Fidan called Ahmed Şara 2 times Reis in the press-conference.
He's born 1982, so very young.
This visit has given him lots of legitimacy, he could rule for decades in Syria backed by vast majority of Sunni voters.
It looks to me that Ahmed Şara will be around even after transition period.
With a likely Erdogan meeting he'll cement his position.
Almost no grey hair, very young

Oh please no.....
With every passing day, the PKK gets stronger in Syria and exerts more pressure on the US to stay in Syria
Translation:
US soldiers are making intense efforts to extend the ceasefire in Ayn al-Arab.

Israeli Broadcasting Authority: Israel is concerned about Türkiye's intention to launch a large-scale military operation against the SDF in northern Syria.
So everything in middle east should be done according to Isreals will and fancy.

I thought SMO was going to Ayn El Arab today. But YPG is attacking the Manbij countryside. It looks like they captured several bridges and still no word on the operation.

The bridge area was never fully taken under control, it was always a give and take. YPG/PKK launched an offensive but i very much doubt that they can keep those few villages.

The area is already back under SNA control. PKK used tunnel to launch a surprise attack. The whole region is infested with their tunnels...

Nope they mostly came over the bridge, since their are footages of them moving in with MRAP's. SNA even captured one.
And yes they pushed the YPG/PKK back and recaptured the lost positions.

From twitter sources:
The SNA managed to retake some of the villages from the YPG
The main problem that the SNA currently facing are the tunnels; they are large enough to accomodate tanks and armored vehicles underground away from the enemy front lines so that the YPG can then strike the SNA from the back and catch them off-guard
The YPG took over those villages by attacking the backlines of the SNA which forced the SNA to retreat in order to regroup and then retook some villages again
The greatest problem that the SNA is facing rn is finding the entrance to those tunnels. Everytime, the YPG comes from a different tunnels just like rats which makes it difficult to respond and finding each and every tunnel before reaching Ayn-Al-Arab is a fool's errand since you will be similar to those who circles around a hornet's nest naked;i-e, without protection
That is why the YPG js trying to prevent Turkey from conducting a military operation no matter the cost. If Turkey captured Ayn-Al-Arab (Kobani), then they would be at the center/juncture of all the PKK tunnel network in most of Syria; thus, degrading their most feared weapon and possibly destroying their supply routes and logistics
Honestly, I can even bet that you will have some tunnels reaching all the way inside Turkey and if it got revealed to the world, then the West will never ever be able to have any legitimacy for protecting the YPG and that is why the WEST is so fervently trying to prevent Turkey from conducting an operation against Ayn-Al-Arab (Kobani)

The Western media always cursed and rejected the Hamas-tunnels like they were the end of the world, but there is NOT ONE pen or ballpoint in the Western papers describing the PKK-tunnels.
And there is NOT ONE Western company that would help Hamas to build a tunnel, but they build the PKK-tunnels with love.

SNA is still cool, but these guys with the Pusu are cooler
Before an operation happens, there are things which must be coordinated with Julani.
Despite the heavy clashes we are still at the preparation phase. This is not only a military operation, but is also concerning the political map of Syria.
Details like the posibility for a political representation of the SDF, the call for dropping arms, the future of the fight against the Islamic State, the responsibility and the security mechanism when it comes to the IS prisons and related facilities like the Al-Hol camp, ensuring the safety of Coalition forces stationed in Syria during the whole process, the future role of the Coalition are all crucial points when it comes to the future of Syria.
I expect soon for the government in Syria to discuss these points in detail with SDF/PKK and Coalition representatives, and an official call for dropping arms to be made.
The most important point for the Syrian government is to manage and take control over Syria, do what is necessary (hopefully without spilling of blood), but if needed, TSK is continuing its preparations.
The clashes around Tishrin Dam and the bridge at Karakozak are there in order to put pressure on the YPG/PKK and prevent a move from their side and prepare these strategic crossing points for a larger push, but a possible Turkish operation on Ayn Al-Arab doesn't look like this.
Yes, preparations are continuing, but we are yet to see the real deal if the need arises. Wait for the border walls in Suruc, Turkiye to be removed and a front from the Operation Peace Spring area to be opened. Watch closely Ayn Issa.

Also YPG today refused to lay down their arms to New Syrian Army. They even counter attacked today across the River. Ceasefire is done. Its completely up to us now.

As far as I know walls are still not been removed, but the border area is a military area now, journalists are not allowed to enter.
When it comes to the second point, there was not a cease fire in practice. The YPG infiltration from today failed.
TSK reinforcements both at Manbij side and Suruc are continuing. Real scale is not known due to the lack of footage for known reasons, but it is significant. Very soon everything will become clear.

The Greek Junta Trials: A Brief History of an Overlooked Legal History
By Samantha de Verteuil
10/27/2024
Content Warnings: References to Political Violence and Death
"I will answer only to History and the Greek people," shouted military dictator Giorgos Papadopoulos in the courtroom where he and other members of the junta were tried for treason in July 1975. Presiding judge Ioannis Deyannis: "Do you think history does not exist in this courtroom?" he replied. Papadopoulos could not think of an answer. Just a few days later, both History and the Greek people sentenced him to death.
The regime of colonels was established in 1967 after a right-wing military junta staged a coup a month before scheduled democratic elections. In a press conference following the coup and the strict censorship that followed, General Papadopoulos claimed that Greece was "...like a patient who is tied to the operating table and cannot recover [from his illness] unless he is tied to the table." This analogy prompted BBC correspondent John Morgan to respond: "What does he think of the idea that the patient's only problem might have been the victory of the liberals in the May 28 elections?" To support the journalist's joke, the regime never seems to have found the root of the disease that 'infected' Greece, but kept the patient tied tightly, pushed, pushed and tortured. In the first month of the coup, some 8,000 people were arrested and the number of torture victims is estimated to be close to 2,000. Political violence did not abate as long as the regime maintained its position in the country; torture became a deliberate practice and some 3,500 people were detained in torture centers run by the Hellenic Military Police (ESA). As internal divisions began to undermine the regime’s legitimacy, the failure to liberalize led to general unrest, and fears of full-scale war with Turkey spread, the collapse of the military dictatorship quickly occurred.
The subsequent fall of the seven-year government left the courts with more than twenty possible treason charges, hundreds of torture victims, and the families of murdered student protesters. To address the remaining charges from the eroding dictatorship, the ‘Nuremberg of Greece’ was divided into three trials: the Instigators’ Trial, the Polytechnic Trial and the Torturers’ Trial.
The Torturers’ Trials
Ioannis Kontos, who began his military service in September 1971, told the court: “I am ashamed to have served in the ESA. When someone asks me in conversation where I served, I say ‘as a simple foot soldier’. Mr. President, who will cleanse us of this stain?” Following the Instigators’ Trial and the Polytechnic Trial, six more trials were held. These were the Torturers’ Trials. The first two of these cases, those involving the ESA, are considered by Amnesty International to be the first cases involving the prosecution of torture since Nuremberg.
A unique aspect of both cases was their structure. Both senior officials and subordinates testified in the same case; This functionally prevented either group from blaming the other without immediate consequences. This does not mean that he was not tried. The Greek torturer Major Hajizisis claimed that he had no report of what the officers were doing, so "why should he be accused of the things [KESA corporals] Kainich and Demertzidis did?" This statement provoked a reaction from the military defendants, a voice echoing: "What are you saying?" Kainich stormed out of the courtroom, but not before muttering, "That bastard Hajizisis forgot when he instructed me to send the prisoners to KESA and crush them. Now the coward says he doesn't know what's going on there." The day after the scuffle, Kainich tried to retract his incriminating statements, but this outburst proved that Major Hajizisis had in fact ordered the torture.
The peculiarity of the structure goes beyond who testifies when and extends to the amount of verbal testimony. Official documents, files and papers were destroyed, meaning that the trial was conducted almost exclusively through oral evidence. 120 torture victims testified, but the defendants still cite a lack of ‘hard’ evidence to support their innocence. Major Theofiloyannakos, who is often referred to as the second face of torture (after Major Hajizisis), denied all the victims’ claims.
President: “We had 120 witnesses who testified that they were beaten there…”
Theofiloyannakos: “It’s all lies. A year later, when you look at how the system has developed,
