SDF withdrawal coincides with US troops withdrawal towards KRG

A U.S. convoy withdrew across Ali Farro road passing through Qamishli to Simalka border-crossing, coinciding with intensive overflights of the US jets. While it had entered about 100 empty trucks accompanied by 6 US armored vehicles in the morning from Kurdistan region of Iraq.

According to the agreed plan by the US-Turkish agreement regarding a ceasefire for 120 hours, during which the US forces withdraw from northeastern Syria, a large part of the Global Coalition forces withdrew from the military base in Serrin, located in the southern countryside of Kobani, while only a small batch remained inside the base.

Meanwhile, people in Qamishli expressed their anger of the agreement, where local activists carried banners saying “You betrayed the Kurds, the future generations will curse you” and “Tell your children that you left the Kurds to be killed by the Turks”, this is in front of the passing convoy of the Coalition in Qamishli towards Simalka border-crossing.

On the other hand, the spokesman of the Syrian Democratic Forces Keno Gabriel confirmed the withdrawal of their forces from the city of Ras al-Ain, as part of implementing the agreement.

They withdrew from the city of Ras al-Ain with a large number of wounded and the bodies of those who lost their lives towards Tal Tamr, Qamishli and Hasakah, after ambulances toured the city looking for the missing and wounded, according to a member of the Kurdish Red Crescent.

Meanwhile, the Turkish-backed armed opposition groups continued to violate the alleged agreement and carried out an attack on the villages of Wamida and Kfaifa in the countryside of Tal Abyad, amid civilian fears of Turkey-backed armed groups.

The movement of displacement from the villages of Ras al Ain and the extended areas between it and Tal Tamr and Abu Rasin continued toward the city of Hasakah to join tens of thousands of others displaced people from the same areas.

On the other hand, several demonstrations denounced the Turkish military operation, where thousands of displaced people from Afrin in the northern countryside of Aleppo held a demonstration, expressing their rejection of the Turkish invasion and violations, demanding the international community to stop the Turkish aggression.

Local people of Manbij carried out a night demonstration during which they stressed the liberation of areas from the Turkish occupation and the Ottoman tyrant.

Through a demonstration of solidarity with the people of Ras al-Ain, people of Raqqa appealed to the international community and humanitarian organizations to stop the attack on northern Syria.

Yesterday, a patrol of Russian forces toured the city of Manbij, which is controlled by Manbij Military Council, while the Syrian government forces deployed in its countryside.

Meanwhile, helicopters flew at low altitudes in the area of Ein Issa, north of Raqqa.
