Wall Street Journal:

Washington is considering withdrawing all American forces from Syria.

With the SDF losing territory, facing pressures to disband, and transferring ISIS prisoners outside the region, Pentagon officials are questioning whether the mission - which includes nearly 1,000 American soldiers focused on containing ISIS - is still feasible.

Kurdish Front on the occasion of the anniversary of the establishment of the Kurdistan Republic in Mahabad.

Today, January 22, we commemorate the glorious day when for the first time in our contemporary history, the will of the Kurdish people became a state in the square of Chawarchra in Mahabad and the sacred Kurdistan flag was hoisted.

The Kurdistan Republic in Mahabad was not only a political turning point, but also a proof of national identity and the consolidation of the fact that the Kurds have their own land, history and the right to decide their own destiny.

With their blood and struggle, Qazi Mohammad and his comrades taught us a lesson that still echoes in all four parts of Kurdistan:

“Unity and preservation of national dignity is the only way of liberation.”

We, as the staff of Kurdish Front, reiterate on this great occasion

HTS militants published footage showing the humiliation of a civilian from Maskanah who was working in Raqqa. In the video, the militants are heard threatening the man, telling him to “bark or we will kill you.”

An appeal from inside Al-Aqtan prison.

The situation is tragic—no water, no medicine, no food. A suffocating and inhumane siege has been imposed by HTS terrorists on the prison for the fifth consecutive day.

Despite the tragic situation, HTS terrorists are attacking the prison to free the ISIS terrorists inside.

Mazloum Abdî, SDF General Commander on X:

"We convened a productive and constructive meeting in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq with U.S. Ambassador Tom Barrack and Admiral Brad Cooper, Commander of U.S. Central Command .

The support of the United States and President Trump’s policy for the ceasefire are of utmost significance and greatly appreciated. Additionally, Ambassador Barrack’s commendable efforts to facilitate dialogue and negotiations between us and the Syrian government are serious, essential and highly valued.

We will diligently and with all our capabilities work to achieve genuine integration and maintain the current ceasefire."

HTS terrorists killed an entire Kurdish family of 5 as they were leaving Raqqa countryside to move towards their village of kork in Kobane countryside.

According to third-party sources, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have killed more than 1,000 militants affiliated with the Damascus government since the beginning of the conflict, while sources close to the SDF place the figure at over 2,000.

AI-Monitor:

A call between Abdi and Syrian FM Asaad al-Shibani went smoothly, and the ceasefire timeline for SDF integration has been informally extended.

Sources report greater flexibility from Damascus, with a proposal for the SDF to reorganize into three Kurdish-commanded divisions within Syria’s formal military structure.

Exclusive report from Kermanshah

What has occurred in Kermanshah, based on information obtained from local sources, eyewitnesses, and a civilian doctor, is nothing less than a repetition of the Kahrizak tragedy — an organized crime against unarmed and defenseless protesters.

According to this report, on January 9, Imam Khomeini Stadium in Kermanshah, located on Taq-e Bostan Boulevard, was turned into a site for storing the bodies of protesters.
Based on a conducted count, approximately 1,400 bodies of victims were being held inside the stadium — a figure that clearly reveals the scale of the catastrophe.

@KurdishFrontReports

Direct perpetrators of the crime

According to informed sources, Fatemiyoun forces, Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al-Shaabi), and the IRGC terrorist corps were directly involved in this crime.

Shocking details

Eyewitnesses and a civilian doctor have confirmed that many victims, while still alive, were subjected to forced organ harvesting — including kidneys and hearts — and were then executed with a final gunshot.

Some of those killed were residents of Kermanshah itself, and due to the sheer number of bodies, the stadium was completely filled.

What happened in Kermanshah is a full-scale humanitarian disaster and a clear example of organized state crime — a crime that must be exposed, documented, and never forgotten.

U.S. President Donald Trump:

"We have a lot of ships on the way to Iran, there's an aircraft carrier on the way there. I don't want anything to happen but we'll have to see what happens. We have a massive armada heading in direction of Iran."

CHP Leader Özgür Özel on Syria and the SDF:

▪️ “Why do we ignore the demand for democracy through local administrations and the call for representation within Syria as a whole, based on equal citizenship?”

▪️ “An artificial Kurdish hostility has been created. As if only YPG members live in Syria.”

▪️ “Some government-aligned commentators and social media trolls portray all Kurds in Syria as terrorists—going as far as saying, ‘Let’s drop an atomic bomb and wipe them out.’ This is deeply hurtful.”

▪️ “Borders in the Middle East were drawn under the conditions of their time. One sibling ended up on one side, another on the other.”

▪️ “In history, borders have never prevented brotherhood.”

▪️ “Until recently, we emphasized reading the Middle East correctly and stressed the unity of Turks and Kurds. What changed?”

▪️ “We were told Turkey and Syria would benefit together through dialogue. What happened to that approach?”

▪️ “There are around 30–35 thousand Kurds within the Syrian Democratic Forces. Some believed it was 100 thousand—when they heard the real number, they suddenly said, ‘Then let’s crush them.’ No—don’t crush even the last Kurd. Why crush them at all?”

@KurdishFrontReports

Unconfirmed sources report that an internationally-sponsored agreement has been reached for the YPG/YPJ fighters, who are currently in Al-Aqtan prison in Raqqa, to be evacuated to Kobani in the coming hours.

@KurdishFrontReports

The Arab fighters within SDF who surrendered themselves at Tabqa axis were executed and burned by the terrorists.

The 4-day ceasefire has reportedly been extended to one month. According to Al-Monitor, Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani held a phone call with SDF Commander-in-Chief Mazlum Abdi, during which the extension was agreed.

Mazlum Abdi has also put forward a new proposal. Following recent contacts between Iraq and Mazlum Abdi, U.S. envoy Barrack is expected to meet with Syrian officials to convey Abdi’s offer.
Mazlum Abdi stated that he will not accept the position of Deputy Minister of Defense, but will instead propose an alternative candidate.

SDF fighters are currently being evacuated by the international coalition from Raqqa's Al Aqtan prison, which was under siege by Damascus government factions. The prison holds 4,000 ISIS prisoners.

HTS militants have entered the prison while the SDF evacuation convoy is heading towards Kobane.

@KurdishFrontReports

In a statement, the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council said Iraqi courts would take "due legal measures" against the detainees once they are handed over and placed in specialised correctional facilities, citing the Iraqi constitution and criminal laws.

"All suspects, regardless of their nationalities or positions within the terrorist organisation, are subject exclusively to the authority of the Iraqi judiciary," the statement said.

It's worth noting that the Iraqi courts often give ISIS terrorists the death sentence.
