(Zaman Al Wasl)- The Kurdish Democratic Union militia has waged major conscription campaign in eastern Raqqa province, arresting tens of men, mostly Arabs, activists said Friday.
The mandatory conscription campaign was launched on Tuesday by the domestic security of the PYD in the town of Tabqa and neighboring villages.
About 30,000 fighters are operating under the command of the Kurdish-led forces.
Kurdish militias have been the main partner of the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State in Syria, helping drive the jihadists out of eastern Syria in October 2017.
