Syrian Govt-Kurdish SDF Talks Collapse Amid Renewed Clashes, Future Uncertain

• Talks between Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa and Kurdish SDF General Mazloum Abdi in Damascus have completely collapsed.
• A Kurdish official blamed Sharaa's government for the failure and called for urgent international community intervention.
• The collapse follows renewed clashes between Sharaa's forces and the SDF, despite a Sunday ceasefire.
• Under the ceasefire, SDF withdrew from Raqqa and Deir al-Zor, with terms for integrating Kurdish forces into state institutions.
• The semi-autonomous Kurdish administration in northeastern Syria faces an uncertain future as US support wanes and Sharaa's forces are emboldened.

Why It Matters: Syrian government and Kurdish SDF peace talks failed, raising concerns for Kurdish autonomy amid renewed conflict.
