Syria: American volunteers fight alongside SDF in anti-IS campaign

Footage emerged on Sunday showing Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) fighters continuing the campaign to liberate Raqqa, after retaking several villages surrounding the stronghold of the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).
Footage confirms reports of Americans among foreign volunteers that are currently fighting alongside SDF soldiers against IS militants, as one of the American volunteers confirmed. The volunteer said he came to Syria, "To help the YPG help fight Daesh, because I believe that Daesh is a menace to the whole world, not just in Syria." He went on to say, "I am very proud to be here, to stand in solidarity with my Kurdish brothers, to show them that the world cares."
Dozens of militants from the so-called Islamic State (IS; formerly ISIS/ISIL) have been reportedly killed by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in their campaign to retake Raqqa, which has been in full force since Wednesday.
