More than
450 displaced Kurdish families headed from Kobani to their homes in the Afrin
area of northern Aleppo on Tuesday under an agreement between the Syrian
government and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Shafaq News
correspondent said the convoy departed from the village of Kulmad, marking the
first return convoy from Kobani under the agreement.
On May 10,
around 1,800 families also returned to Afrin from Qamishli, one day after
another convoy carrying about 1,200 families departed from Hasakah.
In late
January, the Syrian government and the SDF reached a comprehensive ceasefire
agreement that includes the gradual integration of military structures,
incorporation of Autonomous Administration institutions into state bodies,
protection of civil employees and educational rights for Kurds, and the return
of displaced residents to their areas.
