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.
