In private dialogue with an agencyNuMedya, The leader of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) and member of the General Command of the Syrian Democratic Forces, Siban Hamo, stressed that the future of Syria cannot be built by reproducing the central system or imposing administration by force, but rather by building a decentralized democratic system that ensures the participation of all components with real dignity and freedom.
“We are not a movement looking to change names or facades, we are fighting for a real change in the political and administrative structure of Syria,” Hamo said.
On calls to integrate the SDF into the Syrian army, Hamo explained that “integration cannot be a call to dissolve or surrender, but rather it must be on the basis of mutual recognition and equality of rights and tasks. Going back to pre-2011 is unacceptable.”
He also stressed that “rights are not the gift of anyone, but the fruit of the blood of the martyrs and the sacrifices of the sons and daughters of this people. We do not accept these rights to be granted as conditional donations.”
He stressed that “the weapons we carry today do not belong to a faction or party, but are the weapons of all free Syrians. When a truly democratic Syria is built, these forces will merge into a new national army that serves all the people of the country.”
He concluded by saying: “Our identity is not a narrow ideology or nationalism, but an identity formed through the resistance to terrorism and the common defense of the people and the homeland.”
