A crucial dam is at risk as fighting continued in several areas of northern Syria between Kurdish groups and Turkish-backed factions.
A crucial dam is at risk as fighting continues in several areas of northern Syria between Kurdish groups and Turkish-backed factions. While much of central and southern Syria appears calm after opposition forces overthrew the Assad regime, a patchwork of territorial rivalries in the north has exploded into open combat, sparking concerns ISIS could exploit the deteriorating security situation.
One person was killed and 15 wounded in the resulting gunfire and stampede, according to a local journalist and witnesses. Some residents in Raqqa have called on the SDF to hand over control of the city to the FSA. The majority of Raqqa’s population is Arab with Kurds being the minority. There were no reports of further unrest in Raqqa Friday. The SDF has been a US ally since 2017 in the battle to eradicate ISIS, the terror group which at one point held a large swathe of northern Syria.
