A convoy of security forces entered the Kurdish-majority city of Qamishli, in the countryside of al-Hasakah province — where they entered on Monday. Under the deal, small contingents of security forces reporting to the Interior Ministry will enter Kurdish-majority areas. Their mandate is limited to securing state-affiliated institutions, including civil registry offices, passport departments and the airport, and to restart work at those facilities. “They have nothing to do in the city, all their duty is in the airport and the security compound, and once they finished their mission, they will get out," said Mohammed Mahmoud, a Kurdish fighter with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Security was visibly tightened on Amuda Street, the main road leading into Qamishli, ahead of the deployment. Streets were largely empty since the SDF imposed a curfew, with shops shuttered and heavily armed SDF personnel and local Kurdish security forces spread across major roads and intersections. Some fighters had their faces covered, and several women were among the forces deployed. Yellow flags of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units were seen alongside Kurdish flags lining closed storefronts. However, small contingents of security forces reporting to the Interior Ministry will enter al-Hassakeh and Qamishli to secure state-affiliated institutions, such as passport offices and the airport, and to restart work at those institutions.
