YPG-led SDF fighters continue to advance in the operation to liberate Raqqa. There is only 2 kilometers left between the eastern and western fronts before they are joined.
SDF fighters have cleared the Kesrêt Efan village to the south of Raqqa by the Euphrates river of gangs as part of the operation to liberate Raqqa. With the liberation of the Kesrêt Efan village, ISIS gangs are now completely surrounded by the fighters in four fronts in Raqqa.
As the SDF fighters continue their advance, there is only 2 kilometers left between the eastern and western fronts before they are joined. With the two fronts joined, the SDF will achieve control in both banks of the Euphrates River.
When the Dehlê village 16 km to the southeast of Raqqa, closes to the gangs by the Euphrates River is taken, the circle will tighten even further for the gangs.
YPG Command Member Ibrahim Ebdo stated that if this can be achieved, the gangs will only have the area called the “security tetragon” left in their control.
As the gangs use civilians as human shields, in the past week the SDF rescued over 200 civilians from the Hîsham Bin Abdulmalik neighborhood.
This is great news. Now all the refugees can go back home, right? ...*crickets*... Right?
Give no quarter.
Does Allah have any virgins left to distribute?
KILL ISIS.
That is all.
Get a Mexican-American bugler to blow El Deguello.
“Give no quarter.”
Yes, take no prisoners. Kill every last one of them. The message to anyone in ISIS needs to be clear, all of you will die.
Agree. Except for conscripts and captured children.
The Kurds are housing and feeding 500,000 refugees in country.
There are large numbers of them in Turkey.
Do you personally know any Syrian refugees?
They would need a translator. ISIS does not feel threatened by the Mexican military.
Now, Kurds backed by U.S. military, that is another story.
I don’t, but one constantly hears of millions settling throughout Europe basically causing a cultural shift. Then there was obama the last couple of years bringing in thousands. Refugee status is intended to be temporary. Refugees are also expected to stop at the first point of refuge. Refugees are also typically women and children. I’ve seen footage of the hoards of military aged men flooding into Europe as refugees. It wasn’t safe for them at home, but it is safe for their women, children, and elderly? I’m sure there are innocent people displaced by war. They are not the ones I am speaking of, but they, too, should go home when the shooting stops.

Deguello wasn’t for the opposing army. It was a signal to the bugler’s army that no quarter was to be given. In other words, kill . them . all.

Indeed. And I hope no quarter is given to the ISIS savages.
The various Kurd groups in Syria, Iraq and adjacent areas have proven by successful fighting that they are about the only ethnic/tribal group that is anti-ISS and anti radical Islamist in the Mid-East. Others that the US tried to support take our money but don’t fight. Yes. the present Iraq government has retaken Mosel but it is really a client of Iran.
President Trump should ignore Turkey, Russia, Iraq and Iran’s objections on the Kurds. He should arm them with better weapons, send money and help the Kurds to get autonomy and self-rule in the areas the Kurds control. Kurds would be more dependable US allies than those we have now in the region.

How do you plan on separating the sheep from the goats?
After all, every military aged “youth” invading the west is a refugee.
I said way back when, after Turkey’s last minute denial of passage for our troops that Iraq should have been flattened, then split along ethnic lines and Turkey’s perfidy rewarded with a newly minted Kurdistan on its boarder.
Except most of them are not Syrian to begin with.
And for God’s sake, don’t kill a Canadian.
If they resist, kill them. If they surrender, examine them.
