1. VARIOUS OF PEOPLE HOLDING BANNERS CONDEMNING PKK/YPG, CHANTING SLOGANS DAMASCUS, SYRIA - NOV. 21, 2025: Hundreds in the Syrian capital held a demonstration on Friday, Nov. 21, against the PKK/YPG terror organization.

Protesters carried banners reading “If fathers do not liberate this land, we will,” and “The free people of Jazira will return after crushing the PKK.”

Other signs declared, “Syria rejects the presence of PKK/SDF gangs in the Jazira region,” “I stand with every oppressed person, but not with Mazloum Abdi,” and “SDF means pressure, arrests and displacement.”

On March 10, the Syrian presidency announced the signing of an agreement for the SDF’s integration into state institutions, reaffirming the country's territorial unity and rejecting any attempts at division.

Syrian authorities say that in the months since, the SDF has not shown any efforts to meet the terms of the agreement.

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

The Syrian government has been intensifying security efforts since last year’s ouster of Bashar al-Assad after 24 years in power.
