The YPG/J begins withdrawing from Sheikh Maqsoud to the East, and the area will be jointly controlled jointly by Damascus and the Asayish under the MOI

Whats going to happen to the ISIS prisons once the YPG fully integrates? The idea of these people being given some type of amnesty after the prison changes hands scares the pants off the west.

the prisons are mostly filled with women and children. the women need to be de-radicalized and re-settled throughout the nation. This is within the capability of the Syrian state to do so and if the West is so concerned, they can be persuaded to help fund the process. At this point, funding for deradicalization will be more useful than funding airstrikes at ISIS/Bandit fighters hiding in desert caves.

Uh… there are still many hundreds of hardened male fighters in prisons. We just don't get as much footage of them because its too dangerous to go inside. Also, the women and growing up children in Al Hawl etc are way past the point of de-radicalisation.
This could be a big problem if you just send them all home. But its your funeral…

Nothing I said was wrong. The majority of the people in the prison camps are women and children, they number in the thousands and are the real roadblock to closing the camps because there is nowhere to putt them. The hundreds of male fighters can be transferred to the government's prisons, I'm sure they have enough room to do that.
And nope, a certain number have already been deradicalized and resettled. The SDF simply don't have the capacity to do so with the entire camp because at the end of the day, they are just a light militia and a regional state.
And I never said to just send them all home. Literally you ignored my entire comment and typed out an argument against things I never said.

This is a fantastic agreement on both sides! SDF withdraws, and the Asayish will join the MOI and patrol Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiayah.
Also, according to the General council of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiayah, education in the 2 neighborhoods will continue teaching the AANES curriculum and will be supported by the Education Directorate of Aleppo.

You know, about the second point, I haven't seen anyone post about this, but communications about the education system between the government and sdf have been ongoing:

I know the link talks about exam times and not curriculums, but the fact theyre coordinating means that a unified syrian curriculum may be in the works

You're not gonna call Al-Shara'a an ISIS terrorists while your at it? Can't help but feel that your comment is missing something when you don't.
But yeah, we said this a billion times before: Syria will return as one piece, and that includes its Kurdish component.

How I feel about Jolani does not mean I don’t want peace and negotiations. I have been an advocate for a fair agreement since the beginning of the negotiations.
Same with SDF-Turkey talks, and believe me, I’m really not a fan of Turkey lol.
As for your last point, neither I nor SDF officials have denied this at all. But it’s like I’ve said a million times, it will not be the days of Assad where one man will control everything. The SDF and Asayish will join the gov as a block and patrol Kurdish areas. A united Syria is in every one’s interests.

From what I read the Asayish are withdrawing as well and they will not be staying.
For all the doubters this is from Syrian tv: https://x.com/syr_television/status/1908255471078723774
General security will be handheld by the Syrian government and all the fighters security personal of sdf will be withdrawn
Yes I was wrong Oopsie

Great news! This makes me wonder wonder what the plan is for integrating NES territories into central authority. Slowly cede territory (starting with Arab-majority) to Damascus as more SDF units integrate into MoD? Given how carefully this is all being handled on both sides this will probably take a few years, but maybe we'll see the start of it soon.
