Syrian Army Amasses Outside Kurdish-Held Manbij, As Turkish Force Looms Over Border

U.S.-backed Kurdish militants seem to be in talks with the Syrian regime to hand over the city of Manbij. Turkey has threatened an offensive against the town if the Kurds remain in control. Here, members of the Kurdish internal security force are seen in a photo from March.

Weeks ago, Turkey threatened to send its military over the border if Kurdish militants didn't leave Manbij. Now the U.S.-backed Kurds seem to be making a deal with the Syrian regime.
