The chief of the Kurdish-led force controlling swathes of Syria’s northeast has announced a US-brokered ceasefire in the Arab-majority Manbij area, where clashes with Turkish-backed fighters killed 218 combatants.
“We have reached a ceasefire agreement in Manbij via US mediation,” said Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) commander Mazloum Abdi.
He added that fighters of the SDF-affiliated Manbij Military Council “will be withdrawn from the area as soon as possible”.
