| [ALMASDARNEWS] A senior Syrian Kurdish official says the US is seeking to broker an agreement between her group and ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... over how to manage northeastern Syria once American troops withdraw. Ilham Ahmed was in Washington on Tuesday to lobby for a negotiated US troop withdrawal that would secure her forces’ continued presence. Ankara has threatened a military offensive to drive the Kurdish forces from the area. Turkey considers the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), which forms the core of a US-backed force fighting 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS, formerly ISIS) Lion of Islams, to be a terrorist group. Ahmed, the co-chair of the Syrian Democratic Council, told AP the US has focused on "calming" Turkey to find a compromise that would allow her forces to remain. |
