Kurdish-led group in Syria says it has dissolved after merging with the army
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — The commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces announced Tuesday the official dissolution of the group, which merged with the Syrian army. The SDF once governed a de facto autonomous region in northeast Syria. The move came after the group lost most of its territory to a government offensive in January. In a press conference at the presidential palace in Damascus, Mazloum Abdi stated the SDF had completed its merger with the Syrian army and would no longer function as an independent force.
