SDF Commander Mazloum Abdi Agrees with Damascus to Reject Division Plans
Jan 8, 2025, 09:03 PM
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a Kurdish-led group controlling an autonomous region in northeastern Syria, have announced an agreement with the new authorities in Damascus to oppose any plans for division of the country. This statement comes from Mazloum Abdi, the commander of the SDF, who emphasized the group's commitment to the unity and territorial integrity of Syria. The agreement follows a recent meeting between Kurdish leaders and the Damascus authorities, which Abdi described as 'positive'. The SDF supports the new administration's efforts to stabilize Syria and facilitate constructive dialogue among Syrians, urging the new leadership to intervene for a nationwide ceasefire. This announcement comes amidst reports of Turkish shelling killing Kurdish civilians during a protest near the Tishreen Dam.
