Syrian army and Arab tribes based in Deir Ezzor and Raqqa took half of YPG-controlled Syrian territories within last two days. The sudden re-take has been named as ‘tribal coup’ by some Syrian experts.
After losing Arab populated areas, YPG returned back to the table and accepted heavier terms in order not to lose Kurdish populated areas.
While withdrawing, YPG also left major oil fields to Syrian state. The terrorist organization also agreed to hand over other oil fields it currently seizes.
Syrian oil fields can produce more than 300K barrels per day if fully operated. Assuming that a barrel of oil is sold for $60, Syria’s annual revenue will be at least $6.5 billion. Syrian oil will not only be enough for Syria’s consumption but can also be exported.
Such a revenue is expected to relieve Syrian government and people, lightening their war burden.
