Turkey and Syria Army Attack on kurdish latest March 2018

-

Turkish troops and Syrian opposition forces have attacked a Kurdish enclave in northern Syria in their bid to oust from the area a US-allied Kurdish militia.

The Turkish offensive on Afrin, codenamed Operation Olive Branch, started on Saturday and has heightened tensions in the already complicated Syrian conflict, threatening to further strain ties between Nato allies Turkey and the United States.
It prompted condemnations from the Syrian government, Iran and Egypt.
France called for an emergency UN Security Council meeting to discuss the developments there and urged Turkish authorities “to act with restraint in a context where the humanitarian situation is deteriorating in several regions of Syria”.
Turkish officials said the troops entered Afrin a day after dozens of Turkish jets and artillery units at the border pounded Syrian Kurdish targets.

 spokesman for the Kurdish fighters said the attack was repelled.
Turkey considers the Syrian Kurdish militia, known as the People’s Protection Units (YPG), a terror organisation and a security threat because of its affiliation with Kurdish rebels fighting in south-eastern Turkey.
The group controls Afrin, in Syria’s north-western Aleppo province, as well as a swathe of territory to the east along Turkey’s border.
The YPG also forms the backbone of the Syrian Democratic Forces, the main US ally against the Islamic State group in Syria.
US support for the Kurdish militia has been a cause of perpetual conflict between Ankara and Washington, which has backed the Kurdish militia in the fight against IS militants in eastern Syria.
There was no immediate US comment on the operation in Afrin, where it does not maintain troops, but US officials have said that the administration had appealed to Turkey not to go ahead with the offensive.
A Turkish operation there could have an impact on US operations further east in Syria, the officials said.

GOOD 13 Different Ways You Can Lend A Paw At Rescue Shelters That Need It Wendy Frink Writer 4 years ago When it comes to saving dogs and cats’ lives, many people think the only way they can help is by volunteering at the local shelter. While volunteering is a great thing to do, it’s just the tip of the iceberg! Shelter animals need so much more than walks, and you can lend a paw with all of it. Here are 13 creative ways you can help make a difference in the lives of homeless pets. 1. Provide transportation When animals land a foster or adoptive home, it might not be right around the corner. Volunteers are often needed to take a dog to wherever its destination may be. Sometimes it’s a two-hour road trip, or just a leg in an eight hour drive.
