The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) says it has agreed to work with the Syrian government towards a "democratic, decentralised Syria," as it moves towards cementing its autonomy in the war-ravaged country.
The Syrian Democratic Council (SDC), the political wing of the SDF, issued a short statement on Saturday saying it would form committees to develop negotiations and "chart a roadmap to a democratic, decentralised Syria".
Riad Darar, the SDC's co-chair, said on Friday the talks in Damascus were aimed at "working towards a settlement for northern Syria," as it was time to "solve our problems ourselves".
Saturday's announcement comes as forces loyal to Bashar Al-Assad, backed by Russia and Iran, recently took back most of the country's rebel-held areas including the city of Daraa, which was the birthplace of Syria's uprising seven years ago.
