Ilham Ahmed, Abdul Karim Omar participate in Peace, Democratic integration conference in London

Ilham Ahmed, co-chair of the Department of Foreign Relations of the Autonomous Administration, and Dr. Abdul Karim Omar, representative of the Autonomous Administration, participated in the proceedings of the Peace and Democratic Integration Conference held in the British capital, London. The conference sessions addressed political developments in Syria, the course of dialogue and integration, and ways to guarantee the rights of the various components within a democratic constitutional framework.

During a session dedicated to examining the situation in Rojava and North and East Syria, Abdul Karim Omar, together with Ilham Ahmed, who participated via a recorded video message, addressed political developments in Syria following the fall of the Baath regime, the challenges of the transitional phase, and prospects for building a new political system that guarantees the rights of Syria’s various components.

The interventions also addressed the January 29 agreement and the course of its implementation, noting positive steps in the dialogue and integration process, alongside challenges that still need to be addressed through dialogue and mutual understanding, particularly issues related to cultural and linguistic rights.

The participants also emphasized the right to education in the Kurdish language and the preservation of Kurdish identity and cultural rights, in addition to continuing to work with various Syrian national and democratic forces to reach a political solution that guarantees the legitimate national rights of the Kurdish people.

The interventions stressed the importance of reaching a consensual, democratic, and permanent constitution for Syria that guarantees the rights of its national, religious, and cultural components and strengthens political participation and public freedoms, alongside a decentralized system of governance that enables regions to manage their own affairs within the framework of a united Syria.

The conference is being held on September 29 and 30 and is organized by the Kurdish Affairs Center. It brings together political and civil figures, academics, researchers, and specialists in peace, dialogue, and democratic integration.
