Syria's President Ahmed al-Sharaa has taken a significant step towards reconciliation with the Kurdish minority by granting them national language status through a recent decree.
This move marks a historic first in formal recognition of Kurdish national rights since Syria gained independence in 1946. The decision comes as tensions between the government and Kurdish communities have been escalating following clashes in recent days.
In acknowledging Kurdish as a national language, al-Sharaa appears to be signaling his administration's commitment to addressing long-standing grievances and promoting greater inclusivity among Syria's diverse populations.
While details of the decree are still emerging, its implications for the Kurdish minority and their place within Syrian society remain significant.
