Syrian Kurdish leader announced SDF dissolution after integration into army

Mazloum Abdi, commander-in-chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), announced the formal dissolution of the Kurdish-led group during a televised address from the presidential palace in Damascus on Tuesday. The announcement follows the successful integration of SDF personnel into the ranks of the Syrian national military.

This development marks a significant shift in the structure of Syrian security forces, signaling the end of the SDF as an autonomous entity. The integration process, finalized in Damascus, represents a consolidation of military authority under the central government.
