Trump made the decision to withdraw from #Syria without consulting the #SDF. He also decided to increase our troop presence in #Iraq without consulting the Iraqi authorities.
Both decisions showed a lack of respect for our partners on the ground. @BalenSalih @SDF_Press_1pic.twitter.com/JmGocSTQsn

As my survey data shows, there was overwhelming support from the
#SDF for the US-led Coalition to remain in#Syria. While in#Iraq massive protests call for the US to withdraw. Maybe next time ask our partners first?#IraqMillionManMarch#IraqiProtestshttps://twitter.com/AmyAustinHolmes/status/1181390749838917632?s=20 …Diesen Thread anzeigen -
Erdogan underestimated the unity of the
#SDF. Instead of disintegrating in the face of the Turkish onslaught, the multi-ethnic SDF continue to defend their homeland. But lack of international sanctions emboldened him to try#Libya next.pic.twitter.com/9zJMcljx2SDiese Medien könnten sensibles Material enthalten. Mehr erfahrenDiesen Thread anzeigen -
10 days before the Turkish operation, I was invited to the
#CHP conference in Istanbul, to talk about US policy in#Syria. First I summarized the 7 findings of the bipartisan Congressionally-mandated#SyriaStudyGroup, co-chaired by@dstroul@MichaelSinghDC.pic.twitter.com/hQmf0V0BhxDiese Medien könnten sensibles Material enthalten.

Then, based on my research in
#Syria, I explained to the audience that it was inaccurate to call the#SDF a "#Kurdish force" because it is multi-ethnic: with Kurds, Arabs, Christians, Yezidis, and Turkmen. Turkish media was scandalized. How dare I describe demographic reality.pic.twitter.com/NlmFV8syMfDiese Medien könnten sensibles Material enthalten. Mehr erfahrenDiesen Thread anzeigen -
Turkish media portrays the
#SDF as all Kurds who are all#PKK terrorists. But that is inaccurate. With#CHP leaders@imamoglu_int and Kılıçdaroğlu in attendance, I had hoped the information could be used to prevent Turkey from intervening & illegally deporting Syrian#refugees.pic.twitter.com/cS6EECSmvyDiese Medien könnten sensibles Material enthalten.

Although Erdogan justified invading & occupying
#Syria to fight#Kurds - At least 60% of#SDF members are Arabs. - An estimated 80% of IDPs in the Washokani camp (who fled from the Turkish military & their proxies) are Arabs.@BalenSalih@TheWilsonCenter@MiddleEast_HKSpic.twitter.com/7ah1fi8fuvDiese Medien könnten sensibles Material enthalten.
