Perhaps that's what we need for Syria—the bells are ringing.
The question of the role of the Kurds in the evolving situation in Syria is really the broader picture. What we know about this is that the people Canada has been closest to are the Kurds, who in the past had a semi-autonomous area that was secular and included women. That, totally unexpectedly, was defeated by force of arms in the recent past. The agreement was then reached that they will now integrate with the army of Syria.
What little I've been able to determine—since implementation was your question—is it's not going well and it's not going to be easy. There were four divisions that were going to be integrated.
The disagreement over secularism and the role of women is one of the stumbling blocks, because it's so central to the Kurdish approach and not so central to the current Syrian government. What to do with the Kurds and the future of the Kurds within Syria is a core issue for the evolving state.
There has been an agreement to have a unified army. There has been an agreement to have unified command and control. We'll have to see how that goes.
