Syria's president appoints leader of dissolved Kurdish-Arab militias as advisor

SAPO Notícias28 August 2026 at 00:28

Syria's transitional president, Ahmad al-Sharaa, appointed Mazloum Abdi as his advisor. Abdi is the commander-in-chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

This appointment comes after Abdi announced this week the dissolution of the Kurdish-Arab militias he led. The decision marks a significant shift in the region's military and political structure.

Ahmad al-Sharaa, who assumes the transitional leadership in Syria, thus reinforces his team with a prominent military figure, integrating the former SDF commander into his circle of advisors.
