Go SDF Go USA fuck Assad and Poopin.

So the kurds take tabqa, but have no soldiers to spare in occupying tabqa. That means they have no ability to claim tabqa as part of their rojava.

The local council is code for a new militia that will have us protection to keep assad out. The fighters will need training fast if they do not want to collapse at the first confrontation with SAA.

Local coucil is for a civilian administration.

There will be, or rather there already is, a Raqqah Military council.

This will consist of kurds and arabs and will be SDF (YPG) trained. A security (police) force is already being trained.

There will be a close cooperation between the SDF and the RMC, such as already existing between SDF and MMC, who participated in the liberation of Tabqah.

At the moment SAA is some 50 kms from Tabqah and it remains to be seen what time it will take them to advance that distance.

During that time, SDF will be digging in in Tabqah and fortifying it.
