Following the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria, the future of the semi-autonomous Kurdish-led administration in the northeast remains highly uncertain. For years, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) maintained self-rule while fighting the Islamic State with U.S. support. Now, Kurdish leaders face the dual challenge of negotiating their political status with the new transitional authorities in Damascus and defending their territory against potential offensives by neighboring Turkey, which views the Kurdish forces as a security threat.
- The collapse of the Assad regime has created a power vacuum that threatens the de facto autonomy of Syria’s Kurdish-led northeast region.
- The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) currently control a significant portion of northeastern Syria, having served as a key partner for the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS.
- Turkey, which views Kurdish forces in Syria as national security threats, continues to oppose any formalized Kurdish autonomy along its border.
- Kurdish leaders are actively seeking negotiations with the new transitional administration in Damascus to secure constitutional rights and local governance.
- The long-term presence of U.S. military forces remains a key factor in maintaining regional stability and protecting Kurdish-controlled territories.

This is not the old era where survival meant just having food. Today, raising a child requires stability, planning, and responsibility. If we lack financial stability and resources, it is unfair to bring a child into a life of struggle and suffering. Life is tough, and opportunities are not guaranteed. Having children is a serious responsibility, not a social obligation.
