Hundreds of IS members escaped a prison amid clashes between Syrian government forces and the SDF, the country’s main Kurdish-led force.
It’s currently unclear exactly how the ceasefire talks between interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa and Mazloum Abdi, the commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), on Monday.
Abdi issued no statement after the meeting in the capital Damascus, according to the Associated Press.
But a Kurdish source with knowledge of the talks told the AFP news agency they weren’t positive.
Reuters also reported reporting that the meeting “didn’t go well.”
It cited a Kurdish source as saying that Abdi is dissatisfied with the ceasefire terms and requested more time to discuss the matter with his fellow commanders.
Abdi also repeated his proposal for the SDF to integrate into Syria’s army as units rather than individuals, the source said.
The meeting came after the two sides agreed to an immediate ceasefire on Sunday.
