Sarah Glynn reports on the situation on the ground in Syria and Turkey, following the ceasefire and integration agreement signed by the Syrian Transitional Government and the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria and Syrian Democratic Forces.
An agreement was made under pressure between Rojava’s Syrian Democratic Forces and the United States-backed Syrian Transitional Government (STG) for a permanent ceasefire and integration of Rojava into the STG. Peter Boyle reports.
Sarah Glynn outlines the sequence of events that have reduced the Kurdish-led Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria to the main centres of Kurdish habitation and forced Kurds into an uncertain process of integration with the Syrian Transitional Government.

That society is in mortal danger today.
