    Bottom line: it’s shameful to leave partners to their fate and the mercies of hostile actors with no thought, plan or process in place. I wish my former SDF colleagues the best as they find new patrons. We won a war together. That’s something nobody can take away from us.

    Here’s the view from the outside.

    This is how Turkey is oppressing Kurdish people and silencing any opposition. The footage from Amed (Diyarbakır) branch of HDP (Peoples' Democratic Party), the only party in parliam…

    Police in Turkey block protesters in Diyarbakir from leaving HDP offices so that they can’t go on a Rojava solidarity march. All of the protesters in this video will be arrested on terror charges.

    Turkish police blocks Kurds in Amed from leaving HDP building for a rally in solidarity with Rojava.

    Incredible. The US has abandoned the YPG, refused to help them as Turkish mercenaries (many acting and sounding exactly like jihadists) slaughter their people, and is now telling them they’re not allowed to make any alliances to save themselves either.

    BREAKING: There are unconfirmed reports that the US has informed the SDF that they will not allow Syrian government forces to move into SDF areas. More details as they're available.

    Very close call. As usual Lindsey Hilsum is doing excellent work in NE Syria right now.

    We joined a mixed military/civilian convoy heading towards Ras al Ayn. We did not go all the way. As they entered the front line town a Turkish airstrike hit. I don’t know how many of these people survived.

    Aris is on fire tonight. Very frank and correct takes on the state of all of this.

    Except everyone who made this happen who insisted it was actually the only and best solution

    Confirmed: Assad forces to take over key points of Rojava amid rampant violence from Turkey and the mercenaries, and US abandonment. This is a horrible result. Remember, no one in Rojava wants this but they want less to be slaughter by proxy forces.

    These are the locals currently slaughtering people by the side of the road: that’s why they weren’t used

    Had the US used locals to recapture Raqqa, Hasaka and Deir Ezzor from ISIS, the process today would not have been mere handover of areas to the Assad regime.…

    One of the most despicable but expected results of this is the architects of this chaos suddenly amassing an extremely recent record of dissent to the policies they’ve spent years agitating for- because they saw the wind blowing in a different direction, some faster than others

    The fruits of Jeffrey’s Syria policy are now clearly apparent, as anyone who actually had any genuine knowledge of the region or wasn’t a direct propagandist for Erdogan long warned. Will Jeffrey be held to account for this disaster? Will his thinktank minions?

    This Thursday, Amb Jeffrey (US /C- Envoy) is testifying to on 's war in . already told us his demographic warfare plan at UNGA. But HFAC should ask him about backed proxies now committing atrocities. …

    Twitter is absolutely incompetent in identifying which posts violate rules and which don't. Researchers often get suspended based on innocent posts, while extremists are free to spread their propaganda here.

    Three days ago I was unjustifiably locked out from my Twitter account because I posted about the Halle shooter.

    The YPG uniform claim (previous tweet in this thread) is interesting if true. You might have noticed (been confirmed to me too) that YPG are not wearing any uniforms when fighting. Maybe this is why. Have been told though it’s because they’re targeted by uniform. Who knows.

    Big if true.

    URGENT: US official tells me the situation in NE Syria is deteriorating rapidly. US Forces are at risk of being isolated and the risk of confrontation between Turkish proxies and US Forces is high. Extremist Turkish proxies are wearing SDF uniforms and killing civilians.

    Horrible turn of events if true: Now that US troops are leaving, the Regime might be entering Kobane and Manbij. Deal with the devil to save what’s left. In the long run it will backfire horribly, no doubt.

    Important news. AlMayadeen (a TV channel close to the Syrian regime) reports that Syrian army will enter Manbij and Kobani in the next 48 hrs. …

    Lots of talk about also fighting for the Assyrians, Armenians, Chaldeans, Syriacs, Arabs, and Turkmen allied with YPG in Rojava too. (“EtHnOsTaTe” folk stay mad)
