Kurds Seek French Help over US Syria Pullout, Kurdish Spokeswoman
Kurds leading the fight against the Islamic State group in Syria asked France Friday for military and diplomatic support following President Donald Trump's decision to pull US troops out of the country, a spokeswoman said.
The leaders of the political wing of the Kurdish-led force also said they feared they could "lose control" over foreign jihadists being held in Syrian Kurdish jails if IS used the US pullout to regroup, or if Turkey pushed ahead with its threatened offensive against the Kurds' self-declared autonomous region, Ilham Ahmad said.
