土耳其军队及其叙利亚盟友控制了叙利亚北部库尔德城镇阿夫林之后，库尔德武装威胁要发起更大规模的游击战。
叙利亚库尔德人高级官员奥斯曼.谢赫说，“在阿夫林各处的库尔德武装将是敌人挥之不去的恶梦，他们将利用一切机会打击土耳其敌军以及雇佣军。”
土耳其军队及其叙利亚盟友星期天上午在阿夫林升起了他们的旗帜，宣布已经完全控制了这座城镇。此前他们没有受到库尔德“人民保卫军”的任何抵抗。
土耳其总统埃尔多安誓言决不让库尔德人沿土耳其和叙利亚的边界建立他所称的“恐怖主义走廊”，并威胁要把打击行动进一步向东扩大。在土耳其和叙利亚边境以东地区，美国军队正在帮助盟友库尔德武装。土耳其的行动可能会导致美国和土耳其之间的紧张关系进一步加剧。
Syrian Kurds are threatening a new stepped-up guerilla war after Turkish forces and their Syrian allies took control of the northern Syrian town of Afrin, a Kurdish enclave.
“Our forces all over Afrin will become a constant nightmare for them,” top Syrian Kurd official Othman Sheikh Issa said. “These forces will strike the positions of the Turkish enemy and its mercenaries at every opportunity,” he warned.
Turkey and their Syrian allies raised flags in central Afrin early Sunday, declaring they are in full control of the town after meeting no resistance from the People’s Defense Units, the Kurdish militia.
Erdogan vowed to stop the Kurds from setting up what he calls a “terror corridor” along the Turkish-Syrian border. He threatened to take the fight further east in Syria, where U.S. forces are aiding their Kurdish allies – setting up the possibility of even more tension between the U.S. and Turkey.he highest price.
The fight for east Ghouta has killed more than 1,400 residents in the past month and sent tens of thousands of others fleeing for their lives.
Those who have stayed behind are facing severe food shortages and scant medical care.
