Syrian President Appoints Kurdish Leader Mazloum Abdi Adviser After Integration Deal
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa appointed Kurdish leader Mazloum Abdi as a presidential adviser following an integration deal with Damascus. Abdi, former leader of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), announced the dissolution of the SDF as part of this agreement to integrate Kurdish forces into the Syrian army. The deal marks a significant step by Syria's new authorities to extend state control nationwide, ending Kurdish aspirations for autonomy. US envoy Tom Barrack praised the integration as a diplomatic solution strengthening Syria's sovereignty.
