The commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Mazlum Abdi, announced that a delegation from the SDF’s military committee will soon head to Damascus to discuss how to integrate into the Syrian army affiliated with the transitional government.
Abdi made the statement during a speech at the 10th anniversary celebration of the SDF’s founding, affirming that the committee will soon discuss the mechanisms of integration. He added that the SDF’s anti-terrorism units will continue to fight against ISIS across Syria.
Earlier, the Minister of Defense in the transitional government, Maher al-Abous, had announced reaching an agreement with the SDF on a comprehensive ceasefire, stating that he met with Mazlum Abdi in Damascus and agreed to a complete ceasefire on all fronts and military deployment points in northern and northeastern Syria, with implementation to begin immediately.
This agreement comes after violent clashes in the areas of Ashrafieh and Sheikh Maqsoud in Aleppo between the Internal Security Forces (Asaiish) and the transitional government.
