It is a sparsely populated, predominantly Arab area. The American forces have already withdrawn from four cross-Border positions, but they have not withdrawn from any positions in the direction of the East and the West.

Similarly, the major Kurdish towns along The Border , Kobane , Qamishili and others - stay calm. There was no call for people to evacuate.
