The memory of Rojava has departed — the father, the friend, and respected politician, Salih Muslim. A beautiful soul who never hesitated to give his best for his people and for the humanitarian values.
Your passing pains me deeply. You will remain in our hearts and in the memory

Reports from Iran- including senior officials reportedly killed, if news of the Supreme Leader’s death is confirmed-suggest the regime’s collapse may come faster than expected. This could be an opportunity for the region’s peoples to shape their own destiny, build a free future.

A heartbreaking tragedy in the village of Jortunak, south of Kobani.
A young woman took her own life days after being abducted and detained for three days by members of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham operating in the area.

The photo was taken on the sidelines of a distinguished meeting with the Saudi Foreign Minister @KSAMOFA , His Highness Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, @FaisalbinFarhan . Productive discussions and continued cooperation were emphasized.

An excellent first-of-its-kind meeting with German Foreign Minister @AussenMinDE . Discussions covered developments in Syria+Rojava, the siege of Kobani, and the implementation of the January 29 agreement. Both sides marked importance of the agreement. Meetings to be followed…

Proud to have been in the room at the Munich Security Conference during the remarkable meeting between President Nechirvan Barzani @IKRPresident and Rojava leader Mazloum Abdi — a moment symbolizing unity.

Furthermore, the parties agreed to address the civil and educational rights of the Kurdish people and to guarantee the safe return of displaced persons to their areas of origin.

Contains a snapback measure, requiring the president to immediately reimpose all sanctions if the Syrian government restarts all attacks on the Kurdish-led SDF or their partners

@LindseyGrahamSC

The Save the Kurds Act includes:

Imposes sanctions on Syrian government officials and financial institutions, and any foreign individual who engages in any transaction, including military or financial support, with the Syrian government.

[BARZAN ISO @barzan_iso]

Gives the president the authority to suspend sanctions upon certifying to Congress that the Syrian government has ceased all attacks on the Kurdish-led SDF and their partners

[Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC]

Today, @SenBlumenthal and I introduced the Save the Kurds Act.

I believe that there is strong bipartisan support for the idea of protecting the Kurds in Syria and beyond because they have been such a reliable ally to the United States. The SDF – with a large Kurdish element – took the brunt of the fight to defeat ISIS in President Trump’s first term.

I realize Syria is complicated culturally, ethnically and politically. However, attacking the Kurds greatly diminishes the United States’ standing and will hinder Syria’s ability to grow as a country.

To those countries or groups who believe it is open season on the Kurds in Syria without consequence, you will be sadly mistaken.

The interim government’s first move in Damascus? Pulling Khadija Khattab — sister of Interior Minister Anas Khattab — and her five children out of al-Hol camp. Khadija was widely known for her close ties to ISIS and its commanders. Nepotism before justice.
