    So SDF and Iraq shared intel with US on position of ISIS leader Baghdadi - 3.5 miles from border with Turkey. And SDF shared intel with US on the position of ISIS spox Muhajir - just outside Turkish Euphrates Shield city of Jarablus. Doesn't look *great* for Turkey, have to say

    Una familia consiguió huir de las líneas del frente en dirección a Tal Tamer, con destino a Hasaká o Qamishli. Por suerte, consiguieron alquilar un camión y llevan con ellos algunas de sus posesiones más preciadas. 📷

    Los combates en Ain Issa han provocado el desplazamiento de miles de refugiados a las ciudades vecinas, sobre todo Hasaká, la más lejana al conflicto. La mayor parte de las personas han huido solo con lo puesto y una manta para llevar algunos objetos personales. 📷

    La familia Hasan huyó a Hasaká por el avance de la operación militar turca. Viven en una de las escuelas de la ciudad. Están agradecidos por la asistencia, aunque tienen grandes necesidades, como el acceso a agua potable. Cada aula está habitada por una familia. 📷

    What happened in Syria is like the last season of Games of Thrones. You want to protest for a rewrite of what has happened.

    The US - Turkey deal with the SDF seems bullshit. The SDF already made concessions with the Syrian Government and Russia on their land which they are in the zone and well technically the land does belong to the Assad. Have they been consulted?

    After reviewing all the interviews and updated by Humanitarian Co-ordination office over 4000 civilians have settled in schools in Hasakah today. It is is expected to reach 10,000 by the end of the week. Number 1 priority is water as it is scarce.

    Americans at least left a note for the Russians who now occupy their base in Manbij.

    Ex-US base near - message for Russians ("faggot") and half-eaten food. Guys were in hurry.

    It is sad to leave to Syria for possibly the last time. Assad went to almost losing it all to regaining it all and now has the best fighting force in Syria, the YPG to help finish the rest. The main focus now is to settle the many refugees who cannot live under his rules.
