Tense Newroz amid Changes ---- Newroz was celebrated by Kurds across 
Syria, including in Damascus were people are trying out how much room 
there really is for Kurds under al-Sharaa. Unfortunately it has also 
gone paired with violence, after an incident where a man in Kobane took 
down a Syrian flag, ethnic violence was sparked, mostly in Afrin, and by 
arab tribes south of Kobane. In response people in Heseke and Qamishlo 
took to the streets, which led to increased asayis presences in these 
major cities. The comments of al-Hilali on this situation, spokesperson 
of the Syrian Presidential Team leading the integration process, 
emphasize the contradictions that still stand in the way of integration. 
He stressed their committment to integration, but also emphasized that 
there is no place for YPJ in the army and that no parallel structures 
such as DAANES or Asayis will exist after the completion of the process.

Iranian drones on Syria
Drones launched by shia militias in Irak had been targeting positions on 
Syria, including the american base of Qesrik near Hassakah, where US air 
defenses repelled a heavy drone attack recently. Iran also thretened to 
attack hotels in Damascus where US citizens are hosted. Kamikaze drones 
also targeted several locations in the Kurdish region of Iraq, including 
US bases and also the residence of Masoud Barzani.

KCK disapproves Turkish Parliament Report
The Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) expressed strong disagreement and 
criticism on the report from the Turkish Parliament. The report 
"National Solidarity, Brotherhood and Democracy Commission" is supposed 
to be part of the peace process between the PKK and Turkish state, 
working towards democratic and diplomatic solutions instead of armed 
struggle. The KCK points out that the parliament refuses to acknowledge 
the Kurdish issue within Turkey, while at the same time using rethoric 
of democracy and willingness. This aligns with the feeling many Kurds 
and supporters have had about this process, namely that the PKK has made 
significant steps towards peaceful democratic solutions, while the 
Turkish state continues its oppression of Kurdish people.

Israel Continues Provocations in Quneitra
On the 27th of March Israeli forces carried out an incursion on the 
ground to a village in Quneitra. Similar operations have been happening 
recently, as well as arrests of civilians by the Israeli army on Syrian 
territory, and setting up of check-points. While the new Syrian 
Government holds some strong rethoric against Israel, when it comes to 
action on the ground the STG comes out a toothless, allowing a long 
string of violations of Syrias territorial integrity to placate Israel.

YPJ captured fighters freed after prisoner swap
2 Arab YPJ fighters captured by HTS forces in Deir Ezzor last January 
had been set free with the ongoing prisoner swaps between SDF and the 
forces of the transitional government. The case spread in media after a 
video was published in social networks with the 2 YPJ fighter being 
presented as a "gift" to "Abu Mujahid". In a recent interview with Narîn 
Axîn, back in her YPJ uniform, she commented on their capture and 
release, reaffirming her will to continue struggling for the women's 
revolution back on the ranks of YPJ.

UN efforts in Syria
UN is consolidating relations with the Syria Transitional Government. In 
a recent meeting between Syria's Minister of Social Affairs and Labor, 
Hind Kabawat, with Nathalie Fustier, the acting Resident and 
Humanitarian Coordinator for UN operations in Syria, they discussed 
expanding cooperation on humanitarian and social programs. Syria's 
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates also welcomed the UN 
investigation report on Suweida, where the UN final report praised the 
transparency that the government demonstrated, giving unprecedented 
access to Syrian territory and institutions to the UN investigation 
commission. That opening of Syria to international institutions can be 
also see reflected in new bilateral agreements with western countries, 
like a new signed deal with Germany for boosting emergency response 
centers or newly created joint Business Councils with Italy and Spain.

Conference in Turin on Kurdish studies and research
On the 26th and 27th of March a conference was held in Turin, Italy, 
about the current juncture that the Kurdish Freedom Movement is at. It 
is a collaboration between an Italian Turin univeristy, Garmian an Iraqi 
Kurdish university, Rojava university, the newspaper Amargi and others. 
Many important figures of the Kurdish movement were in attendance to speak.
