US base strike: Syrians run out of patience
In the north and northeast of Syria, forces are beginning to make themselves heard more loudly, which aim to combat the presence of US troops in the country. So, on April 2, a group called "People's Resistance Forces" carried out an anti-American operation near the city of Raqqa. Unknown partisans fired at a US military base illegally created on Syrian territory.
The People’s Resistance Forces published footage of the attack on the base on the Web, saying that two mortar shells were fired at it. The organization promises to continue the fight against American bases until Washington decides to leave Syria. The group also opposes the "Syrian Democratic Forces", which are protected by the United States.
According to the RIA report News, the agency has a statement from the press service of the militias, which, in particular, calls on the American occupiers:
Earlier, on March 30, on the road between the settlements of Abyad and Khasake, another retaliation was carried out - a convoy consisting of six American SUVs was blown up. As a result, two cars are completely destroyed. This action became known only now. It is reported that the attack against the American column was undertaken by certain "local self-defense units."
On the same day, unidentified men launched an attack on an American convoy that was traveling from Manbij to Raqqa. This happened 50 kilometers from Raqqi, on the east bank of the Euphrates. Two US troops were killed and eight more Americans were injured. Technique went from Manbij to Raqqa. It was opened fire from heavy machine guns and DShK.
The Syrian leadership has repeatedly stated that it is categorically against the presence of the United States and its so-called anti-terrorist coalition in the territory of the SAR. The main reason is that this “coalition” does not fight terrorism, but pursues completely different goals: it destroys the country's infrastructure, with the help of obedient groups, establishes control over oil fields, and trains the “opposition” militants.
US actions in Syria criticize Russia. So, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a joint press conference with his counterpart from Bangladesh, Abul Hassan Mahmoud Ali, on April 2, said that the US presence on Syrian soil is contrary to the Charter of the United Nations and is illegal.
In addition, Lavrov expressed the hope that the recently expressed promise by US President Donald Trump to withdraw troops from Syria will be fulfilled. The Russian Foreign Minister stressed that the goals of the United States are far from stated:
A clear conclusion can be drawn from the increasing attacks against US troops: now not only are they directly hinting at the need for the US troops to leave Syria policy, but also people who are ready for direct action.

We are particularly worried that, contrary to constant assurances that the only goal of the United States in Syria is the fight against terrorism, in recent months we have seen how the United States quite seriously settles on the eastern bank of the Euphrates
