A source within the presidency of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq has confirmed to AFP that US Special Envoy Tom Barrack and Mazloum Abdi, the commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), arrived in Erbil on Saturday for a series of high-level meetings.
According to the source, Barrack is scheduled to meet first with Kurdish leader Massoud Barzani, followed by a meeting with Abdi. He will then conclude his discussions with Nechirvan Barzani, the President of the Kurdistan Region.
