ЁЯФ┤ЁЯФ┤Syria's Kurds ready to get in bed with their worst

Last week, SDC's rep. Sihanouk Dibo stated that they would announce the signing of a new memorandum of understanding with a Syrian opposition party. Yesterday, Ilham Ahmed said that they are planning to hold a national conference for all Syrian opposition forces this year...
These rapprochements might be applauded by Western powers that advocate for regime change, but are disturbing for people in the region. After all, these are the same forces the Kurds have been fighting off for years, and that have taken large swats from the lands they held.
Areas such as Ras al-Ayn, Afrin, Tal Abyad and Suluk, which were previously under Kurdish control, have been violently taken and occupied by the same тАШSyrian oppositionтАЩ the SDC now wants to cooperate with.
Dozens тАУ if not hundreds тАУ of civilians and Kurdish fighters were killed in these clashes, and I can only imagine how the families of the victims of these radical groups will feel about the prospect of cooperation with their killers.
Not a day goes by without SDC-affiliated media outlets describing kidnappings, murder, abuse in the region. Graveyards have been filled with the memories of these radical groups. Factions such as the тАШAfrin liberation forcesтАЩ commit attacks on areas occupied by the тАШoppositionтАЩ.
The same тАШoppositionтАЩ also regularly cuts off the water supplies of the Kurds. Not even to mention the strong influence the KurdsтАЩ archenemy Turkey exercises over this тАШSyrian oppositionтАЩ, and what the implications of such a cooperation might mean for Kurds elsewhere.
This тАШSyrian oppositionтАЩ has been responsible for massacres, abuse of human rights and overall oppression in the region. Its armed forces consist of groups like the Sultan Murad division, the Hamza division, Jaysh-al Islam, Ahrar al-Sham...
and many other fancy-named savage blood-thirsty headchoppers, that are often described as тАШmoderate rebelsтАЩ in Western media, that are trying to whitewash the image of these тАШrebelsтАЩ to sell regime change.
Now, why on earth would the Kurds want to cooperate with these groups? Why would the group prefer to snuggle up with the Turkey-backed opposition instead of Damascus? What promises have been made behind the curtains by the Western advocates of regime change?
Will the sole negotiation of a cooperation prevent a new invasion of North-East Syria and dimish the imminent threat? Or are the Kurds really willing to live under the three-starred flag?

I'll bite, Mr. Gray. We can even play by your rather finicky rules.

Let's begin with some of the things you have said about Xinjiang, notably absent from your more recent media appearances, but still present in your blog about your 2014 biking trip.


The following is taken from an ongoing list I keep of people who have been to Xinjiang and written/spoken about their experiences. It is separate from the testimony of detainees and their relatives I also keep. Jerry is on this

Jerry, your article for CGTN, as well as your various Medium pieces, belabor themselves to emphasize the smoothness of your time in Xinjiang. Why did you leave out so many details from your log of your 2014 trip? They seem relevant.

For example, would CGTN not let you speak about Shanshan, the town that evidently disturbed you so much?


Why, pray tell, after noting how kind and hospitable Xinjiang police were to you in 2019 for CGTNтАФand how you were never told where you could or could not goтАФwould you omit these details?
