And so the SDF is in a moment of like a big question and a big change, but it's much more to do with what's been happening in Syria politically and to do with the government and the interim government that installed themselves here and the regime changed. and of course the ongoing war and situation of invasion that they're facing.

So there's a lot of big questions for the SDF, but I think it's important right now that we don't kind of confuse and misunderstand with this sort of parallel process that's going on.

Yeah, so obviously what's happened to North East Syria and North East Syria and to the SDF is very connected to the whole overall Syria process. And you're right, when you hear the reporting on it, I think lots of parts of it can get erased. And kind of depending who's talking and what their angle is or whatever, there are a lot of things left out, not just the Kurds in North East Syria, but...

other minority ethnic groups or like women organizing across Syria, like all of these things. It's a very complex situation, which I won't pretend I can completely lay out and summarize for everyone in five minutes. But yeah, what you did have was the,

culminates in the end of a period and a massive change when as you say there was a regime change there was a change of government and that happened with this like offensive sweeping down from idlib to damascus succeeding in taking over the government in damascus from the assad family which was the end of a 61 year reign which caused absolute jubilation, it's safe to say, all across Syria.

And that includes where I am in, not just me, Syria, because anyway, just, yeah, people were very happy and celebrating, but also there were cities here. When you look at the map and you see this, like, semi-autonomous region, what you had to understand was that there were actually, within the cities, there were neighbourhoods and sections that were still under the Assad government.

It wasn't as simple as, like, the whole city is in the autonomous administration. So here as well, there were still statues of Assad and people took to the streets and tore them down.

And really close to actually where I'm recording this today, there's a roundabout where they took down the statue of Assad and it's been replaced by pictures of the martyrs, so people who have fallen fighting for the autonomy of the region here and fighting for their political system. So, you know, it's very, very beautiful. People celebrated.
