@realDonaldTrump Day late, dollar short. When you announced you were pulling troops out of Syria, Turkey invaded. US troops were not fighting a war. We were a buffer and training the Kurds to fight ISIS. Now Turkey is committing atrocities against the Kurds and 10,000 ISIS prisoners will go free

Large number of injured civilians arrived at Tal Tamr Hospital

North-Press reporter in Hasakah "Journalist Delosoz Yousef" is among the injured civilian

Turkish state-backed media hails a “successful operation” to “neutralize” an unarmed 35-year old woman working to unite Arabs, Christians, and Kurds in NE Syria. Ms. Hevrin Khalef was reportedly dragged from a vehicle and shot to death. That’s a war crime. https://t.co/O5hEVQ28jt
I just spoke to a distraught US Special Forces soldier who is among the 1000 or so US troops in Syria tonight who is serving alongside the SDF Kurdish forces. It was one of the hardest phone calls I have ever taken.
"I am ashamed for the first time in my career."
Syrian Arab IDP who found refuge in SDF gets emotional and lashes out at Erdogan:
Erdogan exploits Islam. He has no humanity. We got displaced and our possessions stolen. What is crime of these kids? Where should we all go? Is this the religion he proclaims?
The US obliged the Kurds to destroy the tunnels and berms they had dug to defend against a Turkish invasion, as part of the negotiations for a safe zone. Now the US has walked away, the Turks have entered & the Kurds don’t have fortifications
A Kurdish woman from #Kobani asks a US soldier: “If you can’t protect us, your allies, from Turkey’s bombing, then what are you doing in here?”
