Turkey's offensive in northeast Syria continues

(16 Oct 2019) Turkey's offensive against Kurdish fighters in northern Syria entered its eighth day on Wednesday. From the Turkish town of Ceylanpinar, video crews filmed explosions striking positions on the other side of the border, sending thick clouds of smoke into the air. The offensive has caused tens of thousands to flee their homes, has upended alliances and is re-drawing the map of northern Syria yet again after eight years of civil war. Russia moved quickly to further entrench its role as a power broker after US President Donald Trump ordered the pullout of American forces in northeastern Syria. The American move effectively abandoned the Kurdish fighters who were allied with the U.S. and cleared the way for Turkey's invasion aimed at crushing them. Desperate for a new protector, the Kurdish administration struck a deal with the Russia-backed government of Syrian President Bashar Assad, whose forces on Sunday began moving into Kurdish-administered areas to shield them against Turkey.
