Just in: SDF commander Mazloum Abdi has announced the formal dissolution of the SDF and the end of its mission as an independent force following its integration into the Syrian army. Abdi is reportedly set to become a presidential adviser for Kurdish affairs and will be based in Damascus. He also said there is a preliminary understanding on Kurdish-language education. Without elaborating, he said “it can be built on,” indicating that this is not yet a final or concrete agreement on education.

🇸🇾🇮🇶 Nechirvan Barzani, President of the Kurdistan Region, is currently in Damascus, where he was welcomed by Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. It's the first official visit by the Kurdistan Region leadership to Syria since the fall of Assad's regime. The most critical aspect of this visit is advancing the implementation of the January 29 integration agreement between the new Syrian administration and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Barzani acts as a mediator here, ensuring the integration of SDF fighters into the national military while still maintaining local Kurdish autonomy. Writer: Michael

There is only one legitimate military in Syria, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Kurds will never disarm to join the terrorists, jihadists, foreign Islamists led by Jolani.

The end of the Syrian Democratic Forces. 🇸🇾 On 20 August, General Mazloum Abdi announced that ‘the military, security and administrative integration process has been completed’. This came weeks after the formation of the four new SDF/YPG brigades within the 60th & 72nd Divisions was completed and the Asayish forces took control of the remaining positions in the contact zones following the withdrawal of the STG. The withdrawal of non-Syrian Kurdish forces, which had fought for years within the ranks of the SDF, was also announced. However, despite the official announcement, the process of integrating certain SDF institutions into the national structure remains pending, as does the implementation of the rights of the Kurdish population (and their protection against the anti-Kurdish campaign by Arab tribes) promised by the Syrian transitional government in January. It also remains to be determined how the ‘autonomous’ zone of Hasakah will function, and which powers will be shared and which will be regional. Map: [ ]

The agreement between Ahmad Sharaa, interim president and Mazloum Abdi, the Kurdish led #SDF commander could be a significant step toward a democratic Syria. But many #Kurds remain skeptical. They say Ahmad Sharaa, with his jihadi background, with the agreement might be buying time to consolidate his power
