The Kurdish-led SDF has agreed to integrate with government forces in Syria. The SDF currently controls a significant amount of territory in the north-east and plays a major role in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria. The group has been facing attacks from Turkish-backed factions, diverting their attention from guarding prisons and potentially allowing for an IS resurgence. The Turkish government considers the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) as a terrorist organization.
