We do not negotiate with terrorists?
Details Of Preliminary Agreement Between ISIS And US-led Coalition Revealed
The US-led coalition and ISIS leaders in the middle Euphrates River Valley have reached an initial agreement after days of negotiations, the Deir Ezzor 24 outlet reported on February 9 citing special sources.
Under the agreement, the coalition will allow the terrorist group’s leaders and fighters to withdraw to an unspecified area. The sources believe that this area will be the al-Anbar desert in western Iraq or the desert near al-Tanaf in southeastern Syria, where a U.S. base is located.
The remaining women and injured ISIS fighters will be allowed to enter the areas controlled by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). In exchange for that, the terrorist group will reportedly release several captives.
“The upcoming two days will witness the group [ISIS] final withdrawal from eastern Euphrates under the agreement … The agreement will be sponsored and directly protected by the US-led coalition,” Deir Ezzor 24 quoted one of its sources as saying.
Earlier, the SDF announced that it had launched its final attack on the ISIS-held pocket in the Euphrates Valley. However, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said that the coalition and the terrorist group are still negotiating.
The SDF has a long history of faking battles against ISIS in order to cover its deals with the terrorist group. In October of 2017, the Kurdish group was claiming that its fighters are storming the last strongholds of ISIS inside the city of Raqqa, while in reality the terrorists were being transferred with their weapons to Deir Ezzor. This could be the case in the Euphrates Valley now.

US-led Coalition Is Still Negotiating With ISIS In Euphrates Valley
The US-led coalition is still negotiating with the remaining ISIS fighters in the middle Euphrates River Valley, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) revealed on February 9.
According to the UK-based monitoring group, the terrorist group’s leaders are still insisting that the coalition should allow them and their families to withdraw to a safe area. It remains unclear if this area will be located inside Syria or Iraq.
“The currently calmness was interrupted by several strikes by the coalition and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in what appears to be an attempt to pressure the group [ISIS] into accepting any settlement,” the SHOR’s report reads.
ISIS fighters are currently besieged within a 4km2 pocket few kilometers away from the Iraqi border. Over the last two months, more than 3,400 terrorists fled the battlefield and surrendered to US-backed forces.
The governments of Syria and Iraq will not likely facilitate any deal between the US-led coalition and ISIS. This could force the coalition and its local proxies to launch a final attack on the ISIS-held pocket.
