Syria’s defiant Kurds vow to ‘fight until last breath’ despite government push
Syrian Kurdish forces have declared their determination to continue resisting government advances in northeastern Syria, vowing to fight until the last fighter despite increasing pressure from President Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), who have been a crucial ally to the United States in the fight against the Islamic State (IS) militants, now find themselves under attack by Syrian government forces seeking to regain control of the region.
The SDF accused the Syrian government of seeking to undermine stability and peace in the region, stressing that they will “defend northeastern Syria with all their power.” The Kurds fear that a potential agreement between the Syrian government and Turkey could lead to further violence and displacement in the already war-torn country.
Meanwhile, the Syrian government argues that the presence of the SDF in the region is illegitimate and that they must return under government control. Assad’s forces have intensified their efforts to retake areas held by the Kurds, raising concerns about a possible escalation in the conflict.
The situation remains tense, with both sides showing no signs of backing down. As the Kurds stand firm in their resistance, the Syrian government seems determined to assert its authority over the region, setting the stage for a potentially protracted confrontation in northeastern Syria.
The international community watches closely as tensions rise in Syria, with fears of further destabilization and civilian suffering growing as the standoff continues.
