(25.02.2019)

Neues vom geplanten „Abzug2 der USA aus Syrien: Erst hieß es, 200 Soldaten sollten verbleiben (IMI-Aktuell 2019/133), nun sind es laut Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (via Bpb-Newsletter) schon 400: „A White House official on February 22 confirmed the revised number and said they will be based as part of the Tanf garrison in northeastern Syria. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders on February 21 had said that a ‚peacekeeping‘ group of about 200 troops would remain in Syria for a ‚period of time.‘ There was no immediate explanation for the revised figure of troops.” (jw)
