Barzani: Syrian Kurds suffered a lot as the anti-ISIS war is not finished yet

Kurdish prominent leader and former president of the Kurdistan Region, Masoud Barzani, has expressed concerns for the Syrian Kurds as the US President Donald Trump has decided to withdraw his country’s forces from Syria.

“The recent developments in Syria, particularly the situation with the Kurds there, is a matter of concern. The Kurds of Syria have suffered tremendously under the ongoing war against the terrorists of the Islamic State.”

Earlier on Wednesday, Trump said that he believes their mission in Syria had been accomplished and that they therefore would pull out their troops from the country.

Barzani argued that the war against the Islamic State (IS) militant group has not ended yet, explaining that a great number of Syrian Kurds have been suffering from the deteriorated situation and terrorist attacks in the country.

“It is, therefore, my sincere hope that these developments will not cause more pain to the people of Syria,” Barzani concluded.
