Beirut, Oct 19, 2019 (AFP) — Turkey is sabotaging a US-brokered ceasefire deal by preventing Kurdish forces from evacuating a flashpoint border town in northeastern Syria, the top Kurdish commander told AFP Saturday.
"The Turks are preventing the withdrawal from the Ras al-Ain area, preventing the exit of our forces, the wounded and civilians," Mazloum Abdi, head of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), said in a phone interview.
