Leaders and community representatives in Syria’s Tabqa and Raqqa province have reaffirmed their commitment to a March 10 agreement between the Negotiation Committee in northern and eastern Syria and the transitional government. Speaking at a broad-based meeting in Tabqa, officials stressed dialogue, rejection of violence, and preserving Syria’s unity. Tribal elders said there would be no war, while SDF commander Mazloum Abdi confirmed understanding on military integration, noting political and constitutional issues remain unresolved. The agreement’s implementation remains uncertain amid recent sporadic clashes, including fighting in Aleppo.
