.@nadinemaenza now giving presentation on Turkish attacks on AANES/NES at @indefchristians

Live on Facebook: fb.watch/2pZNHJdO58/
.@nadinemaenza says a lot of people make the mistake that NES is a majority-Kurdish area, but she says its Arab majority area, and majority of SDF forces are Arabic. But its really a multi-ethnic, multi-religious area.
.@nadinemaenza now explaining the AANES system with 7 regions. She recently was around one month in NES.
.@nadinemaenza going into more detail in the AANES system.
.@nadinemaenza criticised meeting between Syrian opposition chief Nasr Al-Hariri with Ahrar Sharqiya commander Abu Hatem Shaqra who was present during killing of Kurdish female politician Hevrin Khalaf in oct 2019. "The US answer cannot be the Turkish-backed opposition."
.@nadinemaenza also condemned the Syrian opposition visit to Afrin, where he pretended there is nothing wrong with religious freedom in Afrin. She said instead of spreading this 'fake narrative', the Syrian opposition should condemn these conditions

Assyrian politician (ADO): "Although being part of the larger (opposition) Coalition, we have clearly opposed Turkey’s entry into Afrin, Ras-ul Ayn, and Tel Abyad, just to mention few issues." joshualandis.com/blog/the-polit… (1)
"We can’t say that the security situation has improved with Turkey’s entry into Syria. The Assyrians and Armenians living in towns and villages along a 120 km border, from Tel Abyad to Rish Ayno (Ras-el Ain), had to migrate." (2)
"Assyrians, who were forced to leave Rish Ayno had to abandon their property and land, which is known to be very fertile & suited for agriculture. The seizure of the land &properties by the so-called “National Army,” ... is a major problem." (3)

My latest: The Future of Northeastern Syria: In Conversation with SDF Commander-in-Chief @MazloumAbdi washingtoninstitute.org/fikraforum/vie… (1)
@MazloumAbdi General Mazloum noted that although there is still a risk Turkey could attack either Jazira (Hassakah province) or Kobani, such a scenario would not be easy for Turkey (2).
@MazloumAbdi “They know that we will put a major fight—but there are larger agreements for now. There are agreements with Russians and also with the US, which are preventing Turkish attacks. The Americans say that if Turkey attacks [Kobani], there will be sanctions against Turkey." (3)
