A short-lived truce between the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Islamist Turkish proxies, the Syrian National Army (SNA), has collapsed. The breakdown is attributed to Turkey's unwillingness to compromise. The SDF and SNA remain locked in one of the last major conflicts of the Syrian Civil War.
The Syrian Democratic Forces , a Kurdish-led militia allied with America, confirmed on Monday a short-lived truce with Islamist Turkish proxies in the country had collapsed due to Turkey ’s intransigence.between the SDF and the Syrian National Army – an Islamist coalition that evolved out of the Free Syrian Army into an informal Turkish proxy actor – are some of the last fighting remaining in the over decade-old Syrian Civil War.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to Ankara last week in an attempt to stop America’s NATO ally from endorsing such an attack on a key American collaborating force. The SDF announced on December 11 that Washington had brokered abetween it and the SNA in the northern city of Manbij, which the SDF controlled since liberating it from the Islamic State in 2017.
“The US-led mediation efforts to declare a permanent truce in the Manbij and Kobani regions were unsuccessful due to Turkey’s approach in dealing with the mediation efforts and its evasion to accept key points,” SDF spokesperson Farhad Shami said in a social media statement, according to the Kurdish outlet. Shami claimed that Turkey was preventing civilians from evacuating Manbij to avoid jihadist rule.
