I've decided to head over to the new place and stop posting here. Hopefully I can gradually stop checking here too!

@ScharoMaroof My knowledge of local geography is terrible, but if I've found the right place on the map, it looks like there's an airport there - do you know if it's at all functional?

@333mcggg Trump briefly gave one company, Delta Crescent, a license to develop the oil fields and infrastructure here, but they were useless and didn't achieve anything, and then the licence got taken away.

[Charlie the Fox @SabCharlie2]

@333mcggg Not only are the Americans not stealing the oil, and not letting anyone buy it, they also import their own diesel rather than touch the local stuff. That's the convoys of oil tankers that people see crossing the border sometimes.

Manbij

The SDF is cleaning up the remaining pockets of SNA sleeper inside Manbij city.

Fierce clashes continue.
Some places in Manbij have dozens of dead Turkish led SNA members laying on the streets.

SDF confirms:

The Turkish airforce carried out an airstrike on the Civil Council building of Manbij.
That building is part of the civil administration and not part of the military infrastructure.
A war crime right before your eyes - by NATO country Turkey

The fight for Manbij is far from over and the tide of war can change - for now the world should know that the SDF resists!

Celebrations in Hassakeh as the SDF has taken full control over the regime pockets in Hassakeh and Qamishlo.

[Woofers @NotWoofers]

Civilians light off fireworks in Hasakah and fill the streets following the news that the whole city belongs to the SDF for the first time the whole war. https://t.co/GfG8eBySk8

So, let me get this straight: HTS leader Jolani states in that interview that he intends to govern Syria with a system of Councils made up of local people
And *experts* are now hailing him as a visionary and revolutionary?

The AANES (Rojava) has implemented this system from the beginning of their uprising against the Syrian regime. The very same *Experts* who are now hailing Jolani as a visionary have criticised the council-system throughout the last years when the Kurdish led administration in the AANES implemented it.

For reference: every region and most cities in the AANES are governed by a local council which in turn is part of the AANES - most (internationally) known councils would be the Manbij Military Council or the Deirezzor Military Council - Both councils are by a large majority made up of Arab soldiers and led by Arab leaders.

Astonishing how a system is considered bad when a Kurdish-led administration implements it - but considered good when Hayat Tahrir al Sham plans to implements it.

Some real unbiased *Experts* we have there, really proud of the level of academic professionalism (🤮)

If someone from Shahba reads this or has relatives stranded - being held hostage there:

Busses have arrived in Shahba to evacuate the remaining IDPs.

The buses will roam around and blow whistles/loudspeaker so that any IDP who currently hides from the Turkish led SNA can come out when the busses approach their locations.
The evacuation is under the protection of Kurdish forces.
3 emergency numbers have been issued: DM me if you/someone needs them.

In case anyone isn’t aware, this account isn’t affiliated with the Rojava TV network and everyone I’ve ever asked suspects it to be actively spreading disinformation.

[YPJ International @YPJInt]

Because of the current situation and ongoing attacks on the Autonomous Self-Administration (#AANES), a lot of people want to come or ask how to help. While coming here may not be feasible right now for everybody, there is actually a lot you can do at home to #DefendRojava (1/2)

[Scharo Bajalan @ScharoBajalan]

Please raise your voice.

This is a repeat of the horrors of Shingal happening again.

Turkish led SNA fighters are the the scene and taking with them anyone they want.
They are shooting in the air to scare the people away.

The internet has been cut off - we can barely communicate with people present at the scene.

[Jake Hanrahan @Jake_Hanrahan]

Assad is scum, no doubt, but journalists referring to HTS as simply “the rebels”, and not stipulating that they are extremist jihadist rebels, is an insult to their many victims. Also an insult to the original secular rebels who rose up to battle Assad’s authoritarianism.

[Rojava Information Center @RojavaIC]

RIC’s 2023 report "When Jihadism Learns to Smile: HTS’ Evolution and its Current Presence in North and Northwestern Syria" details the group’s expansion.

@revnowhere I still check messages here every day or so, and I have an email - I'll DM it to you

[Charlie the Fox @SabCharlie2]

It's funny, I currently spend at least an hour a day checking twitter because I crave social interaction, and about the same amount of time failing to reply to messages because I have crippling anxiety about social interaction.

[Rojava Information Center @RojavaIC]

Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) have been advancing and gaining territories from the Syrian government in the southern and eastern countryside of Aleppo since November 26 - the most significant conflict following a 2020 ceasefire brokered between Turkey and Russia.
