Mazloum Abdi, the commander of the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), announced the formal dissolution of the group on Tuesday. The decision follows a negotiated agreement to merge the Kurdish-led forces into the Syrian national military under the authority of the Damascus government.
The dissolution marks a significant shift in the regional security landscape, effectively ending the autonomous military mission of the SDF. The merger integrates these forces into the state structure, signaling a transition in the governance and military control of areas previously held by the Kurdish-led coalition.
