Kurdish Commander Calls on Trump to Prevent ‘Ethnic Cleansing’

Since Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s army and proxy forces swept into northeastern Syria in October, the Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army—a loose group of Syrian rebels founded by defectors from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s army—has terrorized the local population. Although a series of cease-fire agreements have halted the large-scale assault, there are regular reports of atrocities at the hands of the force, including regular arrests, looting, and executions. Abdi recently met with a group of local residents who said the Turkish-backed fighters seized their property and forced them to flee.

  1. That America pulled out and left them to die is no surprise. Anyone who thinks this is a specific Trump thing wasn't paying attention during the Cold War. Why the Israelis aren't sending heavy weaponry to the Kurds is beyond me.
