Werden kurdische Fraueneinheiten doch in syrische Sicherheitskräfte integriert?

Im Rahmen der Integration kurdischer Einheiten in den syrischen Staat stand lange die Frage im Raum, was mit den Fraueneinheiten, den Women's Protection Units (YPJ), geschehen würde, denn die Interimsregierung von al-Sharaa weigerte sich, sie in die Armee zu übernehmen.

Nun scheint sich eine Lösung gefunden zu haben:

 The Women's Protection Units (YPJ) has reached an initial understanding with the Syrian government to integrate the all-female force into the interior ministry as a special mission unit, a YPJ spokesperson said on Monday.

Ruken Jamal told Rudaw's Nalin Hassan that during meetings with Syrian interior ministry officials in Damascus in late August, officials "approved in principle" the YPJ's proposal to join the ministry as a unified special mission force rather than having its fighters join individually or joining under other names.  

The YPJ delegation, which included its commander Newroz Ahmed and Jamal, told central government officials, including the interior minister, that the force had initially sought to join the defense ministry but the proposal was rejected. The YPJ now considers integration into the interior ministry a “suitable” alternative.

Syria's Islamist-led army does not include women.

"We found it suitable to join the ministry of interior. For us, the priority is preserving our status as an organized entity—keeping our fighters, institutions, and commanders intact. When we saw a positive approach from the ministry of interior to integrate us specifically as a special mission force, we found it appropriate," Jamal said.

Damascus has not commented on the understanding.

Jamal said interior ministry officials told the delegation they would study the possibility of allowing the YPJ to join as a special mission unit before making a final decision.
