On Friday the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) agreed to resume the ‘Wrath of the Euphrates’ campaign against the ISIS HQ in Raqqa, departing from Tall Saman which they captured in November. Currently the forefront of the democratic forces led by the YPG / YPJ is 30 km from Ar Raqqah, capital of fundamentalist Syria.

Hopefully they now have guarantees that Turkey will be restrained.
The SDF was set up by the Kurdish YPG/YPJ rebels as a non ethnic and non religion based Coalition.
