Residents of Syria's Deir Ezzor protest against YPG, the US-backed militia which wrested the territory from Daesh nearly 18 months ago
Civilians fleeing the battered Daesh-held holdout of Baghouz in the eastern Syrian province of Deir Ezzor walk to a nearby area held by the SDF on February 12, 2019.
The US-backed PYD/YPG-dominate the SDF militia which helped wrest Daesh terror group’s last territory in Syria. "We are deprived of everything while the Kurds are selling our oil to help the regime and enriching themselves," said Abdullah Issa, a protester from al Tayaneh town. Diplomats say Washington has also in recent weeks tightened efforts to clamp down on small shipments of oil by smuggler networks that are exported across the Euphrates river to traders working on behalf of the Syrian regime.
