Yesterday at the Euphrates River, about a six-hour drive from Damascus, we were at one of the dividing lines between U.S.-backed Kurdish-led forces and Turkish-backed fighters who played a big role in in the retreat of the regime here. And that road from Damascus to the Euphrates River kind of mirrors the fall of regime forces.

There were regime tanks on the road being stripped, fuel being siphoned by poor people, defaced posters of the regime, trucks with people heading home.

We drove further along to near the actual front line and we spoke to a commander of one of the factions from Lua al-Shamal. He asked us to call him Abu Suleiman. He's the military commander for the operations room. He told us, that the Kurdish-led forces, who he called terrorists, had broken the ceasefire.

That's a ceasefire that's been negotiated by the U.S., but it is one of those fault lines and one of the areas of concern for the U.S. and others as to what happens in this new Syria.
