QAMISHLI, Syria — Following a flurry of high-level meetings in Syria between Kurdish and foreign leaders, it seems some progress is being made on stabilizing the country's northeast region.
Abdulkarim Omar, a foreign relations leader in Syrian Kurdistan (Rojava), told news outlets July 15 that the United States has agreed to continue supporting the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to combat Islamic State cells, and to maintain political and service support in northeast Syria.
