US Presidential Envoy pledges support to PKK/YPG in Raqqa

US Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter Daesh Brett McGurk visited terrorist targets within the PYD’s region in Raqqa, Syria.

McGurk traveled to north Syria on Wednesday and headed to Raqqa after a meeting with a council headed by terrorist representatives in al-Hasakah, and also met with active tribal leaders in the region.

He was accompanied by several coalition officials, and they pledged to the terrorists that Washington would support the group once Raqqa was cleared of Daesh.

McGurk pledged political, military and infrastructural aid in the region. In the eastern part of Syria, which includes Tel Abyad, Qamishli, Manbij, al-Hasakah, Ain Issa and Kobani, McGurk explained that they will lead the establishment of an army of 60,000 troops and a security team of 15,000 troops.

The US envoy said Washington expected all the Arab tribes in the region to support and join the initiative.

The US backs the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a terrorist organization dominated by the PKK’s Syrian offshoot, the YPG. The YPG receives military support from the US.

Brett McGurk will be given administrative powers in the so-called Democratic-Federal District to be established with the US as a guarantor once Daesh is defeated.

A similar model was implemented in Iraq between 2003 and 2004 by Paul Bremer after Saddam was toppled.

In Raqqa and al-Hasakah, representatives from the political and military and armed wing of the PYD terrorist organization accompanied US Special Presidential Envoy McGurk.

Sources in the region say McGurk has met with terrorist organization representatives twice before.
