Syrian Kurds hand over prison to government troops

Syrian Kurds hand over prison to government troops

The Kurds in Syria are giving up control of some areas to the Syrian government.

They have handed over a prison to the government troops.

This is happening because there is a deal to bring the Kurdish-run areas under the control of the central government.

The Kurds have been running their own areas for the last decade.

The government wants the Kurds to join their army and give up control of prisons and camps.

There is a deadline for the Kurds to agree to this deal.

If they don't, there might be more fighting.

The United States and France are trying to help make sure the deal works and that everyone is safe.
