France's Macron vows support for northern Syrians, Kurdish militiaBy John Irish and Marine Pennetier PARIS (Reuters) - France's president on Thursday assured the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) of Paris' support to stabilise northeastern Syria against Islamic State, and Kurdish officials said he had committed to sending troops to the region.
