00:00A ceasefire has been declared in Syria after days of fighting between government forces and Kurdish-led groups.
00:08The truce announced by President Ahmad al-Sharah comes as Syrian troops advance into strategic areas previously under Kurdish control.
00:17Kurdish leader Maslum Abdi agreed to the ceasefire to prevent the conflict from spiraling into a larger war that could further destabilize the country.
00:26Under the deal, Kurdish administrative bodies and armed forces will be integrated into the Syrian state.
00:33The agreement comes after months of stalled negotiations and rising tensions between the two sides.
00:39The development marks a significant setback for Kurdish ambitions in Syria.
00:44For more than a decade, Kurdish groups have sought to maintain de facto autonomy over their territories, an arrangement now increasingly uncertain.
