How the 🇹🇷 occupation policy looks like in different parts of #Rojava and why we have to strengthen the #resistance against turkish fascism

A Thread ⬇️ Image
For years, the Turkish state intervened in #Syria primarily through the Islamic State and other jihadist groups.

After it became clear that the Syrian Democratic Forces SDF would win the war against Daesh the Turkish state realized that it would have to intervene directly. Image
The first target was the region between Afrin and #Manbij: In August 2016, Turkey began to occupy the region together with Islamist mercenaries.

Officially, it turned against IS, but mainly the SDF was attacked. The main goal of the 🇹🇷 regime was to isolate Afrin. Image

Happy new year from all at ICCT! 2019 saw the continued aftermath of the fall of the caliphate, the (attempted) returns and prosecutions of FTFs, and the persistent rise of right-wing extremist attacks in the West. Take a look back at 2019 through some of this year's research! Image
With the end of the caliphate came the detention of #ISIS fighters, supporters, and innocent civilians alike in camps like #alHol and #AinIssa; @GinaAVale of @ICSR_Centre and @warstudies analysed the role of IS-affiliated women in these camps and beyond. icct.nl/publication/wo…
During the caliphate, ISIS specifically targeted children and adolescents, combining religious indoctrination and weapons training to mould them into child soldiers. @janilkiz provided recommendations for the psychosocial care for these ex-child soldiers.

Two independent sources have ID’d two of the #IslamicState women from #Belgium escaped from #SDF camp in #AlHol months before the Turkish offensive already. They appear to be two of our most dangerous ones (1/5) hln.be/nieuws/buitenl…
Kaoutar Bioui (32), aka Umm Haniefa, is the wife of former #Shariah4Belgium headpiece Hicham Chaïb. He appeared in an official #IslamicState video shortly after the #BrusselsAttacks, executing a prisoner with a shot in the head (2/5)
Rahma Benmezian (31), aka Umm Nusaiba, is the sister of one of the women who escaped last month from #SDF camp #AinIssa and was recently caught in #Turkey after crossing the border near Kilis (3/5)

1. Ongoing thread covering #IS’s response to and comms around recent developments in northern #Syria. Focus will be on camps, prisons and tactics.
2. 9 Oct: Something weird going on in #Raqqa, which was, per #SDF reports last night, subject to a “large-scale assault” by #IS. Meanwhile, total radio silence from #IS.
3. This is strange. When #IS has mounted flash urban assaults in years gone by, it has intensively reported on them, often as the attacks were ongoing. Think #Palmyra, Dec 16; Kirkuk, Oct 16, #Rutbah, May 16, #Kobane, Jun 15.
