Syrian troops, backed by Russia and Iran, have taken swaths of land from ISIS, and the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces have just begun their final fight.
President Donald Trump declared total victory against the Islamic State militant group during a trip to a military base in Alaska, only for the final U.S.-backed fight to begin a day later.
Kobani tweeted that the"operation to clear the last remaining pocket of ISIS has just started at 18:00 this evening," explaining then in Arabic how"after our forces completed the evacuation of civilians from Al-Baghouz, the liberation of our fighters who were abducted by ISIS, only the terrorists remain in Al-Baghouz, so our forces began to move in militarily and engage with terrorists to complete the liberation once and for all.
When Trump assumed the presidency in early 2017, the U.S.-led coalition formed in summer 2014 was supporting the Syrian Democratic Forces as they led the charge against ISIS in its de facto capital of Raqqa, Syria and as well as backing Iraqi military and Iran-sponsored paramilitary forces trying to oust the same militant group from its largest city of Mosul, Iraq. Syrian troops and their allies were also battling ISIS at home, but in a separate campaign not supported by the U.S.
