The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) continue vast forced recruitment in Northern and Northeastern Syria, an indication of its preparation for a tough battle with the Turkish troops in the region.

The SDF has long been exercising forced recruitment in Raqqa, Manbij, Hasaka and Eastern Deir Ezzur and the move has led to popular protests.
