The Syrian government has announced an immediate nationwide ceasefire with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), taking almost full control of the country, according to Syrian state media.

Syrian troops fighting U.S.-backed Kurdish-led forces seized the Omar oil field, the country’s largest, and the Conoco gas field in the eastern Deir Zor province as allied Arab tribal forces advanced in the oil-rich area along the border with Iraq,

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa signs a ceasefire agreement to fully integrate the Kurdish-led forces into the army.

In the space of two days, the Syrian military, aided by tribal militia, has driven Kurdish forces from wide swathes of northern Syria that they have held for more than a decade.

US envoy Tom Barrack met SDF leader Mazloum Abdi in Erbil to discuss easing tensions between Kurdish forces and Damascus.
