Arabic press review: Egypt helping Kurdish-led troops in Syria fighting Turkish forces

Egypt support for SDF in Syria
Egypt has opened a communication channel between the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his main Kurdish opposition militant group in a bid to confront the Turkish role in northern Syria, a report by the London-based Al-Araby Al-Jadeed newspaper said on Friday.

According to unnamed Egyptian sources, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia have provided “major military assistance” to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to aide them in their battle against Turkish troops in northeastern Syria.

The sources added that the SDF received significant financial support from both the UAE and Saudi Arabia with Egyptian coordination.

The paper earlier revealed that the Egyptian government had been providing political support to the SDF, such as opening a diplomatic office and a TV channel for them in Cairo.

As part of the coordination between Egypt, its Gulf allies and the Syrian government, nearly 3,000 Syrian fighters are due to join the battles in Libya, the newspaper said, without specifying whether they belonged to the Syrian army.

The transfer of Syrian troops will take place “after an expanded agreement between the Syrian regime and militia commander in eastern Libya, retired Major General Khalifa Haftar and Cairo”, according to the paper.

“They will be airlifted to Egypt, and then will enter Libya via the Egyptian-Libyan land borders,” the report said.

SOMETIMES ya gotta go with the devil ya know... WITH the track record. (IIRC, BW's Personal Security Details never lost a Principal...though they were kinda over the top about HOW they got that record...)
