Kurdish-Arab forces do not receive order from US: SDF commander

<p style="text-align: left;">A commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said the forces of the Kurdish-Arab forces have left war against the Islamic State (IS) in Raqqa and Deir al-Zor and underscored that the forces do not receive order from the U.S.

The Kurdish-Arab forces of Syria have left the war against the IS and went to Afrin to counter Turkey invasion on the canton, something that has worried Washington.

The commander, Mehdi Kobani, told Sputnik news agency that a large number of the SDF forces have been deployed to Afrin to fight against Turkey.

Blaming U.S. for not backing Kurdish forces in Afrin, Kobani added that the U.S. knows how the Kurdish forces have been effective in the war against the IS and is worried the operation against the IS is halted.
