officials to those areas.[28] Turkish-backed offensives against the SDF since 2018 forcibly displaced Kurds from Afrin and Ras al Ayn, and the more recent January 2026 Syrian government offensive displaced people across Aleppo, Hasakah, Raqqa, and Deir ez Zor Provinces.
# ONGOING TRANSFER OF ISIS PRISONERS
Iraq confirms the transfer of over 1300 ISIS prisoners after the operations of transport got delayed due to bad weather conditions. Speaking in an interview with Al Arabiya news channel, Khaled al-Yaqubi, an adviser to the Iraqi prime minister, said that only four of the transferred ISIS members are Iraqi nationals. Earlier on Monday Iraq announced the start of investigative procedures involving 1,387 ISIS members who had been detained in Syria.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
# EVALUATION
The implementation of the agreements between SDF and STG is having some visible steps in the main cities, but on the front lines the situation still tense. Comrades are still ready to defend the ground if things come to a military escalation, not lowering defenses. Even though the political and the military are inherently connected, SDF forces are aware that political agreements should not mean lowering military readiness.
It is a difficult moment for us to evaluate the situation. On one hand this agreement may be an opening ground for political struggle beyond weapons. On the other, many comrades on the ground are having doubts about the agreements, mainly about how much the transitional government will respect the conditions set, as they already broke past agreements. Still, it is clear that the popular organization in NES still strong and ready to struggle, whatever it will be on the frontlines, on the political institutions or on the streets.
Revolutionary greetings 🖤

here is the latest (A) report in NES, which notes the besieging of Kobane, SDF Withdrawal from Al-Hol Camp, and the releasing of ISIS Prisoners.
“The existential threat NES is facing as a whole, moves many families and individuals to pick up arms and take their place in the defense of their homes and cities. Many have joined YPG/YPJ, neighborhood watches, etc. The mobilization is called for by the SDF, but the society-wide response is voluntary.”

# ONGOING FINALISATION OF STG-DAANES AGREEMENT
For what is known currently about the plan to implement the ceasefire and integration agreement:
STG forces were and are already withdrawing from Heseke and Kobane frontlines.
Internal security forces of the transitional Syrian state already went to internal security forces of Kobane to discuss how this task will be done.
Implementation of further steps as counted from tomorrow:
DAY 1 (Monday) STG security vehicles going to Heseke and Qamishlo
DAY 2 Oil fields of NES into STG control
DAY 3 Syrian Civil Aviation Authority will take control of Qamishlo airport (which before was held by Russians) and Syrian forces to NES' (only!) border crossing (with KRG/Kurdistan-Iraq)
SDF will withdraw from Heseke and Qamishlo to agreed barracks. SDF and STG allegedly started already to withdraw from Kobane and Heseke frontlines. STG forces are to move to Shaddadi.
SDF is to have a brigade of 6,000 in Kobane, and three brigades totaling 16,000 in Heseke province.
Military forces are prohibited to enter cities and villages, especially Kurdish areas.
After these steps, the Syrian transitional state will take over civilian institutions of Heseke province and DAANES institutions will be integrated into the Syrian state apparatus. DAANES and SDF nominate persons for positions in the Syrian institutions, and STG needs to approve them. SDF already nominated Nour al-Din Ahmad (Abu Omar Khanika) as governor of Hasakah, SDF official Redor Khalil as deputy to the Ministry of Interior, and SDF official Siamand Afrin as deputy director of security in Hasakeh province.
Internally displaced persons can return to their home cities and villages, additionally local officials will be appointed to represent them in those places.
Integration and recognition of educational institutions of NES and licensing of cultural organisations.
...This generally can be read as what is happening at the top of NES politics.
# POLITICS FROM BELOW, WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE GROUND
Generally, there is widespread confusion and uncertainty how things will develop. An impression, that the revolutionary project here would be over is short-sighted. For one, all the forces are still ready for and practicing where needed self-defence on the frontlines. Secondly, even if institutions etc formally shift, all those revolutionaries will certainly not just betray their values and aspirations towards reform but remain finding ways to live up to those revolutionary principles.
# ISIS PRISONERS CONVOY
A convoy of buses, escorted by a US armored and aircraft military convoy, has reached the town of Rimelan in the province of Heseke. The convoy is heading to Iraq through Semalka crossing to relocate ISIS prisoners to 'safer prisons'. At the same time, there are reports that the relocations halted over Iraq wanting to prioritize repatriations of non-Iraqi, non-Syrian ISIS foreign fighters to their respective countries of origin. Overall, only a fragment of the supposed 7,000 ISIS militants were moved to Iraq so far.
# HUMANITARIAN AID STILL BLOCKED FROM ENTERING KOBANE
Just, as could be observed so often in Gaza, 25 direly needed humanitarian aid trucks carrying essential basic necessities for people in besieged Kobane are still halted at the Turkish border just outside of Kobane. For the three days the trucks are waiting there already, many representatives of civil organisations and the DEM party are holding a vigil next to the trucks.
# REPRESSION OF SOLIDARITY MOBILISATIONS
Further 29 activists of the 'Caravan Defending Humanity' that arrived this weekend at the Turkish-N.E.Syrian border were arrested and deported. Before, they had read a statement and protested in the streets of Pirsus (Suruc). The official reason for the arrests is currently unknown.
Kurdish youth from Turkey, Iran, and Iraq were stopped attempting to enter NES at Semalka border crossing to follow the call for general mobilisation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
# EVALUATION
Generally, roles of authority play an even larger role now, and civil and military leadership of NES are very busy working towards a political solution, with the wish to avoid further war and the lack of an alternative prospect besides total war and reformist integration. Whether the ceasefire and agreement will be respected and followed and whether its implication will work, is entirely uncertain at this point in time. Diplomatic politics are currently the preferred means, with the aim to avoid more losses due to war. At the same time, Turkey is strikingly silent and on the surface uninvolved in the latest stages of agreement making. Turkey still is at the border, always ready to invade, and can take further steps of pressure and attack if not approving of the agreement. Meanwhile, as expressed in the 'politics from below' part, what is happening on the top does not translate directly to what happens on the ground. There is an atmosphere of change and unclarity in the air, but certainly all the revolutionary principles and achievements that have been fought for hardly, will not be abandoned.
Revolutionary greetings!🖤

# AGREEMENT STG-DAANES
We already posted the latest agreement between DAANES and STG. Currently it is just a paper, each time agreements with the STG have been made, they have not been followed by the STG. But if the implementation of it will take place in the upcoming weeks, it will have major implications for what the Rojava revolution turns into. Key points of the agreement are the integration of SDF under STG command, while YPJ remaining as a separatist part, and SDF keeping separate brigades in Kobane and Heseke.
# CARAVAN IN DEFENCE OF HUMANITY
Arrives at Border to Kobane
After a week of travel, cars from various places in Europe finally reached the border with NES. The caravan is a direct support to the defence of the revolution. Before, there had been long delays at the Greek-Turkish border and a number of participants had not been let in to Turkey. Several further activists were deported from Turkey to Germany. Now, the caravan met with DEM party and makes clear that the border is not the end of the journey.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
# EVALUATION
It's still early for a complete evaluation about the consequences of this new agreement, but we want to take a look on how we got to this point. At the beginning of January, when the attacks on Aleppo started, SDF agreed to withdraw not just from Aleppo but from the areas that came under control of SDF after the collapse of the Assad regime. However STG forces already planned to advance further, overplaying their hand, confident that no external powers would intervene if they played bold. SDF was in a very difficult spot, and decided to withdraw from the contact line and reorganize in their strongholds, ready to defend the core areas.
Rojava made clear that it is ready to rise up in total resistance. That if it were to become an existential war, it is ready to fight until the end. STG tried to advance in Heseke, but they couldn't. They besieged Kobane, but they did not get close to the city. Heavy clashes are still taking place in the contact lines between both forces. The new front lines where SDF decided to take a stance did not move. While STG forces already lost several armoured vehicles, the losses of the SDF are mainly from the ambushes they suffered during the withdrawal. Militarily, SDF is still a relevant force able to defend itself, as it has been proved during the last days. Politically, the DAANES is still a relevant actor with a diplomatic body able to react to the political attacks. But mainly, the Kurdish people's response, not only in Syria but all over Kurdistan and all around the world, is what brought the transitional government to the negotiation table.
If we look at the situation of the Kurdish people in Syria at the beginning of the war, and even more if we look beyond that, what this agreement is putting on the table is an incredible step. In many ways, it feels like a defeat, because it is formalizing the control of the central state over an autonomous administration that worked and developed free of the oppressing hand of any state. But it is also formalizing some rights and recognition that Kurds in Syria never had before.
Still, more than the papers signed or the institutions involved, what matters is how much this will affect the people on the ground. Clearly, the transitional government neither has the political force, nor the people to simply take control of the administration of northern Syria. Still, the implication of this agreement means giving up on major parts of autonomy that have been integral to the self-administration. The possibility of the return of IDP's to Aleppo or Afrin is a very important part of the negotiations, and the revolutionary spirit is strong and ready to put up many fights. To avoid a bloodbath and to make space for political struggle it is an important move. The political arena can be a better ground to continue the struggle than the military force, knowing that if the doors for political transformation are closed (again), the right (and the means) for self-defense are accessible.
For sure, things will change. And clearly not for the best. The whole world is going into really dark times, but it is also in those dark times when new fires can light brigther. This may be the end of a very important chapter of the history of this particular revolution. Rojava is a proof that organizing a society outside of state control is possible also in the 21st century. That a revolution that puts women's liberation in the center can build new forms of liberation with a degree and depth never seen before. The Kurdish Liberation Movement is more alive than ever, and will continue growing and learning from what is happening not only in Rojava, but in all of Kurdistan and beyond. As we said, this is just one chapter of the revolutionary history let's make sure we write many more, let's work to make the ones that are to come even better.
Revolutionary greetings! 🖤

A new statement of SDF announces an agreement in the talks with the transitional government from yesterday:
"A ceasefire agreement was reached between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) under a comprehensive agreement, with an understanding on a phased integration of military and administrative forces between the two sides. The agreement includes the withdrawal of military forces from contact points, the entry of security forces affiliated with the Ministry of Interior into the city centers of Hasakah and Qamishli and the commencement of the integration of security forces in the region, and the formation of a military division comprising three brigades from the SDF, in addition to the formation of a brigade from the Kobani forces within a division affiliated with the Aleppo Governorate. The agreement also includes the integration of the institutions of the Autonomous Administration into the institutions of the Syrian state, with the regularization of civil servants. Furthermore, an agreement was reached on settling the civil and educational rights of the Kurdish people and guaranteeing the return of displaced persons to their areas. The agreement aims to unify Syrian territory and achieve full integration in the region by strengthening cooperation between the concerned parties and unifying efforts to rebuild the country.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
# ONGOING CLASHES
The extension of the ceasefire is still preventing major military conflict. Still, clashes and attacks are taking place in the front-lines. SDF made a statement reporting an attack repelled in the mountains Abd al-Aziz south of Hasakah where at least 4 attakers lost their lives. STG forces attacked with kamikaze drones SDF positions in Chil Axa, a town in the Qamishlo-Derik road that, if falling under control of STG forces, will cut the connection between Qamishlo and the border with Bashur.
# ISIS RESURGENCE THREAT
With the instability in the region, risks for further re-expansion of ISIS are high. While ISIS was never gone, the SDF did a decent job containing it. With multiple prisons and al-Hol camp now in STG's hands, they have many more chances to regroup. According to Iraqi officials, ISIS membership has grown from 2000 to 10000 in the last year since Jolani took power in Syria. Iraq has increased its border security with Syria for worry of escaping ISIS trying to make their way to Iraq. Iraq and the US made an agreement that Iraq will take 7000 ISIS prisoners from Syria. Bagdad said it will prosecute the individuals once in Iraqi custody. The stated reason for the current 15-day ceasefire was the moving of these prisoners.
# NEW ROUND OF NEGOCIATIONS SDF AND STG
On the evening of 27th of january a delegation from the SDF met with the STG in Damascus. No official statements yet.
# RUSSIAN REPOSITIONING
As we said in our last update, Russian forces have left their Qamishlo base. Now only two bases remain in Syria, Tartus and Khmeimim. Russian (military) power in the middle east is waning after the fall of Assad and with the war in Ukraine on going. Tartus and Khmeimim are now Russia's only two bases outside the territory of former Soviet-Union.
Jolani and Putin have met today in Moscow palace. No official statements yet. The extradition of Assad and his wife is a matter Jolani has been pushing with Moscow since his ascention to power.
# INTERNALLY DISPLACED PEOPLE'S (IDP) SITUATION CRITICAL
It is estimated by the AANES office for IDP's and refugees that about 350.000 people have become IDP's in recent weeks because of the STG's attacks. Important to note is that many of these people were already displaced from Afrin, Sheba, Aleppo, Serekaniye and Tel Abyad and now are IDP for a 2nd, 3rd or 4th time. In some place more than 40 families are allocated in a single school with nowhere near enough basic facilities or access to water and food or heat and blankets.
Aid is coming in, from the UN, Heyva Sor, Barzani Foundation an other NGO's, but it is not nearly enough to fulfil the basic needs of the people.
# ARREST OF THE HEAD OF SDC
The Syria Democratic Council (SDC) condemned the arrest of Ghassan al-Youssef, deputy co-chair of SDC presidency, by the Syrian government, describing the move as arbitrary and a serious violation of political norms. The council said their decision to remain in their communities and continue political and administrative work under complex wartime conditions “was not an act of confrontation, but an expression of national and moral responsibility. (...) Targeting individuals who chose peaceful political work and holding local communities accountable for national choices that protected them from the brutality of the former regime is unacceptable and illegitimate.”
