Syrian President Appoints Kurdish Leader Mazloum Abdi as Adviser

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has appointed former Kurdish-led SDF commander Mazloum Abdi as his official adviser, signaling a major shift in domestic integration policy.

The appointment follows the formal dissolution of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), marking a critical step in the government's effort to unify the country's fractured regions.

Regional observers note that this move could stabilize northern Syria, though it remains a point of contention for neighboring Turkey and other regional stakeholders.
