Iraqi security forces deploy in the multi-ethnic Iraqi city of Kirkuk on September 3, 2023, after curfew was lifted. Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani imposed the curfew on the evening of September 2. AFPPIX: The US embassy in Syria said Sunday that senior officials had met Kurdish-led forces and community leaders in eastern Syria, discussing the need for de-escalation after days of deadly violence.
US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Ethan Goldrich and Major General Joel Vowell, commander of the US-led coalition fighting the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq, met “in northeast Syria” with the SDF, Kurdish authorities and tribal leaders from Deir Ezzor, the American embassy said.
The largely Arab-majority Deir Ezzor province is controlled by the SDF to the east of the Euphrates, while forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Iran-affiliated fighters are stationed on the west bank. On Sunday, a day after the curfew came into effect, the SDF and the Observatory said the situation appeared to be calming down.
