One of the few think tank reports focusing also on #Afrin.
"The plight of its people has been a big hole in U.S. policy and deserves special attention because this region is very important to the YPG—a major component of the SDF and US's best and closest partner in Syria." (1) pic.twitter.com/Xoj1v3mSwL

"ISIS wants to put the Coalition on notice that it is far from dead, and that the SDF cannot secure it." - @NicholasAHeras speaks with @K24English's @vvanwilgenburg about ISIS' most recent attack on the Syrian Democratic Forces:

"Afrin has been largely forgotten by the United States because U.S. policy has been to categorize the YPG organization that exists east of the Euphrates River as the SDF"

#Houthis might be the most powerful non-state actor in the Middle East. They cannot target an opponent's capital with same force as Lebanese #Hezbollah can against #TelAviv, but Houthis compromise #Saudi territorial integrity at will and threaten global energy flows frequently.

Allowing the battle for Tripoli to unfold without a credible effort to push the sides to a ceasefire is very dangerous. Fuelled by foreign support, the conflict could escalate, causing immense material destruction and human suffering in the capital and surrounding areas. twitter.com/claudiagazzini…

Pompeo said this about where sanctions on #Iran might lead: "I think what can change is the people can change the government,” nytimes.com/2019/05/11/wor… Purest distillation of the objective of the "maximum pressure" strategy. Would a similar outcome happen against #Assad in #Syria?

The 4th item re NE #Syria: Deir Ezzor remains in critical need of a plan. Overall, gains are real, fragile, worth protecting and in need of attention and resourcing. Pieces to come.

I keep hearing about the "safe zone" but never about who it is supposed to keep safe or how.
Surely no one in their right mind is claiming the YPG or SDF are a threat to Turkey? (Note "in their right mind"). twitter.com/rabrowne75/sta…

That is a disturbing assumption for the head of US #Syria and Counter-#ISIS policy to make. And if the implication of that assumption is that #Turkey can follow the #Afrin model in what is now the #SDF Zone, the future will be endemic instability that will help, not hurt, #ISIS. twitter.com/HDPinUSA/statu…

This week Congress has been focused on the future of US strategy on #Syria. In our final podcast in this @CNASdc series, three notable senior NatSec experts-@franceszbrown, @natsecdalton, @LorenRaeDeJ-and I discuss whether the US should remain in Syria. cnas.org/publications/p…

Take a close look @PhillipSmyth's excellent+detailed+new "Shia Militia Mapping Project." His maps demonstrate clearly how the #IRGC is using #Iraqi, #Syrian and other militias to create a exclusive security zone for #Iran in #DeirEzzor (E #Syria). #Iranian washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysi…

Good point. SDF/NE often analysed in isolation, without comparing it to ES or GoS areas twitter.com/NicholasAHeras…

In fact, @franceszbrown it would have been good to see you balance your analysis of inclusivity in N/E #Syria by pointing out that although more needs to be done by the SDF, and that is a good goal for the USA, Afrin under Turkish management is a good example of what not to do.
