Past few days big changes happened in Syrian conflict and war against ISIS.
So ... What happened ?
Turkish army entered the Syrian city of Jarablous, after Kurdish YPG and SDF forces liberated Manbij from ISIS. Manbij is the city by Turkish border. Manbij was the first stop for many Jihadist coming into syria to join ISIS through Turkish border.
During the past 4 years that ISIS controlled the Turkish border, Turkey never shot a bullet at them. Many analyst have noted that Turkey is perfectly happy with ISIS being there, killing Kurds.
The Independent observers and researchers have confirmed that Turkey has been aiding ISIS the past few years. Recently a paper published by Colombia University in NYC titled "ISIS- Turkey links"
However Kurds victory over ISIS at the Turkish border, hugely concerned Turkey. and Turkey announced it is entering Syria to fight ISIS and Kurds. and Turkey has started funding and creating new groups to replace Kurdish forces.
So far nothing surprising. Turkey has always been obsessed with Kurds.
They used to deny the existance of Kurdish people now they fight Kurdish identity. but I am gonna explain why you should care and how this evil policy is gonna affect the world.
In this photo posted on twitter,
You see Turksih flag and Erdogan's photo next to a black flag.

Who are SDF ?
Kurdish YPG formed SDF forces to include Arabs and other ethnics. which was supported by USA and some european countries to fight ISIS. if you Google SDF in the news it was mostly admired as the most effective force against ISIS.However Kurds victory over ISIS at the Turkish border, hugely concerned Turkey. and Turkey announced it is entering Syria to fight ISIS and Kurds. and Turkey has started funding and creating new groups to replace Kurdish forces.

So ... Who are these Turkish backed groups against SDF ?
Case 1: Turkish-backed Jihadist use ISIS flag's clone (Photo)
In this photo posted on twitter,
You see Turksih flag and Erdogan's photo next to a black flag.
Which has same color with ISIS flag. The flag also has exact same words with ISIS flag in Arabic ("There is no God but allah, Mohammad is the prophet of Allah") Is that a coincidence that Turkish backed forces have an almost cloned version of ISIS flag ?
Case 2 :Turkish-backed Jihadist uses the ISIS term"Ayn Al Islam" (Video)
The video shows the Turkish backed jihadist chanting, they won't stop fighting Kurds till they conquer Ayn Al Islam.Kobani is a Kurdish city which the Nationalist arabs call it Ayn Al Arab, however ISIS used the term Ayn Al Islam to call the kurdish city.
The question is, why Turkish backed forces call Kobani with the same Term as ISIS ? and why do they want to conquer it ? as opposed to go and fight ISIS ?
Flash Back about Kobani:
The defeat of ISIS in Kobani was the first major defeat of ISIS and one of the most heroic stories of war. that some call it the Leningrad of Kurdistan.
The Kurdish city of Kobani was sieged by ISIS on 13 September 2014. the Kurdish YPG forces refused to surrender and fought till the last breath. ISIS entered downtown Kobani and produced a propaganda video featuring the kidnaped Biritsh journalist (John Cantlie) in which they declared victory and renamed the Kobani city to Ayn Al Islam . however Kurdish forces took didn't give up and finally kicked ISIS out on 27 Jan 2017 with the help of US/EU Airstrikes. The resistance of Kobani been the symbol of Kurdish resistance. Read more about the siege of kobani ,
The video shows a large group of Turkish backed Jihadist chanting Allaho Akbar and dehumanizing detainees. something you never see Kurdish fighters do. Because Kurdish fighters fight for their homeland, Turkish Jihadist fight for Jihad and Turkish money. Another video shows Turkish backed Jihadist kicking detainees in the head.

Case 3: Torture detainees and chanting Allaho Akbar
The video shows a large group of Turkish backed Jihadist chanting Allaho Akbar and dehumanizing detainees. something you never see Kurdish fighters do. Because Kurdish fighters fight for their homeland, Turkish Jihadist fight for Jihad and Turkish money. Another video shows Turkish backed Jihadist kicking detainees in the head.
Case 4: Behead 9 year old child and joins Turkish backed forces.
There is another video posted by curdisanti on twitter which shows Nurettin Zengi-Ahrar al Sham beheading a minor child, I refuse to link the video directly, but you can find if you need it for documentation. Nurettin Zengi-Ahrar now joined Turkish backed forces.Where are the Women Btw ?
Also you see no women among Turkish backed jihadist. their women are hidden under a burqa, as opposed to kurdish women which 7500 of them are fighting ISIS. if you google Kurdish female fighters of YPG, you don't see them hiding in Burqa but you see them in the front line of fight for life!
Case 4: Ex-ISIS commander joins Tukish-backed Jihadist.
A photo shows the turkish backed jihadist, is holding IDs of Kurdish YPGs, but what is interesting is he has previously been seen as an ISIS commander, now working for Turkey.So ....WHY you should care?
When the Syrian civil war first sparked, Turkey supported bunch of Syrian rebels and called them "moderate rebels". America also followed it so called alley to topple Bashar Asad's regime.Kurdish forces in the beginning warned the world many of these groups (for example Al-Nusra) have the similar ideology with Al-qaeda and practice the same harsh version of islam. But Kurds were unheard and not listened to.
At that time, world ignored the Jihadi Gorups who were fighting Syrian regime, as long as they were fighting Syrian Regime. these groups later went out of control and formed ISIS and started attacking the innocent targets across all of the world.
Where was the red flags that world missed ?
- Allaho Akbars
- Jihadi ideology
- Extreme violence against detainees.
- Beheadings.
Now same thing is happening. Turkey is crushing the open minded Kurdish forces with dark minded islamist. just because racist Turkey can not tolerate a Kurdish identity ever exist their borders. The Turkish aka moderate rebels are just a rebranded version of ISIS.
So there is a big threat, ISIS will be living under a new brand name. basically because these people have same ideology with ISIS.
One might thing all the middle east are all extreme Muslims and it is what it is, but it is not true.
Kurdish fighters integrate very well with all relligion and ethnics. you never see a Kurdish female fighter cover in Burqa or chanting Allaho Akbar. Christians, Jews and Ezidis perfectly feel safe with Kurds and get their support.
Last week Joe Biden went to Turkey and in a pathetic body language pictures, he promised Turkey not to let Kurds liberate more cities from ISIS.
It is time for America to wake up, Turkey's backed groups are Jihadist. it is not easy for American journalist to investigate what is going on in Turkey, as they face prison (read about Lindsey Snell)
It is not to the interest of America and the world to support Jihadists to crush Kurds, just because Turkey is too racist to see Kurds get any power anywhere.
Update 4th Sep 2016 :listen to American volunteer Jordan Matson on this.
