If Turkey Has Chance, It Will Invade NE Syria — Mazloum Abdi
[NPASYRIA] If the Turks attack northeastern Syria, it will have an impact on the fight against the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS), said Mazloum Abdi, Commander-in-Chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

In an interview with the French Le Monde on September 9, Abdi stressed that the threat of another Ottoman Turkish invasion in northeastern Syria remained "serious", adding "If they have the chance, the Turks will carry it out. We are preparing to respond if necessary."

On May 23, Erdogan announced taking steps to complete the so-called remained portions of the "safe zone" plan along The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
’s southern border saying, "We will soon take new steps regarding the incomplete portions of the project we started on the 30 km deep safe zone we established along our southern border."

On June 1, Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
renewed his threats of launching a military operation on northern Syria, and specified his targets in the two Syrian cities of Manbij and Tel Rifaat, which include many Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

Abdi pointed out that Erdogan’s attempts to get American and Russian permission for the invasion were unsuccessful, adding at the same time that they have received "no warranty" from them about the possibility of any Ottoman Turkish offensive.

The Turks want to have a permanent presence in Syria and to annihilate the Kurdish existence, Abdi noted.

Following the Ottoman Turkish incursion into northeastern Syria in October 2019, Turkey signed two ceasefire agreements, one with Russia and the other with the US stipulating ceasing all hostilities and the withdrawal of the SDF 32 km away from the Ottoman Turkish border.

Mazloum Abdi indicated that the focus must be on the fight against ISIS sleeper cells, noting to the danger of their activities, "We arrested, three months ago, an ISIS cell which had planned to attack Hawl Camp when the Ottoman Turkish offensive would be launched.

On August 25, the Internal Security Forces of North and East Syria (Asayish) announced launching the second phase of Operation "Humanity and Security" in Hawl Camp to pursue the ISIS sleeper cells.

He also called on foreign countries to repatriate their nationals, including La Belle France. "The steps are very slow. The delays are due to the French, not ours," he said.
