The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), an alliance led by Kurdish forces and supported by the US-led international coalition,Thursday, contradictory information on the fall of the "caliphate" of the Islamic State terrorist group (ISIS) in northern Syria, although it is believed that the announcement of the final victory is imminent.

This Thursday, a SDF commander, Mervan Qamishlo, he is eager to announce that his troops have "completed military operations" and "completely liberated" Al Baguz, last place of the "caliphate" proclaimed by the jihadists in 2014, but A few minutes later, a spokesman for the same military alliance denied it.

Major Adnan Afrin told the agency EFE whatThe defeat of the jihadist group in Syria is "on the point", but he said that "always" the final victory has not been announced.

The SDF announced last Tuesday the conquest of the camp in which the jihadists were refugees in the town of Al Baguz. The latest fighters of the Islamic State were forced to take refuge in a narrow strip of land on the banks of the Euphrates. It is also badumed that fighters hidden in tunnels and trenches must be "cleansed".

"All in red, it's ISIS, when I badumed power, it was a disaster. At the bottom is the same place but there is no red. Only a small site that will fall tonight "Trump told reporters Wednesday at the White House, showing two cards.

The offensive against the last jihadist-controlled territory, which extended from Al Baguz to the city of Hayin on the Iraqi border, started last September with the support of the bombing of the international coalition and US troops.

In a short time, they occupied a territory of about 54,000 square kilometers, including the cities of Raqqa and Mosul.

For 2016, and after a process of reorganization of the Iraqi army and militias in Syriathis "caliphate" had been greatly reduced and in 2018 it only had a handful of small towns and desert strips.
