Ahmed al Charaa, leader of the insurgent coalition known by the nom de guerre of Abu Mohamed al Golanihe promised this Sunday to the Syrian Kurdish that they will live together and will try to get them to return to the areas until now dominated by Türkiye and the pro-Turkish Syrian rebels.
“The Kurds are part of the homeland. They were subject to great injusticelike us, and God willing, injustice will be eliminated. God willing, in the Syria What comes next, the Kurds will be fundamental. We will live together, God willing, and each one will obtain his right by the law. There will be no more injustice from today on our Kurdish people,” he said in a video published on the official account of the Military Operations Command, which Al Charaa directs.
At the end of the short clip, he is asked: “And our people in Afrin?”, to which Al Charaa replies: “God willing, the same, we will try to return them to their areas and their villages.” With Afrin it refers to the city in northern Syria that in 2018 Turkish troops, together with the Syrian rebels backed by Ankara, of the Syrian National Army (SNA, in English), occupied in their offensive against the Syrian Kurdish people, who manage a administration in northern and northeastern Syria.
“Unified democratic” future
The political leadership of the self-proclaimed Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) reiterated yesterday, Saturday, its call for a general ceasefire with the insurgents who overthrew the Al Assad regime and asked to work for a “unified democratic” future for the country.
The AANES, Ankara’s enemy, controls large areas of the northeast of the Arab country and has been facing pro-Turkish militias that attacked their territories in parallel to the insurgent offensive to overthrow Assad, whom they also opposed despite having collaborated with him in emergency situations.
The Syrian Kurds seek that their autonomous administration coexist with the new interim government formed by the insurgents after the fall of the old regime, which had been in power for around half a century and which was overthrown last Sunday after a rapid offensive by Islamist and pro-Turkish groups.
The interim government is expected to take the reins of Syria temporarily until a definitive government solution is established for the new era.
