Violent clashes took place in the early hours of Sunday morning between the
Syrian army forces and the Syrian Democratic Forces, referred to as
"QSD", in the countryside of Aleppo; which caused the fall of a
Syrian soldier, and wounding 4 others.
According to the Syrian National News Agency (SANA), clashes broke out from the
center of the city Tadef east of Aleppo as QSD targeted the outskirts of the
el-Bab city with heavy machine guns, and the arrest of a large number of
residents of the city.
It is noteworthy that Syria's democratic forces in the northern countryside of
Aleppo keep a place in the city of Tal Refaat and Ain Daknah and the villages and
towns surrounding them. In addition, QSD completely controls the city of Manbj
in the countryside of Aleppo and the eastern surrounding villages. These are
not the first clashes that occur between the Syrian army, and the Kurdish
Democratic Kurdish factions in the northern and eastern Aleppo.
According to Hisham al-Najjar, a researcher on Islamic movements, Syria's
Kurdish democratic forces are currently in a state of activity and strength
because of US double support. The United States is increasing its material and
logistical support for Syria's democratic forces, especially in the last months
of 2018 and that is why the Kurds are now strong and enter into battles with
the Syrian army.
Al-Najjar stressed in a special statement to the Reference that the United
States considers the Kurds its right arm in confronting Daesh and the factions
called by Turkey, which made Kurdish units feel like a superpower that no one
can stand in front of.
"The Kurds in Syria are now more powerful than ever before because of the
American support, which forced them to engage in battles with the Syrian army
and made them conspiring to seize the fronts," said Abdul Shakur Amer, a
researcher in Islamic movements.
