While the world is busy with Afghanistan, there are significant developments ongoing in Syria. The main development is a statement from Bashar al-Assad regarding the Kurds, who are key players in the Syrian crisis.
At least eight people were killed and scores injured on Tuesday, June 2, when U.S. backed Kurdish-led forces fired live rounds to disperse Arab tribal protests against their rule in the Syrian city of Manbij, according to security and medical sources and residents.
