Participants emphasized that such talks must be held under international sponsorship and Coalition guarantees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second meeting brought together the advisory body, made up of seven components representing diverse sectors of Raqqa society, including tribal leaders, dignitaries, religious and political figures, civil society groups, intellectuals, technocrats, human rights activists, women, and members of the legislative, executive, and judicial councils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al-Dhib noted that participants insisted on the Global Coalition respecting the national principles, particularly the unity of Syrian territory, rejection of division or secession, and the adoption of administrative decentralization as the only viable solution to the Syrian crisis. They also called for continued international sponsorship in future negotiation rounds between the AANES and the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He concluded by dismissing reports suggesting the city might be handed over to the government as \u201ccompletely false,\u201d stressing that meetings with the Global Coalition remain within a civil and political framework, without any military role or actual transfer of authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Samer Yassin<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAQQA, Syria (North Press) \u2013 A tribal figure revealed on Monday details of a recent meeting between the U.S.-led Global Coalition and tribal leaders in the city of Raqqa, northern Syria, firmly denying claims that discussions touched on handing the city over to the Syrian transitional government.
