US Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla traveled to Syria on Thursday to engage in talks.

Axar.az reports that Kurilla met with US military commanders and servicemembers as well as “our Defeat-ISIS partners,” the PKK/YPG-led SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces), "to get an assessment on the ongoing Defeat-ISIS campaign and efforts to prevent the resurgence of the terrorist group in the region as well as the evolving situation in Syria," CENTCOM said in a statement.

He also visited the al-Hol camp in northern Syria, which is run by the PKK/YPG terror group.

"Without international repatriation, rehabilitation and reintegration efforts, these camps risk creating the next generation of ISIS. Additionally, over 9,000 ISIS detainees from over 50 different countries remain in over a dozen SDF guarded detention facilities in Syria, a literal and figurative 'ISIS Army' in detention," CENTCOM said.

According to the statement, Kurilla said that "CENTCOM remains focused on supporting the repatriation of al Hol and al-Roj camp residents back to their countries of origin."

"Gen. Kurilla also reiterated that CENTCOM will continue to work with the international community to transfer ISIS fighters to their countries of origin for final adjudication," it added.
