A showdown is gathering pace in Syria as the country\u2019s new leaders demand that a powerful Kurdish-led militia backed by the United States disarm and integrate into a unified national military force.<\/p>\n

The tensions are centered around preparations to establish a caretaker government to replace the dictatorship that fell in early December. The new leaders want the Kurdish-led militia, the Syrian Democratic Forces, to commit to giving up its weapons as a condition to be included in a national dialogue. The dialogue is supposed to lead to the formation of an administration that will govern until elections can be organized.<\/p>\n

The dialogue over Syria\u2019s political future will be held during a conference, but no date has been set for it yet. Hassan al-Daghim, head of the government-appointed committee tasked with planning the dialogue, said on Thursday that armed groups would not be included \u201cunless they lay down their arms and integrate\u201d under the Ministry of Defense. \u201cThis is a fundamental issue,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

That stance has raised the prospect that the Kurdish-led administration linked to the Syrian Democratic Forces and effectively controls an autonomous region in northeastern Syria could be excluded from the national dialogue and any caretaker national government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
