The first batch of female fighters, who operate under the Women's Protection Units (YPJ), have received an extensive training by the the Hasaka-based U.S. forces.
Activists told Zaman al-Wasl that Washington need to decorate the Kurdish-led militia with Arab and other ethnics living in Hasaka like Assyrians.
The deteriorating living condition pushed tens of Syrian girls to join YPJ militia. Each female fighter will get $200 per month, according to Hasaka-based journalist.
