Karwan Jamal Tahir, the high representative of the Kurdish Regional Government in London, told Newsweek he fears a fresh humanitarian crisis in Syria.
The London representative of the Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government has dismissed President Donald Trump's efforts to wash his hands of responsibility for the Turkish military operation against Kurdish-led forces in Syria.on Wednesday, just hours after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan launched Operation Peace Spring into the Kurdish-held part of northeastern Syria, known as"Rojava."The KRG is the ruling body of the autonomous region in northeastern Iraq.
The withdrawal was not entirely unexpected, Tahir explained. After all, in December 2018, the president announced he would withdraw all U.S. troops—then numbering around 2,000—from Syria. "They are supposed to work together," Tahir said of the American, Turks and Kurds, noting that Trump now appears to have ditched the agreement to work on a safe zone.Burak Kara/Getty Images/Getty
If Turkish forces advance far into Rojava, civilians may look towards the KRG as their natural destination. But Tahir warned that the Iraqi Kurds are already struggling to look after more than 1 million people displaced by the civil wars in Syria and Iraq.it is the KRG's"fear and worry" that the Turkish operation will create a humanitarian crisis in Rojava.
