Syria Kurd forces chief says they should be integrated into army, not dissolved
The leader of the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Mazloum Abdi, said Thursday that they should be integrated into the new Syrian army, not dissolved.
"A new Syria is forming, a new state is under construction, and of course, the Syrian Democratic Forces must have a place in the new Syrian army," Abdi said.
"We don't want to dissolve the SDF, on the contrary, we think the SDF will strengthen the new Syrian army," he added after jailed PKK founder Abdullah Ocalan called on his Turkish-based group to disarm.

Iraq suspends licenses of 10 satellite channels for "fomenting sectarianism and violence"
Iraq suspended the licenses of 10 satellite television channels, including Qatar-based Al-Jazeera, for promoting violence and sectarianism, a senior official at the country's media watchdog said on Sunday. "We took a decision to suspend the license of some satellite channels that adopted language encouraging violence and sectarianism," Mujahid Abu al-Hail of the Communications and Media Commission told AFP. "It means stopping their work in Iraq and their activities, so they cannot cover events in Iraq or move around," Hail said. The suspended channels included pan-Arab network Al-Jazeera and Sharqiya, a leading channel in Iraq. The move comes after a wave of violence that began on Tuesday with clashes between security forces and Sunni Arab protesters in northern Iraq that has killed a total of more than 215 people. The violence is the deadliest so far linked to demonstrations that broke out in Sunni areas of the Shiite-majority country more than four months ago. The Sunni protesters have called for the resignation of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and railed against authorities for allegedly targeting their community, including what they say are wrongful detentions and accusations of involvement in terrorism.
