Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Fouad Al-Majali reaffirmed Jordan’s firm position in supporting Syria’s efforts to rebuild on foundations that safeguard its unity, sovereignty, security, stability and territorial integrity, while protecting the rights of all Syrians.
On Tuesday, SDF commander Mazloum Abdi announced the dissolution of the force as an independent military entity as part of an agreement with Syria’s new authorities in Damascus to integrate its military and security institutions into those of the state.
In remarks delivered first in Arabic and then in Kurdish and broadcast on Syrian state television, Abdi said: “Today, we announce the end of the mission of the Syrian Democratic Forces and, with full responsibility, announce its dissolution as an independent military force.”
Syrian state television reported that Abdi’s announcement also included the dissolution of the autonomous administration and all military and civilian formations affiliated with it, along with their full integration into Syrian state institutions.
The announcement followed a meeting between Abdi and Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa at the presidential palace, attended by senior Kurdish Autonomous Administration official Ilham Ahmed and prominent Kurdish military commander Siban Hemo, who serves as deputy defense minister for the eastern region.
Abdi said that “circumstances have changed today and the country has entered a new phase centered on peace and participation in building a new Syria.”
He said the decision to dissolve the SDF came “after reaching an agreement with President Al-Sharaa and completing the process of integrating our forces into brigades of the Syrian army.”
