Mazloum Abdi, leader of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)—a group spearheaded by Syrian Kurdish militias—announced at a press conference held at the Syrian presidential palace on the 25th that the SDF and the autonomous administration established by Syrian Kurdish forces would be dissolved and fully integrated into Syrian state institutions. This move marks the end of years of Kurdish “autonomy,” a development driven by a combination of geopolitical upheavals, the loss of external patronage, and policy adjustments by the transitional government.
