Kurdish-led group in Syria says it has dissolved after merging with the army

The commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces announced the group's official dissolution on Tuesday. This decision follows a merger with the Syrian national army, marking a significant shift in the administration of the country's northeast region.

The Syrian Democratic Forces previously maintained a de facto autonomous zone in northeastern Syria. The dissolution of the group signals the end of this autonomous governance structure as the organization integrates into the state's military framework.
