The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) noted earlier this week they are now clearing the village of Baghuz, which is from their point of view the last settlement in Syria controlled by the Daesh* group, of the terrorists.
“We say to those groups who are betting on the Americans, the Americans will not protect you,” Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told heads of Syrian local municipal councils Sunday, as aired on Syrian television.
Assad noted that a number of countries hinder refugees’ return to their home country.
“States that take interest in the refugee issue, handicap their return to Syria… A considerable number of refugees have for the past few years been one of the sources of corruption, which are profitable for officials from countries that support terrorists, officials from organizations that were supposed to provide humanitarian aid, which ended up, as you know, in terrorists’ hands,” Assad pointed out.
