US CENTCOM Commander Discusses ISIS Threat with SDF Leadership in Syria
The U.S. CENTCOM Commander General Michael Kurilla met the SDF leader Mazloum Abdi to address the ISIS threat in northeastern Syria, specifically the challenges related to over 9,000 detained ISIS members.
On Thursday, General Michael Kurilla, the Commander of the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), engaged in discussions with Mazloum Abdi, the Commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), at the Al-Hol refugee camp in northeastern Syria. The talks centered on the current status of ISIS operations within northeastern Syria, particularly the significant number of over 9,000 ISIS members detained in territories controlled by the SDF.
This meeting takes place amidst ongoing concerns about ISIS’s activities in Syria. The SDF plays a crucial role in the fight against ISIS and manages several detention facilities housing thousands of ISIS affiliates. The situation in Al-Hol, a camp for internally displaced persons, remains critical, as it is a hotspot for potential ISIS resurgence and humanitarian challenges.
The meeting between General Kurilla and General Abdi underscores the continued collaboration between U.S. forces and the SDF in addressing the threats posed by ISIS in Syria. Their discussions reflect the ongoing strategies to maintain security in the region and manage the situation of detained ISIS members.
