2018-08-20
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are willing to continue cooperating with US-led international coalition after defeating fighters of the self-proclaimed Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS; formerly ISIS/ISIS) in SDF controlled areas, confirmed the SDF spokesperson Kinu Gabriel during an interview filmed in Derek and aired on Sunday.

"The works and programs we perform with the international coalition are not related to the military operations that will soon end with the final IS stronghold in the basin of the Euphrates River," he said.

Gabriel also noted: "We will continue implementing these programs, whether with local security forces, local councils, or even with the Syrian democratic sources, so as to continue the support and training programs to develop the capabilities of the forces to defend these areas and permanently prevent the appearance of IS elements again."
