Ferhad Şami

Ferhad Şami is the spokesperson for the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a key player in the ongoing conflict in Syria. Recently, he was in the news due to the postponement of a significant meeting in Paris aimed at discussing the integration of the SDF into Syrian state institutions and the implementation of a previous agreement with the Syrian government. Şami emphasized the SDF's commitment to disarmament as a 'red line' and asserted their intention to engage with the Syrian government as an equal partner rather than a subordinate actor.
