Syria | Mazloum Abdi in Damascus… Defense Ministry Announces Full Ceasefire with SDF
Syrian Defense Minister Marhaf Abu Qasra announced on Tuesday that an agreement had been reached with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) for a full ceasefire in northern and northeastern. Abu Qasra stated that the agreement covers all fronts and military deployment points and will be implemented immediately.
The agreement follows intense clashes between the Syrian army and the SDF in the Ashrafieh and Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhoods of Aleppo, where hostilities ceased completely after the ceasefire was reached, according to the state-run Al-Ikhbariya channel.
Agence France-Presse reported that Transitional President Ahmed Al-Shar’ met with SDF Commander Mazloum Abdi in Damascus, marking the second meeting of its kind since March. The meeting was attended by the U.S. envoy to the country, Tom Barrett, and the Commander of U.S. Central Command, Brad Cooper, alongside senior officials from the Autonomous Administration, Ilham Ahmed and Rohalat Afrin.
