VARIOUS OF PROTESTERS HOLDING BANNERS AND CHANTING SLOGANS DAMASCUS, SYRIA - NOV. 14: Residents in several parts of Syria, including the capital Damascus and the northern city of Aleppo, held protests on Friday, Nov. 14, against the YPG/PKK terror group, which operates under the name Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

Hundreds of people gathered in Damascus, Aleppo’s Manbij district, and the border town of Tal Abyad to denounce the group’s presence and its policies in the region.

On March 10, the Syrian presidency announced an agreement to integrate the SDF into state institutions, stressing the country’s territorial integrity and rejecting any separatist designs. The group, however, has violated the agreement more than once.

The SDF is dominated by the terrorist group YPG, the Syrian branch of the terrorist PKK.

The PKK, listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the US, and the EU, convened a congress in May and announced its dissolution, following a February call by ringleader Abdullah Ocalan, for an end to their decades of attacks.
