HASAKAH, Syria (North Press) – Mazloum Abdi, Commander in Chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), said on Friday that he held discussions with American leaders from the U.S.-led Global Coalition regarding efforts to combat the Islamic State (ISIS) and to establish a lasting ceasefire in northeastern Syria.
In a statement shared on X, Abdi confirmed his meeting with General Kurilla, alongside General Laehy Kevin, commander of the Joint Task Force for Operation Inherent Resolve, and General Michael Brooks, commander of the Joint Special Operations Task Force in the Levant.
