US supports the Syrian Democratic Forces to liberate Raqa, NOT Turkey



So what if we have to go to Bangkok to get  news  from Syria.  Can't expect US news sources to end the fascinating, demagogic, glitter of Trump!


This is good news it is, if it holds!

HASAKEH (SYRIA) - A US-backed alliance of Syrian Kurds and Arabs will lead the assault on the Islamic State group's stronghold of Raqa, but rejects any Turkish role, its spokesman said Thursday.
The Islamic State group took control of the Syrian city of Raqa after pushing out government troops in 2013
"We will see a campaign led by the Syrian Democratic Forces to liberate Raqa city," SDF spokesman Talal Sello said.
"The topic of Turkey's participation was settled with the (US-led anti-IS) coalition definitively. No Turkish participation," he said.
