No longer allies: Syrian rebels start attacking Kurds in northern Syria

After the overthrow of dictator Bashar al-Assad, Syrian rebels began attacking Kurds in the north of the country. In the near future, opposition forces intend to liberate the city of Manbij.

The rebel command has stated that it intends to eliminate the "separatist project" in northern Syria. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of the interim government of Syria on the social network X.

The Islamist rebels cooperated with the Kurds to overthrow the Assad regime, but now they have turned on each other. Syrian rebels say they are attacking Kurdish forces in the north of the country.

"The forces of the Syrian National Army are determined to liberate the city of Manbij from the gang of the separatist party after it occupied the city, in which it practiced all forms of terrorism against civilians of all faiths and nationalities," the Syrian rebels said in a statement.

Military operations have already begun in the area of Manbij. Syrian rebels called on local residents to stay in their homes. At the same time, the soldiers of the regime forces in Manbij are offered to lay down their arms and wait for the Syrian rebels.

As a reminder, on December 8, rebels in Syria announced that the country's capital was "now free of Bashar al-Assad," and the army command informed officers that the president's 24-year authoritarian rule was over.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad had allegedly voluntarily decided to leave the presidency. The Russian Federation also noted that the dictator had ordered a peaceful transfer of power.
