If you see anyone describing the autonomous North and East Syria (NES) as nothing else but "the Kurds", you should entirely disregard them as they are either feeding you disinformation or lacks most basic knowledge of situation. A core idea of the whole autonomous area (most widely known by its initial name "Rojava") is exactly that there are many different peoples there and peaceful coexistence in diversity is a primary goal. It renamed to NES specifically for diversity.
So called "Islamist" groups and opposing States many times sent (later admitted) infiltrators there to incite race war between the peoples because those sending thought in particular Arabs and Turkmen were "being oppressed", but then every time failed because the peoples targeted for incitement instead declared they stand with democratic confederalism, both in large demos and through Sheiks and other reps.
Especially if they try to whitewash rebranded regional al-Qaeda (HTS) and "jihadist" members of Turkey's auxiliaries (SNA) as "no, they're nice now",etc they're either fooled or take you for a fool. Seen enough heads cut off these recent days. No, is same bullshittery as Taliban did and some dunces fell for because "not USA, so good" works same as "not Soviets, so good" oversimplification did before, with same outcomes.
