Dr. Hamza al-Mustafa says Syria seeks peaceful solution, accuses SDF of failing to honour agreement

Dr. Hamza al‑Mustafa, Syria’s Information Minister in Damascus, articulates the Syrian government’s position on the ongoing confrontation with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). At its core, the exchange centres on competing visions for the future of Syria: one that emphasises state sovereignty and territorial unity under a single government, and one that involves elements within the SDF seeking de facto autonomy. Dr. al‑Mustafa frames the conflict not as a spontaneous escalation, but as a continuation of unresolved political agreements.
