US forces to complete withdrawal from Syria within a month

The U.S. military will complete its withdrawal from Syria within a month, three sources told AFP.

A Syrian government official announced that the forces "will have withdrawn from Syria within a month and there will no longer be any military presence on the bases." The statement was also confirmed by a Kurdish source.

The withdrawal should be completed within 20 days, a third source said.

The reports come after the US military began withdrawing from a significant base in northeastern Syria on Monday; the area is still controlled by Kurdish forces.

US forces have also withdrawn from the bases of Al-Tanf in the southeast and Shadadi in the northeast over the past two weeks.
