The SDF stressed that it had captured 52,000km2 in northeastern Syria and rescued nearly “5,000 million people”. According to the group, about 11,000 of its members were killed during the fight with ISIS.
In the same statement, the US-backed formation demanded the Damascus government to recognize its authority over northeastern Syria.
