Residents of Çil Axa reject attempts to incite division among local communities

Amid the spread of hate speech and incitement targeting the region's communities, particularly the Kurdish people by certain figures accused of serving foreign agendas, residents of Çil Axa in al-Jazira region stated that efforts to stir discord and division under tribal banners are aimed at undermining regional stability and derailing the ongoing integration process. They called for preserving civil peace and maintaining unity among all communities.

In this context, Hassan Shahab Fares said that the January 29 agreement between the leadership of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Syrian Interim Government initiated a process to integrate the institutions of the Autonomous Administration and the SDF into state institutions. He argued that this process has alarmed parties seeking to obstruct it by fueling unrest and conflict.

He added that those who benefit from instability are attempting to hinder any progress toward lasting stability, pointing to the involvement of external actors most notably Turkey in encouraging divisions and keeping the region in a state of instability.

Fares emphasized that the people of the region will stand united against any attempts to sow discord, protect their communities, support the integration process, and strengthen peaceful coexistence among all components of society.

For her part, Jalila Abdulrahman Ahmed said that the region's communities have lived together for decades in an atmosphere of solidarity and cooperation, noting that their social ties have always been stronger than attempts to spread division and sectarianism.

She added that the integration process is continuing despite efforts to disrupt it and drag the region into a new cycle of conflict. According to Ahmed, those seeking to undermine stability have no interest in building a new Syria founded on partnership among all its communities.

She concluded by reaffirming their continued support for the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Autonomous Administration in order to preserve stability and civil peace, while emphasizing their readiness to defend the achievements secured through the sacrifices of the region's people.

Salamat Ramo also stressed that the social bonds among the region's communities are deeply rooted and have long served as a strong barrier against attempts to create division. She argued that the current efforts to incite discord are being driven by external actors seeking to undermine this long-standing coexistence.

She added that the current stage requires strengthening the spirit of solidarity and brotherhood among all residents, rejecting exclusionary and discriminatory rhetoric. She called on all communities to stand together against attempts to revive sectarian tensions and social divisions, and to support the integration process as a step toward building a stable Syria in which all citizens enjoy equal rights.

In her concluding remarks, Ramo affirmed that the unity of the region's communities and the preservation of civil peace remain the fundamental guarantees for safely navigating the current period. She added that residents will continue to protect their land and their unity alongside their security forces, emphasizing that the region's tribes have always been and will continue to be a source of stability and reconciliation, rather than a catalyst for conflict and division.
