Just
hours after the U.S. announced it would be pulling out of the region
Turkish forces launched airstrikes against Kurdish and Syrian
Democratic Forces (SDF) positions in al-Hasakah province in
northeastern Syria.
U.S.
soldiers previously worked closely with Kurdish forces of the Syrian
Democratic Forces (SDF), led by the YPG militia, in the battle to
destroy Islamic State’s caliphate.
The
departure of the U.S. from the volatile border region leaves Turkey free to crush the Kurds, who hoped to forge their own state in
the aftermath of the defeat of ISIS.
