The United States Special Envoy for Syria Joel D. Rayburn is expected to vacate his post, unnamed U.S officials told the Abu-Dhabi based newspaper The National.
James Jeffrey, a former US envoy to Syria, stressed that the US was trying to ensure that the control of the Syrian Democratic Forces in northern Syria was acceptable to Arabs and Kurds opposing the Kurdish Democratic Union Party and did not lead to the formation of an independent government.
The head of the office of the Syrian Democratic Council in the United States, requested the continued presence of the United States in Syria and announced the possibility of mediation by the newly-elected President Joe Biden government to resolve the Syrian Kurdish dispute with Ankara.
