Back in 2014, the United States led an international coalition against the Islamic State, where the Kurds became one of their key allies and the main force of the ground operation. And a year later, in 2015, these forces created the Kurdish-Arab paramilitary alliance “Syrian Democratic Forces”, enlisting the support of the international coalition.
