Syria's reunification and the end of the YPG, dailysabah.com, January 29,
2026
...The tension that began in the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh
neighborhoods of Allelpo in the first week of January 2026 culminated in
the Syrian army gaining complete control of the area west of the
Euphrates...
However the most critical development occurred with the defection of Arab
tribes. In areas with a high Arab population, such as Deir el-Zour And
Raqqa, the tribes' coordination with Damascus ended the YPG's dominance in
these regions within days.
Having lost 75% of the territory they controlled in an almost frantic
retreat, the YPG'S influence has effectively disintegrated, leaving it
isolated in the Syrian theatre...
The US withdrawal from Syria, leaving the YPG to its fate, has been a
strategic turning point that has altered all the balances in the region.
