Syria Rejects SDF's 'Autonomy' as Aggressive, Seeks Peaceful Resolution
In a surprising shift from its stance on the Syrian conflict, Information Minister Dr. Hamza al-Mustafa has come forward with the Syrian government's long-held vision for the country's future – one that seeks unity under the single state entity.
Al-Mustafa has framed the ongoing tensions between Damascus and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) as a natural progression from the unresolved agreements of the past, rather than an unplanned escalation triggered by external forces. His words are seen as a direct challenge to SDF's demands for de facto autonomy within Syria.
As tensions continue to escalate, al-Mustafa has made it clear that the Syrian government stands resolute on upholding state sovereignty and territorial integrity. The implications of this stance are far-reaching, with potential far-reaching consequences for regional players looking to intervene in the conflict.

. It's like they're playing a game where one side says "give us autonomy" and the other is all "nope, you're part of our country". I don't get why it has to be that way 
. Can't they just find a peaceful solution? 
Instead of making things worse. And what about the people caught in the middle? They're the ones who really suffer 
.
. I just wish everyone involved could sit down and talk things out... but until then, it's all just going to be more of the same 
.
. It feels like they're trying to shift the blame on the SDF's demands for autonomy instead of addressing the real issues at hand 
. The fact that they're framing it as a natural progression from past agreements seems kinda convenient... and a bit confusing, considering how things have played out in the past 
. I'd love to see more concrete plans from the government on how they intend to achieve unity under one state entity – sounds like a pretty tall order 
. And what about the regional players who are already getting involved? Is the Syrian government ready for that kind of pressure? 
. Syria is already one of the most messed up places on earth and now they're threatening to crush any hopes of autonomy for the SDF? It's like they're saying 'nope, you can't have your own thing, we're taking it all back'. I feel bad for the people who are caught in the middle. Can't we just talk things through and find a peaceful solution? 
. The SDF is already working hard to help people in those areas, might as well give them some control 
. Doesn't seem too radical a request if you ask me 
. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out, especially with regional players like Turkey or Iran getting involved 
. Maybe it's time for some neutral parties to step in and help facilitate a peaceful resolution? 
The people of Syria deserve that much 
.
. Can't we just talk things through and find some middle ground? 
. A peaceful resolution would be ideal, but it's unclear if both sides are willing to compromise 
...
like one day you're talking about autonomy and the next you're all about unity under 1 state entity... it's like a puzzle and nobody seems to know the right pieces to put together 
anyway, i guess the sdf needs to rethink their strategy if they wanna be taken seriously, but at the same time, i'm all for them having some degree of autonomy 
. I don't blame 'em, really. It's gotta be tough dealing with that level of instability. But at the same time, you can see why the Syrian gov would wanna keep everything under one roof. Still, it's a tricky situation and it's hard to predict what'll happen next 
. Can't help but wonder if they're all just trying to avoid the real issue...
. It's not that hard to understand why the SDF would want autonomy – they've been fighting for it after all! But at this point, I'm just worried we'll end up back where we started: a messy war that nobody wins 
. Can't we all just talk things out and find some common ground? 
. And now Dr. Hamza al-Mustafa's come forward with this whole "unity under one state" thing... it sounds like a total power grab 
. I'm rooting for peaceful resolution over here 
. The thought of regional players getting involved is giving me anxiety 
. Can't we all just get along? 
if anyone knows how to get all sides talking again, it'd be the syrians themselves 
It sounds like they're trying to shift the blame onto the SDF for escalating tensions. But what if it's actually the other way around? What if the SDF is just trying to protect themselves and their people from being pushed back by the Syrian government's military actions?
