By Paul Antonopoulos – 25/08/2016 – almasdar News – The Kurdish YPG have announced that they have withdrawn from the northern Syrian town of Manbij after it was only captured from ISIS two weeks ago.

The YPG command have announced in a statement that they have withdrawn to their bases and will leave control of the town to the Manbij Military Council with only Arab members of the YPG-led SDF to remain in the town. It is yet to be seen if these YPG fighters will now engage with Turkish forces and their Islamist proxies who are conducting Euphrates Shield operation. Read more  www.mesop.de

MESOP TODAYS OPINION BY  Arash Karami  (AL MONITOR)  – Why did Russian use of Iranian air base stir up controversy?

24 Aug 2016 – When Russia announced last week that it had launched airstrikes against Syrian opposition forces from western Iran, Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), was the first Iranian official to indirectly confirm the news. Shortly thereafter, a number of other officials both confirmed the news and defended it, arguing that it was part of a strategic pact between the two countries to fight terrorism in the region.

MESOP TODAYS RELEVANT QUESTION (II) :  ROJAVA : THE PKK CORRIDOR TO THE MEDITERRANEAN SEE

ROJAVA’S SUSTAINABILITY & THE PKK’S REGIONAL STRATEGY

By Fabrice Balanche – Fabrice Balanche, an associate professor and research director at the University of Lyon 2, is a visiting fellow at The Washington Institute. – PolicyWatch 2680 – August 24, 2016

As the Kurds continue to pursue their goal of a contiguous territory in northern Syria, various nonmilitary factors will determine whether their nascent statelet is viable in the long term, including a host of demographic, economic, water, and oil issues. Although it is still difficult to predict the future of Syria as a whole, the existence of an increasingly autonomous Kurdish region along the country’s northern frontier has become a reality. For now, the boundaries of this “Rojava” remain blurred and might be different from those officially claimed by the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD). Yet the group’s ongoing efforts to expand and merge its cantons reflect a firm commitment to gathering Syria’s Kurds into an economically viable statelet that extends tantalizingly close to the Mediterranean Sea — a prospect that could also advance the goals of its parent organization in Turkey, the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).  Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=77429

AMMAN:  24 Augusten 2016 – SYRIA DIRECT  –  Multiple Syrian rebel groups fighting with the Turkish forces announced the “complete liberation of Jarablus city from the terrorist IS gangs” late Wednesday afternoon.  Rebels posted pictures on social media, reportedly from inside the city.

Kurdish forces hold territory extending eastwards along the Turkish border to Iraq. Read full report http://www.mesop.de/?p=77423

 

YPG: We will not retreat from west of Euphrates

YPG Spokesman Rêdur Xelil stressed that nobody can force them to leave their own lands.

NEWS DESK – ANF
Speaking to Radio Voice of America, YPG (People’s Defense Units) Spokesman Rêdur Xelil remarked that Turkey’s attack on Jarablus targeted not ISIS but Kurds, underlining that they will not withdraw their forces from west of Euphrates and nobody can subject them to such an imposition.

Redur Xelil’s message is as follows: “Turkey’s Jarablus intervention is a hostile approach. The main target of this operation is the Kurdish people and their gains rather than ISIS. We are in the west of Euphrates and take our place within Syrian Democratic Forces. We are in our own land and we will not leave it as per some request. We will not act in line with the request of Turkey or some other power.

Turkish state cannot shape our position there in accordance with its own interests. Our forces will remain there and there will be no retreat. Nobody has the right to impose YPG’s withdrawal from there and we will never accept such a thing.”

 

MESOP TODAYS JARABULUS REPORT : 1) Turkey Changes the Dynamics of the Conflict – 2) The Maneuvers of Foreign Powers – 3) Turkeys “No fly Zone?”

Rebels v. Kurds?

The Turkish Government quickly seized the opportunity to press the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) and its YPG militia, the most prominent Kurdish force in Syria. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan declared, “[We act] against terror organizations such as Daesh [the Islamic State] and the PYD.” –  Perhaps surprisingly — given the extensive US support for the SDF since its creation last autumn — Vice President Joe Biden issued his own warning to the PYD and YPG. Speaking during a two-day visit to Ankara, he said Syrian Kurdish forces “must move back [east] across the Euphrates River”, giving up much of the territory they have taken since last December. Biden warned, “They cannot — will not — under any circumstance get American support if they do not keep that commitment.” Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=77434

THE GERMAN KURDISH CHAPTER

MESOP  – Türkei Invasion in Syrien  : NOCH FRAGEN OFFEN ? ………

Binali Yildirim (Aussenchef der Türkei) heute in der Zeitung Hurriyet (24 Aug 2016):

Wir werden doch unsere guten Beziehungen zu unserem guten Freund (USA) nicht in Frage stellen, … schon garnicht wegen eines Terroristen“ (Guelen)

…… Seit 3 Jahren erklärt MESOP unentwegt, daß niemand der großen Konfliktbeteiligten jemals ohne sonderliche Veranlassung einer autonomen kurdischen Entität in Syrien zustimmen wird:  für Putin sind die Kurden mehr oder weniger Separatisten, die er nicht mag. Die USA wollen einen kompletten Iraq und genauso ein ungeteiltetes Syrien, auf keinen Fall aber ethnisch definierte Kantone. Bei den Iranern sieht das ebenso aus. Und für Erdogan sowieso.

Heute Abend sollte man in Kandil (PKK Home) die Strategien der letzten 4 Jahre evaluieren, die immer nur Taktik waren – und bazarihaftes spekulieren auf Vorteilsnahme.  www.mesop.de

MESOP REPORT : WAS GESCHIEHT IN MANBIJ ? DIE PKK/PYD KOMMUNE  & IHRE MENSCHEN & AUCH LINKE

BEIRUT, 23. August. Für Hassan Naifi ist Manbidsch nicht befreit worden. „Die Menschen waren heilfroh darüber, dass die Dschihadisten weg sind”, sagt er. „Aber die freundlichen Befreier haben auch ein anderes Gesicht.” Mitte des Monats war der „Islamische Staat” (IS) aus der nordsyrischen Stadt vertrieben worden. Nach wochenlangen Kämpfen und massiven Luftangriffen der amerikanisch geführten Anti-IS-Koalition waren die Milizionäre der Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in die Stadt eingerückt. Frauen verbrannten ihre Vollschleier, steckten sich Zigaretten an, umarmten kurdische Kämpferinnen. Aber Hassan Naifi, der auf der Todesliste des IS stand und fliehen musste, ist noch nicht in Feierstimmung. Er kann nicht zurück. Sein Bruder und dessen Familie, die geblieben war, die der IS als Geisel genommen und weiter im Norden freigelassen hatte, auch nicht. Die neuen Herrscher (PKK/PYD) würden das nicht zulassen, sagt er. Volltext http://www.mesop.de/?p=77425
