Syria: NGOs, US strengthen military presence in north-east

(ANSAMed) – BEIRUT, APRIL 30 – US military forces are expanding their presence in the north and north-east of Syria, as reported today by the National Observatory for Human Rights in Syria, which has been using a dense network of sources.

According to sources, the US military has in recent weeks stepped up the sending of reinforcements and military vehicles to two bases along the Euphrates River: one in Tabqa in the Raqqa region and one in Manbij in the Aleppo region.

These are bases previously managed by the US-led anti-Isis Coalition but later abandoned after the territorial partition of the area between the United States and Russia.

For its part, the Russian military presence in north-eastern Syria has expanded in recent months in the Qamishli and Hasake area, in areas adjacent to those where the US military has been deployed.

According to sources, the north and north-east of Syria is increasingly underpinned by Russian, US, Turkish, Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK) and Syrian government military bases.
