The United States encouraged its Syrian Kurdish allies to reach a landmark deal with the Islamist-led government in Damascus, which could stave off further conflict in northern Syria. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/13/world/politics/us-syrian-kurds-damascus-deal/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #syria #kurds #damascus #middleeast #ahmedsharaa
