Syria's new administration says some of the rival rebel factions have agreed to disband and merge into a single force.

The country's de-facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa has reached an understanding with faction chiefs to dissolve their groups and unite under the defense ministry. The interim prime minister Mohammed al-Bashir says the ministry will be restructured to include former rebels and officers from the army of the ousted dictator Bashar al-Assad. One major group has held out from disarming so far - the Kurdish-led Syrian Defense Forces, and their People's Protection Units, also known as the YPG.

Giorgio Cafiero further explains the deal. He is a Middle East Analyst and CEO and founder of Gulf State Analytics, a geopolitical risk consultancy based in Washington DC.
