With the aim of reinforcing the communes' role in community governance and organization, Al-Shaddadi City Council in Jazira canton organized the first commune conference in the council hall, attended by representatives of communes and civil and military institutions in the city.

Aldar Khalil, the member of the Democratic Union Party's Co-Chairmanship, spoke during the conference about the general political situation, stressing on the importance of negotiation as a means to achieve sustainable peace and protect the rights of the people of North and East Syria.

Khalil expressed his appreciation for the sacrifices made by the martyrs, which paved the way for a free and dignified life for people. He added that the Autonomous Administration in North and East Syria is far from the authoritarian system and racism, and aims to foster co-existence among all components, while external forces, such as the Turkish authorities, seek to destabilize the region.
