Syria SDF Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement 2026: A Unified Front Emerges
The Syrian government and SDF signed a historic 14-point ceasefire in 2026. Kurdish forces will integrate into the military as the state regains control of oil fields.
The guns have fallen silent, but the political landscape is shifting beneath the desert sands. The Syrian government announced an immediate nationwide ceasefire with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) today, marking a decisive step toward state consolidation. This deal ends two weeks of intense clashes and signals the effective end of decade-long Kurdish autonomy.
Terms of the Syria SDF Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement 2026
According to Syrian state media, President Ahmed al-Sharaa finalized a 14-point agreement that integrates the SDF into the national military. The deal restores Damascus's control over three key governorates: al-Hasakah, Deir Ezzor, and Raqqa. Central to the agreement is the transfer of lucrative oil and gas fields, which have long funded Kurdish self-rule, back to the central government.
This agreement is a vital step toward a unified Syria where all citizens' rights are recognized under one flag.
A Historic Recognition of Kurdish Rights
In a historic first since independence in 1946, Damascus has formally pledged to recognize Kurdish cultural and linguistic rights. The Kurdish language will be granted official status, and the Kurdish New Year will be celebrated as a national holiday. This concession follows heavy mediation by the US special envoy, Tom Barrack, who praised the deal as a cornerstone for future regional stability.
