Semi-autonomous Kurdish authority to raise Syria’s independence flag

The Kurdish administration governing a semi-autonomous enclave in northeastern Syria has announced it will embrace the independence flag used by the opposition.

In a statement, it described the three-starred flag as a “symbol of this new stage” that “expresses the aspirations of the Syrian people towards freedom, dignity and national unity”.

The authority will “raise the Syrian (independence) flag on all councils, institutions, administrations and facilities affiliated with the Autonomous Administration”, it said.

Same flag used by HTS/FSA? That's a positive sign that SDF and HTS/FSA will strive to co-exist. Best case scenario I feel is HTS/FSA allows SDF to remain autonomous beyond the river in exchange for SDF recognising them as a legit government. Unfortunately, that doesn't settle the matter of Türkiye and SNA and HTS are unlikely to tell Türkiye to fuck off since they need them.

But HTS/FSA/SDF being on the same page is a step forward.
