Germany Raises Health Insurance Income Limits: What This Means for Expats
Section: Health Insurance
In Aleppo, Syria, a ceasefire has been established between the Syrian Army and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). This agreement, reported by the state news agency Sana, comes after a period of escalating tensions and violent clashes between the two factions, who had been exchanging accusations of provocations.
The recent hostilities posed a threat to a prior agreement made in March, which aimed to fully integrate the Kurdish forces into the country's governmental structures. The northeastern region of Syria remains under the control of the SDF, who had allied with the United States in the fight against the Islamic State (IS) during the Syrian Civil War.
Since the ousting of long-time leader Bashar al-Assad, tensions in northern Syria have persisted. The Turkish military and allied militias have actively targeted Kurdish forces in the area. The Turkish government views the YPG militia, which is part of the SDF, as an extension of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), an organization classified as a terrorist group by Turkey, the EU, and the US. Ankara has consistently opposed any form of autonomy for the Kurdish population and maintains close ties with the Syrian government.
The Turkish authorities have accused the SDF of delaying integration efforts into the Syrian state apparatus and have threatened military action if these forces do not comply. Additionally, the United States has urged the SDF to expedite negotiations regarding their incorporation into the Syrian government.
