The head of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces said on Tuesday he still feared a Turkish ground invasion despite US assurances and has demanded a "stronger" message from Washington after seeing unprecedented Turkish deployments along the border.
"There are reinforcements on the border and within Syria in areas controlled by factions allied to Türkiye. We noticed this and, yes, this is new," SDF chief Mazloum Abdi told Reuters by phone from Syria.
