Despite the ceasefire agreement signed between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Damascus government, the latter continues, in a systematic manner, its military preparations and field escalation in the Jazira and Kobani regions, SDF reported on Saturday.
According to the SDF, military build-ups and logistical movements have been observed, clearly indicating an intent to escalate and push the region toward a new confrontation.
In this context, SDF forces were subjected today to two separate attacks in the Jazira region, constituting a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement.
“While our forces have adhered to, and continue to adhere to, the terms of the ceasefire agreement, we affirm that the military preparations undertaken by the Damascus government stand in complete contradiction to its obligations and reveal deliberate efforts to undermine de-escalation and steer the situation toward war instead of political solutions,” the statement underlined.
The SDF called on the international community and relevant parties to exert urgent efforts to ensure compliance with the ceasefire agreement and to prevent any escalatory steps that would threaten security and stability in the region.
