North-East Integration Talks Advance Amid Kurdish Rights Concerns
Mazloum Abdi held meetings in Damascus on security force integration while Kurdish communities report grievances: higher education restricting some faculties to male students, Kurdish-language teaching hours cut in Qamishli schools sparking student strikes, and delayed wheat payments for Hasakah farmers.

Emotions: frustration, resolve, distrust
How it's framed
