Damascus refuses to extend ceasefire with SDF

The ceasefire between Syrian government forces and the SDF will not be extended. The country's Foreign Ministry believes that the organization's factions are violating the ceasefire.

Syrian authorities refused to extend the ceasefire with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), SANA reports, citing the country's Foreign Ministry.

The decision is motivated by Damascus's position, which sees no peace aspirations on the part of the SDF and believes the ceasefire is merely a way for the organization to gain extra time for its goals.
