Friday 28/December/2018 - 03:06 PM
The Syrian army entered Manbij on Friday for the
first time in years, it said in a statement, after the Kurdish YPG milita urged
the Syrian government to protect the town from Turkish attacks, Al Arabiya
reported.
The army said it would guarantee “full security for
all Syrian citizens and others present in the area”.
It was unclear whether the government forces had
spread out into the town, where US forces have operated and set up a base
earlier this year.
