A Kurdish activist claimed on September 29, that a commander of the US-led collation told “Agence France-Presse” (AFP) that the SDF next goal is Mayadin city in the southeastern Deir Ezzor countryside.
“External attacks on our homelands are planned here.” The commander told the AFP according to the activist. However, these claims are not yet confirmed by any official source in the SDF or the US-led collation.
The SDF will not likely be able to reach Mayadin city before the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its allies the are in only few kilometers away from it. Also the SDF does not have enough forces in Deir Ezzor governatore to capture this ISIS stronghold if the terrorist group decides to defend it.
