The Damascus. Commentators on social media
A convoy’s arrival is expected to represent an enduring shift from control by the SNA. Whether change would also result in Kurds who fled Afrin in 2018, when Turkey invasion returning to the region. The deployment appears to have been greeted with support by locals commentators who follow developments has also led to expectations among eastern Syria media organizations close to Syrian Democratic Forces, back by U.S. as Damascus will send an official delegation to Afrin to standardize its authority. Ahmed Hassan, head of the local branch of the Kurdish National Council in Afrin, told Rudaw
Media Network on February 6 that he “has not been officially informed that power in Afrin and its surroundings will be transferred to the General Security of Damascus govt control].”Today’s developments follow years of uncertainty in the region. In Jan 2018, Turkey target Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) military op in Afrin. At the time, Afrin was run by Syrian People’s Defense Units (YPG), who linked to PKK. Ankara backed Syrian Nat Army, a collection of Syrian rebel to take over Afrin in the wake of the fighting. Since then, Afrin has been subjected to infighting among SNA factions & experienced significant demographic changes as people displaced from other areas of Syria moved there. “The number of displaced has led to unprecedented population explosion in Afrin,” recently. Many of displaced individuals who moved to Afrin are Arabs, many who fled in 2018 were Kurds have demanded to return to the area, according to reports by the Kurdish Hawar News Agency (ANHA).
Damascus’s entry into Afrin follows high-profile trips by Syrian President Ahmed Sharaa to Saudi Arabia & Turkey, as well as a phone call between Sharaa to French President Emmanuel Macron on February 5. It is unclear if visit to Turkey and the call with Macron are linked to new deployment in northwest Syria, or if deployment presage similar movements into other areas run by the SNA.
