Raqqa (Syria), 18 January (LaPresse) – ‘It is a victory for all Syrians, regardless of their origin.’ Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa told reporters in Damascus after signing the ceasefire agreement with the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). ‘We hope that Syria can end its division and move towards a state of unity and progress,’ he added. The Syrian state news agency Sana showed President al-Sharaa signing and holding the agreement. SDF leader Mazloum Abdi, who was supposed to meet with the president in Damascus, was not seen, although his signature appeared on the document. Al-Sharaa told reporters that Abdi was unable to travel due to bad weather and that he will visit Damascus tomorrow after reaching the agreement by telephone.
