* Turkish military strikes now part of a wider offensive deep into Syria
* “Anti-terror corridor” looks to go beyond normal military strategy
* Reports of large population movements underway as civilians flee attacked area
* Kurds “losing control” of ISIL prisoners
Confirmation now that it’s not just air strikes.
Full scale Turkish ground invasion of North Syria underway.
This must have been planned. No possible other explanation.
Turkish TV announcing “Trump is fully informed of operations”.
(Note: under my new reporting practice I cannot verify this is true I’m merely reporting what Turkish TV saying on this now)
Turkey “to send 3 million refugees to Europe” if they oppose their war against the Kurds.
Just now in TurkishTV.
US govt has informed Turkey of new “red lines” on its military attack on the Kurds.
Turkey will be allowed to invade North Syria & attack the Kurds. But is to stop at a full scale of ethic cleansing of Kurdish civilians otherwise this could trigger sanctions.
UK based Syrian observatory for HR has now confirmed more than 60 000 Kurds have fled Northern Syria - in effect ethnically cleansed - from their homes since start of Turkish military operations greenlighted by Donald Trump & US military against its Kurdish allies.
Some of you will have already seen the footage of the destruction of Kurdish towns with dead & dying civilians.
Could you please not add them onto this thread.
