I'm reading the full report of the parliamentary commission to 'end terrorism in Turkey', as the commission phrases it. It was adopted with 47 (of 50) votes. The optimism about its adoption and the road ahead is, frankly, next level cognitive dissonance. www.tbmm.gov.tr/Files/Komisy...

I'm deeply suspicious of any reported agreement that involves concessions in Afrin and Serekanรฎye. I don't believe that the transitional government holds enough power in those areas to actually enforce the agreements.

Several killed between Syrian Joulani Jihadists vs. Foreign Joulani Jihadist. The camp is wide open, its no about escape i think.
It could be that they fight over the jihadi ladies inside the camp.

I see, TurkishโUS tech axis is intact.
We had that in 2018 and 2019; whenever coverage became negative for Turkey, Facebook and Twitter jumped in. Twitter, even before Musk, was a valuable tool in the hands of authoritarian regimes.

Good News, besieged Kurdish fighters were evacuated from the prison in Raqqa with US and French mediation, i guess the bigger concern was the fate of the ISIS terrorists, anyway they arrived in the snowy Kobane in the morning hours. Around 1000 fighters who will strengthen the defense lines there
