All eyes are on the Kurdish city of Van following a night of state violence against protesters, after authorities annulled a sweeping local election victory by the pro-Kurdish DEM Party and awarded the mandate to the ruling party's candidate. Serhildan jiyane, berxwedan jiyane!…

Appx. 10,000 ISIS terrorists—from 50+ nations—are detained in Syria; they rest, refit, recruit, and radicalize in these camps. The wild jailbreak near Hasakah is alarming. #SDF rallied and fought ferociously. How long should #SDF shoulder this burden for the world?

Thus far, America has been unwilling to respond to deadly attacks on Syrian Democratic Forces partners by Iranian-backed militias. This attack on U.S.-backed SDF disrupts the anti-ISIS mission. It must be avenged to prevent future attacks. Respect to the martyrs.

Today on @AJArabic “Scenarios,” I analyzed the tensions along Syria’s northern border for @NewlinesInst . Turkey’s air strikes and artillery barrages are scaring civilians. More refugees are likely. Will a ground invasion happen? Watch video below (Arabic) #sdf 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

More background on dead ISIS leader al-Qurashi (Amir Al Mawla) here from @jenanmoussa 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Back in 2008, he was detained by US forces in Iraq; he snitched. As always, ISIS is stronger than one shadowy leader. We must remain vigilant. #Syria #Idlib #snitch #terrorists

The Arab rebellion threatens all that -- but it's not just local tribes. Turkey, Qatar, Iran, ISIS, and the Assad regime all have an interest in dismantling the SDF and are backing the rebels in one way or another, which is why we can't let them succeed.
