A week-old cease-fire in the Arab-majority city of Manbij has been extended for a few days as American and foreign officials negotiate a lasting armistice.
Matthew Miller stated, 'We do not believe it is in the interest of any party to see increased conflict in Syria,' emphasizing the need for de-escalation.
Manbij has historically been a flashpoint in the Syrian civil war, where the ISIS attempted to exploit chaos but was liberated by the Syrian Democratic Forces with U.S. aid.
Kurdish-led forces celebrated fallen comrades from clashes with Turkish-backed factions, highlighting the ongoing volatility and the human cost of the conflict in Manbij.
