Mazloum Abdi appointed presidential adviser by Syria's Ahmed al-Sharaa

Mazloum Abdi Syrian Democratic Forces Ahmed al-Sharaa SDF dissolution Syrian political integration

Syrian transitional President Ahmed al-Sharaa has appointed Mazloum Abdi, the former commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), as a presidential adviser. The appointment was formalized through Decree No. 164 and announced by the state news agency SANA.

This move follows Abdi’s recent announcement regarding the dissolution of the SDF as an independent military force. The dissolution is a key component of an integration agreement reached between the SDF and the central government in Damascus, aimed at merging Kurdish military and civilian administrations into the Syrian state.

U.S. special envoy to Syria Tom Barrack commented that the appointment represents “real integration” and a diplomatic solution to strengthen the nation. While the deal marks a significant step toward national unification, it also signals the end of long-standing Kurdish aspirations for regional autonomy. The integration process includes provisions such as recognizing Kurdish as a national language.
