Started with protests in Daraa in 2011, the Syrian conflict rapidly turned into a war with a number of foreign powers supporting various militant groups (including al-Qaeda-linked) against the government of Bashar al-Assad. Since then, the country has been a point of instability in the Middle East.
Russia began a military intervention in Syria in 2015 after an official request by the Syrian government for military help against militant groups.This allowed the Syrian government to survive and to regain initiative in a battle against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda), ISIS and other militant groups.
How can Turkey fight Daesh now with no direct front? Do you think Iraq and Jordan will let the Turkish army transit so they can fight Daesh in the south? Will Turkey honor abortion rights in annexed territory? Will YPG?
I guess that Americans are trying to make the Eastern Syria Kurds let the Turks pass through the land they control.
At least this is reasonable explanation for the recent journey of Ex Vice President Biden in Syrian Kurds and in Turkey, right after.
This is maybe the most impressive diplomat game i have ever seen !
how are there turkish forces deep down south? or are those just militants?
Just militans (if you mean at the border with Jordan)
yes, thank you :)

It woudn’t take much pass through, just 20 miles or so, south of Manbij.
To Southfront,
Would it be possible for a joint Syria-iraq map (since ISIS doesn’t respect the Sykes-Picot made frontier)?
