This marks the return of territories held by US-backed militants to the government fold for the first time in years.

The announcement came after the city's residents asked the Syrian government to retake Manbij following a US pledge to withdraw troops from the Arab country. The city was held by US-backed YPG militia. Turkey regards them as an offshoot of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party.
