Syria holds elections in Kurdish areas after reintegration

Syria has held follow-up parliamentary elections in the Kurdish-majority areas of Hassakeh and Kobani. These regions were reintegrated under government control after fighting in January. The elections are for the remaining 11 seats in Syria's first parliament since the ouster of former President Bashar Assad. Nine seats represent Hassakeh, and two are for Kobani. The new model under interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa is not fully democratic, as most seats are voted by electoral colleges, and al-Sharaa appoints one-third of legislators. Voters expressed satisfaction with the process as a step in Syria's transition.

The first of two #MahmudBarzanjiRevolts began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1919, when the eponymous #Kurdish sheikh, governor of #SlêmanîProvince under British control, rose in rebellion against foreign imperialist control. He was exiled to India for a year but returned & tried again.
