Turkish genocide approved by depraved NATO with okay to attack 170,000 Kurdish refugees in Tal Rifaat/Shebha enclave..

Why Why Why? The 2nd biggest NATO army starts artillery and deploys with its jihadi mercenaries to invade and ‘Turkify’ 5 big refugee camps of families it already expelled from Afrin. Families who survive constant blockades, drone and Artillery attacks.
Because these people will not lie down. Because they live, work and fight in common with complete equality for women and smaller communities, Yazidis, Christians, Arabs and others trapped here. Because by genociding Kurds Erdogan might win the looming elections. Because NATO will let him…
On the other hand, Erdogan has called out his badly paid jihadi mercenaries, all men in strict hierarchies, without their women servants, all subscribing to unreformed medievil scripts- death to gays, lesbians, trans, shia arabs, but especially Kurds.
Tal Rifaat is host to a Kurdish-majority population of civilians expelled with the loss of everythin, from Afrin, a region that Turkey and its proxy Syrian militants occupied in 2018.
Back in February 2016, Kurdish-backed forces had taken the nearby town of Tal Rifaat from ISIS rebel groups.
Around 170,000 displaced Kurds from Afrin (Efrîn) fled to Tal Rifaat during Turkey’s 2018 invasion and the chaotic occupation of the Afrin region by assorted Turkish sponsored terrorist groups now redundant after sweeping gains by the Damascus regime.
Turkey has threatened on several occasions to launch a cross-border offensive to capture Tal Rifaat. So far, Russia and Iran have deterred such action.
However, Turkish-backed groups, and Turkish army in the nearby Azaz HQ, regularily pound the area wirth artillery and drones, targeting civilians in 4 massacres.
Kurdish-backed groups in Tal Rifaat have responded by shelling positions controlled by their fighters. They were using mortar shells, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
The incidents come amid ongoing tensions between Kurdish-led forces of the AANES autonomous revolutionary administration(SDF) and Turkey.

On Friday, a Turkish drone attack injured a Kurdish civilian in the town of Kobani while Turkish-backed groups shelled the M4 road near Ain Issa in northeast Syria.
The Shehba (Shabha) camps have been self organised horizontally on the model of the Rojava revolution, with equality for all races and especially women, and all kinds of communally organized production, facilities and initiatives.
ANF | Report on the refugees from Afrin in Shehba published
Two thousand children from the Afrin region in Kurdish, Arab and Yezidi, aged between 6 and 12 years, gathered with their teachers in Serdam camp in Al-Ahdath district of Al-Shahba canton to participate in the drawing of the world’s longest painting.
Kurdish officials and media have shown that that Damascus the regime has imposed sieges on pockets of territory belonging to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Shahba district – home to hundreds of thousands of Kurds who fled the Turkish invasion of Afrin in early 2018 – and the Ashrafiyah and Sheikh Maqsoud Kurdish neighborhoods in Aleppo.

ANF | People in Rojava take to the streets again
In October 2019, after Turkey attacked Kurdish forces in northern Syria, the US and Russia reached separate ceasefire agreements with Turkey to stop the fighting between Kurdish-backed forces and Turkish-backed rebels.
Despite this shelling by Turkish-backed groups and drone strikes by the Turkish army have continued to target Kurdish-led forces and civilians.
Now, along with Manbij, Shebha/Tal Rifaat is incredibly targeted for annihilation by Turkey and proxies. For this they need Russian airspace permission, (which they got in thge Afrin takeover in 2018 by signing the Turkstream 2 gas pipeline).
This time round Russia can ill afford to prevent a massacre of women and children refugees. Because Turkey holds the key to preventing a NATO takeover of the Black Sea, because they could close Turkstream 2, … etc.
Tal Rifaat/Shebha is defended by the makeshift multi ethnic SDF forces To the south is Damascus regime territory, and urgent pleas for help have led to a buildup by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), despite their anri Kurd hostility.
And what about the USA? The SDF is in theory supported by themm but only sometimes and against ISIS . The USA stood idly by in the Afrin invasion, for instance, as Turkey use the NATO base in Incirlik to blast the Afrin (Efrîn) resistance with US mad jetys and German made tanks. Now of course NATO (The US) cannot say boo to Turkey without delaying Nordic accession.

‘First objective in any Turkish campaign in Syria will be Tall Rifat’ says journalist
Amed Dicle, a journalist specialising in the region, estimates that Turkey will probably launch a large scale military campaign in northern Syria in July, and that Russia has already given its consent.
Dicle said that the remarks of the Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov about Turkey’s involvement in Syria was an indication of a possible agreement between Russia and Turkey.
“Because Turkey needs Russia in Syria, and Russia needs Turkey,” he said. “The Ukrainian issue did not have a negative impact on relations between Turkey and Russia, as is widely presumed.”
Dicle added that the United States was also likely to give a green light for the illegal genocidal Turkish invasion.

One fighter noted that “when the Turkish lira began to lose value against the Syrian pound our salaries became worthless”.[2]
This rocket attack coincided with a Russian warplane flying over the area.
