According to Kordpress, Miles B. Caggins, a retired US Army officer, warned in Washington that Syria's transitional government was slow to fulfill its commitments to the country's Kurdish citizens and that simply declaring rights was not enough.

Keggins, one of the officers of the American army who has a long history of cooperation with the Syrian Kurdish forces, as the former spokesman of the coalition against ISIS, referring to the process of integrating Kurdish forces and institutions in the new structure of Syria, said that it is necessary for all parties to enter into a phase-by-phase dialogue so that each part of the issues is resolved clearly and "all the Syrian people feel that they are part of the country and their rights are recognized".

He added that the interim president of Syria, Ahmed al-Shara, has officially guaranteed the rights of the Kurds by issuing Presidential Decree No. 13 of 2026, but emphasized that "now these promises must be put into practice."

According to him, the challenges ahead include practical issues such as the use of the Kurdish language in official signs in institutions such as the Ministry of Justice in Haskeh, as well as broader structural issues such as the distribution of revenue from oil-rich regions and the integration of the armed forces under a single command.

Coggins also expressed doubts about the status of language and educational rights of Kurds in Syria, saying there are signs of limited readiness and at the same time slowness in recognizing educational qualifications issued by the autonomous administration over the past years.

He emphasized that solving the issue of education and the possibility of studying in different languages ​​can help strengthen social cohesion and increase economic opportunities throughout Syria, and otherwise, this issue will have direct economic consequences for the country.
