Member of the 137th Artillery Regiment (claimed 17th Division although the unit is historically 7th Division) killed in Harbisha #DeirEzzor just east of #Sukhna #Homs wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=3…
1. Though the #SDF have eliminated ISIS' hold on territory in North and East Syrian Autonomous Administration zone, there remains a wide-spread area across the Euphrates in the Badia dessert that is still occupied by ISIS including its leaders. #Afrin is also infested with ISIS.
2. The recent reports of Iranian backed forces being ambushed in #Badia by #ISIS may evidence that this terrorist zone is blocking the #IRGC from establishing it's road to Baghdad. I think it would be folly to permit ISIS to remain in control of any of Syria or #Iraq.
3. Three facts need to be accepted by Baghdad and #Turkey:
A. The SDF are not separatists. They are loyal Syrians who seek a federal Syria free from Assad's brutal dictatorship.
B. Assad cannot win a fair and free election that is mandated under Geneva.
