They are giving a joint presser, very interesting. Abiy calls it "win-win". No details yet. Erdoğan mentions sea access for Ethiopia. But this is not final as he mentioned future talks to detail it. I'm thinking this joint declaration for now is just a signature of goodwill and intent, but...
To add, I still don't think all this is a grand plan, also mentioned by Ragıp. All these is happening too fast for everyone, and while we are slow in response to stuff happening around us, US is very similar in that regard. These are all new, and unplanned things happening around us.
To supplement this, there were no movements today by SNA.
I don't think Trump taking the reigns will be as people think it will be.
YPG can't do anything to SNA with Turkish fire support as well, it's not about the capabilities of SDF.
Very interesting. Mahmoud of Somalia and Abiy of Ethiopia are in Ankara and separately met with Erdoğan. Talks from few months ago were thought to be stalled but finally some movement here. Hoping for a deal two can live with.
Yup.
To clarify for onlookers, the red circles are locals have been protesting against PKK for the last few days. These are the "natural borders" of the opposition/SNA/new government where people by and large do not wish for PKK.
All these cities must be cleared by SNA to both clear PKK and...
"Our people in Raqqa are coming, please pray"
I think it would be better to use groups not in US' sanctions list to reach east of the river. Sulaiman Shah is a Turkmen heavy group from SNA's 1st Corps.
I downplayed the hundred thousand in Sednaya number yesterday but reading the new stuff that came about, it might actually be closer to the original claims. Horrible, horrible stuff. Words can't start to describe it.
That's like a tuesday. Hoping to see a SNA push to Raqqa and a TSK update on...
So far I don't think it will go beyond overtures(like us with Hamas to be honest), but let's see if they are going to get serious. I don't put it above Bibi government to act idiotic to garner quick points that will hurt them in the long run.
Of course not. That's a high bar i don't think we'll see unless North Cyprus is recognized by others first.
Not yet. And calling HTS Russian backed is a bit reachiing don't you think?
I think government have established that they don't have symbolical red lines.
Every country is corrupt to a degree. Azerbaijan as well. At least make sure who skim from the top are your own people so that some of the money stays inside, not with an international company. I've followed this tender for the last 6 years. If it was in any other country at least 50 people...
If you have data to back that up, present it. If not, stray away from secessionary and inflammatory bullshit please. If there were 10 million Turkish citizens who did not wish to live in Turkey, we would not have a country today, we would have civil war.
Already started.
