Syria-Lebanon-Iran

YPJ says talks with Damascus continue under Jan. 29 agreement

2026-08-05

Yes, yes, it’s very exciting that the HTS government of Syria is talking to the Kurds instead of trying to kill them. Enjoy it while it lasts, guys.

[North Press] The Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) – an all-female force active within the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) – said on Tuesday that negotiations with the Syrian transitional government are continuing within the framework of the Jan. 29, 2026 agreement, adding that no final decision has been reached regarding the force’s future status.

In a statement, the YPJ said it held talks with Syrian Defense Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra in April, during which it submitted a written proposal outlining its vision and recommendations concerning the implementation of the agreement.

“To this day, we have not been informed of any official proposal or decision by the authorities in Damascus,” the statement read.

The YPJ noted that discussions are ongoing over proposals to incorporate the force into the Syrian Interior Ministry as an independent unit tasked with combating terrorism, stressing that no agreement has yet been finalized.

“There are proposals for the Women’s Protection Units to join the Ministry of Interior as an independent force dedicated to combating terrorism. However, no final decision has yet been reached on this matter,” the statement added.

They are immodest females who think themselves equal to men. Will this be allowed to stand in a Sharia-ruled caliphate?
