In a historic development, the Syrian government and the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have reached a preliminary agreement to merge tens of thousands of Kurdish fighters into the national army. The move marks a major shift in Syria’s military and political landscape, coming after months of stalled negotiations and escalating tensions following the December takeover of Damascus by HTS insurgents.
SDF commander Mazloum Abdi confirmed the breakthrough, highlighting that anti-ISIS veterans will play key roles in the defense ministry, and police units will be absorbed into the national security system. The merger aims to ease sectarian divides and bring stability to Syria, though Turkey remains wary of the Kurds’ expanded role.
This historic power shift could redefine Syria’s military balance and has far-reaching implications for regional dynamics.
