  • Syria's new leaders announced Tuesday that they had reached an agreement with the country's rebel groups on their dissolution and integration under the defence ministry. The meeting between the rebel groups and Syria's new leader Ahmed al-Sharaa "ended in an agreement on the dissolution of all the groups and their integration under the supervision of the ministry of defence",

The article from MSN discusses how Syrian authorities have announced that several armed opposition groups in the southern province of Daraa have agreed to disband. This decision comes as part of a broader reconciliation process aimed at ending years of conflict in the region. The groups, which had previously fought against the Syrian government, have committed to laying down their arms and integrating into civilian life, with some members potentially joining the Syrian military or police. This move is seen as a step towards stabilizing the area, which has been a hotspot for violence since the onset of the Syrian civil war in 2011. The agreement includes amnesty for fighters who surrender, although the specifics of the disarmament and reintegration process remain somewhat opaque.
