Neighbouring Villages: Intervention and Turkey

neighbouring villages: Turkey has intervened militarily into the region of northern Syria surrounding the town of Jarablus, according to Rabble. The intervention is being conducted in the name of "fighting ISIS" but is, in fact, a pre-emptive strike to prevent the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces from expanding their influence and territorial control across northern Syria. Chip in to keep stories like these coming. The intervention began with a show of artillery in the early morning of August 24, followed by Turkish tanks and other armoured equipment escorting irregular forces from Turkey across the border, through neighbouring villages and into Jarablus proper. The intervention coincides with a dizzying about-turn by Turkey from its longstanding "regime change"policy towards the government in Syria. Turkey wants to block the left-wing, Kurdish-led forces of the SDF from repeating in Jarablus their recent success in liberating from ISIS occupation the city of Manbij, located some 50 km south and east of Jarablus.
