A brief journo summary here on Makhmour brings back memories. nationalinterest.org/blog/skeptics/…. Makhmour is the living proof of "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". trthaber.com/haber/dunya/ts… 4/
The Kurds of Iraq wanted their town back from PKK. Their voice was unheard. 5/ basnews.com/en/babat/487459
Makhmour was Al Hawl of PKK, which had prevented the Makhmour population to go back to Turkey some 15 years ago, under the watch of UNHCR. If bad Karma hits only PKK back with Al Hawl, It'd have been Ok- But leaving countering ISIL to a terrorist group is a sec risk to all.6/6
