Head of US-backed Kurdish-led forces hails Syrian regime’s fall
“This change presents an opportunity to build a new Syria based on democracy and justice that secures the rights of all Syrians,” Mazloum Abdi, the leader of the Syrian Democratic Forces, says in a written statement, praising the fall of the “authoritarian regime in Damascus.”
The Kurdish-led group has a significant presence in northeastern Syria, where they have clashed with the extremist Islamic State group and Turkey-backed militias over the years.
