## Prediction

Within 24 hours, visible movements of Syrian regime forces into Hasakah are likely to trigger immediate, if localized, outflows of Kurdish and opposition-leaning civilians toward the Iraqi border and safer northern enclaves. Many will fear arrest, conscription, or property seizures under returning state security services, especially activists and families tied to the former SDF administration. This will place sudden pressure on already fragile cross-border humanitarian infrastructure and camps in northern Iraq. Confirmation would be reports of new arrivals at Iraqi crossings, checkpoint harassment accounts, and regime security sweeps; denial would be assurances of amnesty, minimal security presence, and visible joint committees with local leaders.

## Drivers

- Warning that SDF dissolution exposes Kurdish communities and forces a regional recalibration
- Reports of Syrian forces entering Hasakah city
- History of regime reprisals in reclaimed opposition areas
- Existing displacement flows along Syria–Iraq–Turkey corridor
