Syria President Appoints Kurdish Leader Mazloum Abdi as His Adviser
Mazloum Abdi will advise the presidency as Kurdish forces and civilian institutions are folded into the Syrian state, officials said.
- On Thursday, President Ahmad Al-Sharaa appointed Mazloum Abdi as an adviser to the presidency, two days after the Syrian Democratic Forces formally dissolved as an independent military force.
- Abdi announced Tuesday that the SDF's dissolution followed "the completion of the process of integrating our forces" into the Syrian state, fulfilling a January agreement to unify institutions.
- The integration process brings AANES-run institutions, oil fields, and border crossings in North Syria under state authority as the new leadership seeks to extend control across the country.
- US special envoy to Syria Tom Barrack praised the move on Tuesday, stating "this is what real integration looks like," as the government incorporates Kurdish partners into the new structure.
- Abdi stated, "Our struggle will continue, to cement our people's rights in the constitution," as Sharaa recently recognized Kurdish national rights and language for the first time since Syria's independence.
