SDF formally dissolves after integration into Syrian state
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced its formal dissolution on Aug. 25 after completing the integration of its military, security and administrative structures into Syrian state institutions.
Speaking at a press conference at the People’s Palace in Damascus, SDF commander Mazloum Abdi said the decision followed an agreement with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and the incorporation of the group’s forces into Syrian army brigades.
“We announce today the end of the mission of the Syrian Democratic Forces and announce with full responsibility its dissolution as an independent military force,” Abdi said.
He said the dissolution also covered the Kurdish-led autonomous administration in northeastern Syria and all military and civilian bodies affiliated with it.
