“The democratic forces of Syria Manbij took control of Saturday combing the city in search of the last remaining jihadis” – it is told in the message.
The fighting in Manbij, there have been more than a month. The city was strategically important to ISIS as a major logistics center. In the middle of the week “for the Democratic forces in Syria” managed to get into the city, but to clear it of militants happened only a few days later.
