Ankara: Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa appointed former SDF/YPG ringleader Mazloum Abdi as an adviser on Thursday, according to the SANA state news agency. Al-Sharaa issued a decree on Thursday, appointing Abdi to the position of 'adviser to the Presidency of the Republic,' SANA reported.

According to Anadolu Agency, Abdi announced the dissolution of the SDF/YPG terror organization at a news conference on Tuesday. This move comes after the Syrian administration and the YPG reached an agreement on January 29, providing for a ceasefire and the group's gradual integration into state institutions.

Abdi previously served as the head of the SDF/YPG terror group, which has been a key player in the Syrian conflict. His new role as an adviser marks a significant shift in the dynamics between the Syrian government and the former opposition group.
