In the northeast of Syria Kurds cooperate with the forces of the regime in Damascus

In the Syrian province of Hasaka, located in the northeast of the country, it would have an ongoing collaboration between the Syrian army and Kurdish fighters to defeat the militias of the Islamic state. It is an absolute novelty in the Syrian conflict, framed not as a civil war, but as a real war between fighters of different sovereign entities, which are precisely the Kurds, the Islamic state (these are not classified as sovereign states, but as an entity capable of exercising its sovereignty and autonomy, however, a) and soldiers of what remains of the state of Syrian Assad. The Kurds, when they held a neutral stance against Damascus, taking care to defend its people and its territories. Assad's troops, which have been identified as a Kurdish ally indirect, because they have practically never fought against the army of Damascus, have granted considerable autonomy, because, in part, unable to control them, the Kurdish areas, where the ' autonomy militias guaranteed, within the limits imposed by the war situation, some exercise of self-government. Similarly, it is what happened in the territories conquered by the Islamic state, which introduced Islamic law, ushering in the exercise of its sovereignty, though he had officially recognized by any foreign government. The common interest in fighting back the troops of the Caliphate would support the cooperation between the Syrian army and Kurdish fighters, who, it seems, is providing encouraging results. To complete the picture of alliances involuntary, there is the action of the US air force bombing from the stations of the Islamic state. From the Syrian side, there is no official confirmation, however, the equipment of several Kurdish militiamen would be of Russian origin and may have been served by the men of Damascus, on the other hand also the Kurds themselves deny any association with the regular forces of Syria perhaps not to arouse criticism from the US. From the political point of view the news is relevant, especially for Assad, who is an unexpected way to exit from the corner where he is confined and can hope for a rescue, at least part of its armed forces. To reinforce this possibility, it could also be the relationship that has developed between Kurds and Iranians, with the latter always faithfully sided with the dictator of Damascus. Imagine a political blessing of Tehran this partnership does not appear too likely. The situation in the area, from the humanitarian point of view it is very difficult, the 300,000 residents before the war, would remain around 120,000 people, who live in a state of siege for the attacks that the Kurdish and Syrian forces are leading to actual caliphate , now virtually encircled. This situation could lead to a plan for the solution of the conflict, which can provide wide autonomy to the Kurdish regions, and perhaps something more, able to generate a form of coexistence with the territories remained in the hands of Assad. It is a scenario that probably would not like Washington, but that could reconcile the requirements to defeat the Islamic state and the geopolitical Tehran and stop the conflict that has tried hard the Syrian population.
