Syrian president appoints Mazloum Abdi as presidential adviser
Syrian President Ahmad Al-Shara has named Kurdish leader Mazloum Abdi as a presidential adviser, days after the dissolution of the Syrian Democratic Forces.
On Friday, Syrian President Ahmad Al-Shara appointed Kurdish leader Mazloum Abdi as a presidential adviser, following the Kurdish forces' dissolution. The Syrian Democratic Forces, led by Abdi, announced their disbandment after completing their integration into state institutions. The Kurdish language has now been approved for teaching in public and private schools, as per an amended decree signed by Al-Shara.
Al-Shara's decision to dissolve the SDF is seen as a significant step for Kurdish rights and a victory for President Al-Shara. The Kurdish population in Syria, estimated at two million, primarily resides in the northeast and parts of Damascus and Aleppo.
