Syria, Turkey Sign Defense Cooperation Deal after Ankara Talks
The Syrian Defense Minister signed a memorandum of understanding with his Turkish Counterpart on military training and consultancy after talks in Ankara on Wednesday, according to Reuters. Over the last few months, both countries had been negotiating a comprehensive military cooperation agreement to help rebuild the Syria after the fall of Al-Assad's regime in December. During the talks, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan accused Israel and the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) of obstructing the new government's efforts to rebuild Syria after over a decade of civil war. He said Israel had 'fueled certain difficulties' in Syria and cautioned that Israeli security 'cannot be achieved by undermining the security of neighboring countries.' Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and his Syrian Counterpart Asaad Al-Shibani 'To the contrary, you should make sure your neighboring countries are prosperous and secure. If you try to destabilize these countries, if you take steps to that end, this could trigger other crises in the region,' Fidan added. Condemning SDF's Failure to Comply with the Deal Earlier this month, a Turkish Defense Ministry source stated that Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have failed to comply with a deal signed with the new government earlier this year to integrate into Syria's state institutions. The source also warned that the recent clashes between the Kurdish parties and government forces threaten the country's unity, according to Reuters. 'It has not escaped our attention that the SDF terrorist organization's voice has become louder, empowered by the clashes in Syria's south,' the source told reporters at a briefing in Ankara. Turkey considers the US-backed SDF a terrorist organization and has repeatedly noted that it expects the group to abide by the deal to disarm and integrate into Syria's state institutions. 'The SDF terrorist organization's attacks in the outskirts of Manbij and Aleppo against the Syrian government in recent days damage Syria's political unity and territorial integrity,' the source added. In March, Syria's President Ahmad Al-Sharaa and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Chief Mazloum Abdi signed an agreement to integrate the civil and military institutions of Kurds into the Syrian government. However, the implementation of this deal was held up by differences between both parties.

Reintegrating millions of Afghan refugees is critical to a peaceful future, a UN official says
ISLAMABAD: Reintegrating Afghan refugees is critical to the country's peaceful future as social cohesion will be reduced without it, a UN official said Friday. Some 2.2 million Afghans have crossed the border from Iran and Pakistan since the start of the year, according to the latest figures from the UN refugee agency. They arrive in a country struggling with climate change, a stagnant economy and a humanitarian crisis. Some 60 percent of those returning to Afghanistan are under 18. Stephanie Loose, a country program manager at UN Habitat, said reintegrating these millions was critical for a peaceful future in Afghanistan. 'If you come back to a country where resources are already scarce, there's a lot of competition already for jobs, land, housing, any sort of services, it's clear that if you don't foster dialogue between the local population and those arriving, this feeling of competition will grow and reduce social cohesion, which is like creating another root cause for war and conflicts,' Loose told a media briefing in Geneva. 'And the country has seen enough of that.' It is important for people to understand that those returning are not a burden, she added. They come with skills and are part of a solution for social and economic stability. People bring what they can carry from Iran and Pakistan, leaving behind their homes and the majority of their belongings. Afghan authorities offer support at the border with cash, food, shelter, health care and onward transport to settlements across the country. The Taliban have urged their neighbors to avoid forcibly returning Afghans and to treat them with dignity. Iran and Pakistan deny targeting Afghans, saying they are expelling foreigners living in their countries illegally. Women and girls are particularly hard hit once they return to Afghanistan, where education is banned for females beyond grade six and the Taliban restrict access to many jobs and public spaces. Loose said Afghan women and girls lacked social, educational and economic development opportunities. Requirements to have a male guardian when leaving the home created further barriers for women-headed households.
