Syria, SDF Strike Deal To End Clashes Over Aleppo’s Strategic Tishreen Dam

The Kurdish militia and Turkish-backed factions have been engaged in heavy fighting over the dam since the fall of the former government

Damascus has reached an agreement with the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on the strategic Tishreen Dam in the Aleppo countryside, which is Kurdish-held and has recently been the focal point of heavy clashes between Kurds and Turkish-backed militants.

"Syrian Arab Army forces and security forces entered into the Tishreen Dam ... to impose security in the region, under the agreement reached with the SDF," state news outlet SANA reported on Saturday.

SANA said the deal includes the formation of a joint force tasked with protecting the dam. It also calls for the withdrawal of Turkish-backed armed groups "that seek to disrupt this agreement." Many of these groups, part of what used to be known as Ankara’s proxy the Syrian National Army (SNA), are now incorporated within the armed forces of the new Syrian government.

The SDF reportedly withdrawn from Tishreen Dam.

According to a Kurdish source cited by AFP, the agreement stipulates that the dam will remain under Kurdish civilian administration.
