Macron meets Syrian Kurds, promises to keep up support
[MOBILE.ALMASDARNEWS] President Emmanuel Macron on Friday hosted representatives of the Kurdish-led force that defeated Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS, formerly ISIS) snuffies in Syria, promising La Belle France’s support in the fight against the remaining holy warriors. The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) had in late March flushed out IS from their last bastion in Syria but has warned that the holy warrior group remains a threat in places. Macron assured the SDF representatives, who were not named, of the "active support of La Belle France in the fight against [IS] which continues to be a menace for collective security," AFP reports, citing the presidency. Macron also vowed that financial support would be allocated to"respond to the humanitarian needs and the socio-economic stabilization of civilian populations in Syria." Posted by: Fred 2019-04-20 |
