Terror group YPG/PKK intentionally excludes Arabs in decision-making processes in parts of Syria it controls, Pentagon says in report
A US general walks with YPG militant commanders near northeastern Syrian town of Derik on April 25, 2017.
"The DIA and USCENTCOM provided differing assessments about the SDF's willingness to include Arabs in military and political discussions," said the Pentagon's report that is released every three months. "The DIA said that the YPG's efforts to 'constrain aligned Arab militias' within the SDF, appear to indicate an attempt by the YPG to 'eradicate what little remained of Arab autonomy within the SDF."
While fighting against Daesh, the US armed the YPG under the cover of SDF, a terror group whose existence is a threat to its NATO ally, Turkey. The report also said YPG/PKK confronted backlash for "forcibly conscripting young men in the areas under its control."
