KURDISH forces were accused of “aggravated theft” and stealing from the Syrian people today after the semi-autonomous region known as Rojava signed an oil deal with the US last week.

The move, which has been portrayed as a necessity by Kurdish officials, has been widely criticised as evidence of support for the US regime-change agenda in Syria.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham announced that Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) commander Mazloum Abdi had signed a deal with the Delta Crescent Energy oil company last Thursday.
