The Echo of the Covenant and the Revolutionary Mandate: A Kurdish Voice in the Journey of Constitution and Land

In the heart of a complex political landscape, the issue of the March 10 Agreement emerges as a pivotal turning point that cannot be overlooked. Our transitional government, which entered the scene with new propositions, has refrained from adhering to the commitments of the previous agreement and failed to incorporate its full terms into the draft constitution. And herein lies the essential doubt about its intentions toward the relationship between the Damascus government and the Kurds of Rojava and their military forces: is it striving toward partnership´-or-seeking to dismantle and deny?

The voice that rises from our conscience speaks with unwavering clarity: unless our constitutional rights are unmistakably guaranteed, we will not accept any terms presented to us—whether wrapped in persuasion´-or-imposed by force. The government’s vision, which revolves around dissolving the institutions of the Autonomous Administration and stripping them of their political and service-oriented character, is perceived not as a prelude to understanding, but as a project to erase our identity. From our perspective, the Autonomous Administration is a solid pillar—not a stumbling block—for reinforcing Syrian state cohesion and shaping it on the foundations of pluralism, rather than centralism.

As a Kurdish component, we aspire to build a Syria vast enough to encompass all its components—a pluralistic state that guarantees the rights of all peoples and sects, where citizens in all their diversity come before any imposed official language´-or-uniform flag as culture´-or-identity. The international powers and the central government seek concessions—they want us to abandon our language, to rally behind one flag, to melt into a singular culture. But empowered by our unwavering belief in our identity, we reject this coercion.

Across the digital public sphere, accurate translations and documented agreements surface in the news—foremost among them, the March 10 Agreement signed between the Commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces, Mazloum Abdi, and Transitional Prime Minister Ahmad al-Shar’a on March 10, 2025. The agreement included: guaranteeing the rights of all Syrians to political representation and participation based on merit without ethnic´-or-religious discrimination-;- recognition of the Kurdish community as an integral part of the Syrian state with full citizenship and constitutional rights-;- a nationwide ceasefire-;- the integration of all civil and military institutions of North and East Syria into the central state—including border crossings, airports, and oil and gas fields-;- the guarantee of IDP returns and support in combating remnants of the former regime-;- the rejection of any discourse that incites division and hatred-;- and the formation of executive committees to oversee the implementation of the agreement by the end of 2025.

The current political reality, however, is riddled with gaps. The transitional authorities failed to integrate the military as an independent bloc, as was agreed upon under the merger provisions. Constitutional commitments were not practically translated into action, leading to protests and resistance to concessions regarding Kurdish rights. It is clear that the government has not adhered to the timelines´-or-mechanisms of the merger, positioning itself under the control of a single party, contrary to the expected pluralism. Moreover, it has obstructed the return of displaced persons from areas under Turkish occupation.

From this, we conclude that our political position is not a rejection of negotiation´-or-partnership, but a rejection of centralized marginalization. We raise a Kurdish voice, crying out in the name of the covenant and mandate: the Autonomous Administration is not an obstacle—it is a path to fortifying the state. A constitution that does not recognize us is not our constitution, and a draft that excludes our dreams cannot be the foundation of our nation. We reject one language, one flag, one culture—for we have always been, and remain, the people of a land woven with many voices and a rich social tapestry. In the silence of this authority, we cry out-;- in our insistence on our rights, we build the dawn of a new Syria. Let the skies and deserts hear the echo of our words—words rooted in justice, in the constitution, and in the right of return.

This is the free Kurdish voice: the freedom of representation and the dignity of identity are not for sale, nor are they handed down—they are earned through a constitution that embraces pluralism, and through a governance that recognizes us not as a burden on the future, but as a partner in the present.
