Turkish-backed rebels attempt to hijack Kurdish gains against ISIS
By Leith Fadel - 30/08/2016

Aleppo, Syria (3:30 A.M.) – The Turkish-backed “Free Syrian Army” (FSA) and their Islamist allies are attempting to capitalize on the gains made by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) against the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) in northeastern Aleppo.

Earlier this month, the SDF managed to liberate the key town of Menbeij after a long battle with the Islamic State terrorists.

Following Menbeij’s liberation, the SDF pushed further south in a new attempt to expel the Islamic State terrorists from the northeastern countryside of Aleppo.

Now, the Turkish-backed rebels are attempting to hijack these victories from the SDF and Kurdish-led “People’s Protection Units” (YPG), leaving them with only two options: 1) leave and live or 2) fight and die.

For the Kurdish forces and their Arab allies, giving up Menbeij after sacrificing several hundred fighters to liberate it would be appalling; however, the Turkish regime could not care less about their plight.

In fact, the Turkish-backed rebels reportedly crossed the Sajur River in northern Aleppo on Monday and captured the village of ‘Ayn Al-Dadat in northern Menbeij.

The Kurdish forces are now on high-alert after the Turkish-backed rebels made their first major push towards Menbeij on Monday.

Despite the repeated threats made by the Turkish regime, the Kurdish forces remain defiant and optimistic in northern Aleppo, as they promise to defend the area from any unwanted guests.
