2-Here's an idea: the next time you are in DC, help us use the public relations goodwill that the White Helmets have, especially in Congress, to raise awareness about the plight of the people from Afrin as a consequence of Olive Branch. That is a confidence building measure.

1-Kenan, it is difficult to have a national project when the White Helmets are actively participating in a program in Afrin that has displaced hundreds of thousands, and where there are documented violations against local residents that is based on their ethnic+sectarian origin.

6-Testing the "inclusivity" of governance in the SDF zone, an emerging US priority (and a big one in DC), is a political project. As you said, White Helmets are supposed to be neutral. Afrin belies this. Regardless, in that context, there's no need for White Helmets in N/E Syria.

5-Perhaps some of these local recovery groups in N/E Syria could strike a deal to be "re-branded" as part of the White Helmets organization which could also potentially facilitate better international media attention on the work that these groups do to stabilize Syria after ISIS.

4-Beyond Afrin, the role of the White Helmets in N/E Syria is likely not necessary because there are multiple local NGOs (like Heyva Sor and the Early Recovery Teams) and administrative bodies tied to the Self Administration Authority, that do the work that the White Helmets do.

3-Olive Branch, and members of the White Helmets role in supporting it, both before and after active combat operations, is highly controversial for the SDF, and for those who are from N/E Syria who are concerned with the plight of the hundreds of thousands displaced from there.

2-Unfortunately in the case of Afrin there's evidence that members of the White Helmets participated in supporting combat operations as part of Olive Branch and sine then support an administration there credibly linked to ethnic+sectarian persecution and crimes against civilians.

1-Hello Kenan. I hope you are well. Obviously, constituent groups within the White Helmets organization do heroic work. Members of the White Helmets have answered the call and delivered desperately needed disaster relief where these emergency services are rare or totally absent.

So far, #UAE, unlike Bolton, taking deliberate & calculated response not to accuse Tehran of involvement in oil tanker attacks. Many reasons why this could be, including to prevent escalation with neighbouring #Iran, or saving a card to play at later stage. twitter.com/joyce_karam/st…

Maybe now the #Russians get the message that the situation in #Idlib is not a one-way route in which they can pressure #Turkey just like they want?
A new Erdogan-Putin summit is needed.
Turkey won't just watch civilians being slaughtered by Assad.

According to @NicholasAHeras, "With sanctions on the international sale of oil from Iran to Assad’s regime, and sanctions on the regime itself, Syria’s domestic oil supply is becoming very important to Assad." Read more in @K24English: bit.ly/2Z59EEn

Amb. Jim Jeffrey said that several sticking points remained to clinching a deal, including how much territory the YPG is being asked to give up, dealing with US-provided weapons left over from the counter-IS campaign and clarifying governance in the safe zone.
