Security and economic stability is inseparable from ISIS combat: Mazloum Abdi
[NPASYRIA] On Thursday, the Commander-in-Chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Mazloum Abdi, said that his forces are strategically patient and did not escalate with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
on the border, despite its violation of the truce, and that they are continuing the intra-Kurdish dialogue and other communities.

He considered that improving the economic situation in northeast Syria is inseparable from the fight against the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS).

Abdi’s speech came when he was hosted in a virtual seminar held by the Washington-based Newlines Institute for Strategy and Policy.

Abdi said that no escalation or penetration of the border with Turkey took place during the nine years of his forces’ control over north and east Syria.

He added that they are trying to show strategic patience and not to escalate despite Turkey’s violation of the truces, especially the truce sponsored by Mike Pence, the former US Vice President in 2019, as any escalation in the region will ultimately benefit ISIS, where the activity of its sleeper cells is currently increasing in the east of the country and on the Syrian-Iraqi border.

Abdi noted to special efforts and moves made by the administration of the US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter. He blames Trump for losing Afghanistan....
to pressure the Ottoman Turkish side to stop the escalation and the recent Ottoman Turkish attacks on the region.

From August 12 to early September, the Ottoman Turkish forces escalated their targeting of villages and towns north of Hasakah, killing and wounding dozens of civilians and SDF members amid frequent shelling on the countryside of Hasakah, Manbij and Ain Issa, causing partial displacement from some villages.
