US EditionSyrian Government and Kurdish-Led Force Exchange Prisoners in a Step Toward Easing Tensions
- On Monday in Aleppo, more than 400 detainees were swapped between Syrian government forces and a Kurdish-led group under an agreement established earlier this year.
- The exchange followed a March agreement between Damascus and the Kurdish-led authority including a ceasefire and the integration of the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces into the Syrian army.
- This exchange, similar to one in April, aims to reduce tensions and build confidence between the government and the U.S.-backed Kurdish-led forces controlling northeastern Syria.
- Aleppo’s deputy governor, Mulham al-Akidi, reported that a total of 470 detainees were freed as part of an exchange between opposing sides, while civilian Yasser Mohammed Hakim recounted being held for six months alongside Islamic State prisoners after mistakenly entering an SDF-controlled area.
- The prisoner swap signals tentative progress toward easing conflict in Syria despite ongoing struggles by authorities to exert control and reach political settlements across the war-torn country.
