The commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Mazloum Abdi, has announced that the force has been disbanded as an independent military force after completing the integration process into the Syrian army.
The Syrian Democratic Forces, a coalition led by the Syrian Democratic Forces and supported by the United States, had played a pivotal role in the fight against ISIS since 2015, controlling large parts of northern and northeastern Syria.
Abdi said that with the changing conditions in Syria, the country has entered a new phase and the current goal is to move towards peace, stability, and reconstruction. Based on an agreement with the new Syrian government, the group’s forces have been integrated into the military and civilian structures of the government.
This development comes after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in late 2024 and Washington’s rapprochement with the new government in Damascus, a move that marks the end of more than a decade of Kurdish autonomous military and administrative structure in northeastern Syria.
