‘You took us to the middle of the road and left us there’: Syrian Kurds fear more upheaval as US troops plan withdrawal

‘You took us to the middle of the road and left us there’: Syrian Kurds fear more upheaval as US troops plan withdrawal | The Independent: 

Over the last few years, Syria’s minority Kurdish population has faced down the threat of Isis, gone on to win new freedoms and built an autonomous administration that they hope will outlast the country’s civil war.
They have done so in large part due to the protection afforded to them by the US military, which allied itself with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces and sent 2,000 US troops to Syria to help bring an end to the Isis caliphate.
