No one knows how many civilians are left in Raqqa. A city of 240,000 people before ISIS captured it 3 years ago. It is possible there are 100,000 civilians left.

ISIS practices must condemn ISIS fighters to death. But SDF continues to try to avoid civilian deaths. And continues to try to aid those displaced. In past 2 weeks I have noticed 2 very large shipments of food delivered in the area (from US government, US AID for one) to support those who are able to escape from ISIS in Raqqa.

Never forget that Turkey has repeatedly turned humanitarian aid shipments away at the Turkey/Syria border. Saying Kurds are terrorists. Kurds are ending ISIS. The terrorists are those who sell the citizens of a neighboring country who have done nothing to Turkey but exist near their space.

They have to know that humanitarian aid isn’t going to civilians. Hopefully it’s laced with anthrax, or smallpox, or something equally deadly.

“IS mercinaries (sp: mercenaries) use civilians as human shield”

Unfortunately, there is war in the real world and in the understanding of the reality of actually winning a war, we must be able to accept a level of collateral damage.

Not enough adjectives for COWARD to describe these sand people.
