1/ Latest developments in #Shingal: Yesterday, the #Iraq|i army once again strengthened its presence in the #Sinjar region with numerous additional forces as well as heavy military equipment. Tensions between the Iraqi army & #YBŞ remain high. The YBŞ has withdrawn from several
2/ regions to avoid risking further fighting, the unit has stated. The Iraqi army is increasingly taking up positions along the #Syria|n-Iraqi border & had announced plans to build a wall 50km long/3m high along the entire border. Parts of the border wall have already been built.
3/ Trade has come to an almost complete standstill. The YBŞ also considers the construction of the wall an attempt to completely cut off its supply routes to #Rojava.
1/ In the context of the clashes between the #Iraq|i army and the #Ezidi YBŞ, voices are being raised that the #YBŞ should lay down its arms for the good of the civilian population and hand over all bases to the Iraqi army. At first glance,
2/ this may sound reasonable, and in the short term it could lead to an easing of the overall situation in #Shingal. The Iraqi government has so far failed to address Ezidi security concerns,
3/ such as integrating Ezidi men and women in the ranks of the Ezidi fighting units into official security structures (Police, Federal Border Guard, Army, etc). In the long term, however,
1. I missed @maddow today and just watched the interview with @jrpsaki. She made a pronouncement in the @StateDept presser 2014 that changed my life. She announced the #YPG #YPJ were not considered listed within #PKK #FTO designation and the next day, I went to war against #ISIS.
2. I knew they would win. But they needed our help then and they need it now. Too many times we have betrayed the #Kurds and it's more than Kurds in the new #Syria in #NES we will betray. #Sunni #Arabs, #Christians & #Ezidi can create #peace with the #Alawi with strong US support
3. the extortion practiced by #Assad will become meaningless. People are tired of ##war and #Turkey-backed #Islamists have got to go. Assad and the Russians can't do it because Assad represents an existential threat to Sunni #Druze, Kurds, Ezidi and #Christian #Syrians.
1. @POTUS @RealDonaldTrump @SecPompeo & @robertcobrien green-lighted a genocide against #Christians #Ezidi & #Kurds in #NSyria. They clearly advanced #ISIS' strategic goal. They could stop what Turkey is doing but, choose to permit it. @FBIWFO @SecretService @StateDeptDSS
2. What's the one crime @POTUS can't pardon beside impeachment? #Genocide. We agreed to it as part of the #Nuremberg agreement at the #UN's formation. Don't be dopes. Stop the genocide. Do yourselves a big favor. @GenFlynn
3. Michael Rubin commented on the CAATSA sanctions and though he notes Erdogan is a logical target of the sanctions he confirms my view that the sanctions will make Turkey too toxic foreign-based investment.
1. Over 3 years have past since the start of the battle for Raqqa. Remembering the brave members of US forces who fought to defeat Daesh alongside our brave Arab, Kurd and Christian #SDF partners.

2. Six months after that battle started, Trump surrendered #Afrin to Erdogan after @MikePompeo's meeting with three sanctioned Russian intel chiefs in DC. Syrian Christian churches that had survived since the earliest times were looted and desecrated by Turkish backed jihadist
3. including #ISIS and Al-#Qaeda. Then in October last year, after a single call from his Turkish terrorist business associate, Trump surrendered Gire Spi and Tel Abyad again facilitating a #Christian, #Kurds and #Ezidi genocide by Erdogan's jihadist horde.
1. I know it's not for me to say, but if you ever witnessed the looks on the faces of women & kids being liberated from #ISIS by the female #YPJ you would understand why I think they can save #Idlib. They appear like angels with Ak-47s to protect the innocent civilians.
2. And all but the most radical Sunnis know they'll be safe & need not flee. But this is a pipe-dream with #Turkey on an Ottoman scorched earth campaign to wipe out the remaining Syrian #Kurds #Ezidi and #Christians. @DefenseIntel @SOJTFOIR @WHNSC @EsperDoD @USEmbassySyria
@DefenseIntel @SOJTFOIR @WHNSC @EsperDoD @USEmbassySyria 3. Remember Kobane, Manbij, Raqqa, Tabqa and DeirEzZor. Each time terror turned to joy. 
We need to get the names of the @SenateGOP @SenateDems who don't support Turkey sanctions. They are supporting ISIS & al-Qaeda in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Syrian #Kurds #Ezidi and #Christians. We need the names. Democrat or Republican. The US people will vote you out.
@SenateGOP @SenateDems We know that @senatemajldr #MoscowMitch and @SenatorRisch support @RTErdogan's murdering Syrian Christians Ezidis & Kurds. We should presume these 2020 Senators also believe the Christians in Syria should be exterminated just like Abu Trump.

1. The proposed agreement in #Syria marks the final end of the #Ezidi minority. After #Afrin was occupied by #Turkey & its Islamists mercenaries, the same will now occupy the remaining villages in Syria. The #Yezidis remaining in Syria will be forced to flee.
[1] That is what the Leader of the Free World has done with his ill-considered decision: hospital bombing #Assad & hospital bombing #Putin are supposed to protect #Kurdish hospitals in #Syria from hospital bombing #Erdogan.
[2] Minorities have been suffering under the Assad regime for decades. The US President has now driven them into the arms of their executioners to escape ethnic cleansing. The #Ezidis should therefore consider giving up their homeland in #Syria altogether, as they did in #Turkey
[3] With only some 800,000 members worldwide, the #Ezidis have no choice but to leave their homeland in order to survive and escape the endless wars, in which they have no chance of survival.
BREAKING — Turkish warplanes are striking residential areas in Serêkaniyê (Ras al-Ayn). The village of Mishrefa in western of the city was hit three times by Turkish airstrikes (ANHA) #TwitterKurds #StandWithTheKurds
Update: The village Sefaha in Serêkaniyê was targeted by Turkish jets.

1. @StateDept needs to release intelligence we have connecting Turkish government to #ISIS & Al-#Qaeda & issue Red level departure warning for all US civilians in Turkey. We must face the reality that #Turkey is threatening an imminent attack on our forces to commit more acts of
2 anti-#Christian, #Kurd & #Ezidi genocide and move to capture the #Syrian oil and gas fields we and the #SDF liberated from Turkey's ally ISIS. Now #Iran is coordinating for an attack from Deir EzZor. Enough is enough. Expose Turkey as ISIS.
3. Where are the #CAATSA sanctions? Did Erdogan make a payment to @Trump family related to the Trump Istanbul project @IvankaTrump? @JimInhofe @SenJackReed @RepAdamSmith @SenateGOP @HouseGOP @WHNSC @DefenseIntel
[1] When we talk about female ISIS members, some euphemistically called "brides", and about our Western values of why we should take them back, remember this 12-year-old #Ezidi girl abducted by ISIS, separated from her family, taken to Raqqa in #Syria and being raped there.
[2] Hweida is just one of thousands of children that these so-called "jihadi brides" have helped to get raped every day for years. Think of the more than 3k #Ezidi children who are now orphans and thousands other #Iraqi & #Syrian children, ISIS killed their parents.
[3] Think about how ISIS beheaded Christians, Syrians, Iraqis & burned Jordanians, killed French, Germans and others in their own cities. Almost all civilized states have recognized the crimes of ISIS against the Ezidis as genocide.
