And the Syrian Observatory published yesterday that Syrian Observatory for Human Rights received information from reliable sources confirmed that the International Coalition, established new bases in the northern sector of the east of Euphrates, and in the details obtained by the Syrian Observatory: the US Forces established 2 military bases in the countryside of Tal Abyad in al-Raqqah Province, where they set up 2 bases in Tal Rekbeh and al-Jayb areas in the countryside of Tal Abyad city, and this is the third International Coalition base in 17 days within the northern sector of al-Raqqah countryside, also, the establishment of these bases coincides with the Turkish military moves and the moves by the rebel and Islamic factions that operate under their command; to launch a military operation in the area east of Euphrates against Syria Democratic Forces, raising to at least 21, the number of bases established by the International Coalition in the Syria Democratic Forces’ controlled areas.
The Syrian Observatory published on the 27th of November 2018 that the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights learned from reliable sources that the International Coalition is establishing a military base at the area located in the northern countryside of al-Raqqah, and in the details that were confirmed by reliable sources of the Syrian Observatory, the US forces are establishing a military base in B’er Ashiq area located in the area between east of Tal Abyad city and west of Sluk town near the Syrian – Turkish border, where the base is being equipped with military, logistic, and communications equipment.
Also, The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published intensity of the Turkish declaration against the east of Euphrates escalates, its president stands in front of the world to declare that the process of eastern of Euphrates is coming, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitors the accelerating of preparations among the ranks of the Turkish and Syrian opposition factions, which have already partnered with Turkey, followed its orders, and received its full support within 2 operations: one in August 2016 against the “Islamic State” Organization under the name of “Euphrates Shield” operation, in the last window for the organization with the outside world in the northeastern countryside of Aleppo, the second of which was on the 20th of January, the Operation “Olive Branch”, during which they controlled Afrin area which used to be controlled by the Kurdish Forces, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored in the past 48 hours the escalation of preparations for a Turkish military operation east of Euphrates River, where thousands of soldiers were seen spreading along the border line with the east of Euphrates, and their presence was focused in front of the areas of Ras al-Ayn (Sri Kaneh) in the northwestern countryside of al-Hasakah, and Tal Abyad in the northern countryside of al-Raqqah, reliable sources confirmed to the Syrian Observatory that the forces were distributed in front of the areas starting from Ayn al-Arab (Kobani) until al-Qameshly city, that coincided -according to what the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored- with preparations by thousands of fighters of the rebel and Islamic factions which operate under the orders of Turkey, waiting for the green light from Turkey to undertake a military operation through which they try to achieve new and greater influence and control.
This Turkish ambition to expand the control in east of Euphrates area which is controlled by the Syria Democratic Forces of Kurdish, Arab, Assyrian, and Syriac forces; forebodes a disaster, to which Turkey did not show any responsibility or humanity, where intersecting sources confirmed to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that the east of Euphrates area contains millions of people in hundreds of cities, towns, and villages, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced people came from various Syrian provinces.
These Turkish threats about the military operation spread fear among the citizens who confirmed that civilians can do nothing today, they have no escape, while the Turkish attack forebodes that a disaster will come to the east of Euphrates area which may be twice as hard as the human tragedy that the international community did not care about; namely, Afrin area, which witnessed one of the largest displacement processes during about 8 years, where hundreds of thousands of residents of Aleppo and the people who were displaced to it from different Syrian areas were displaced, and hundreds of civilians were killed, hundreds others were injured, and thousands others were arrested and abducted by the Turkish Forces and the factions, in addition to the lootings, thefts, seizing, trafficking by kidnapped people, imposing taxes and royalties on the remaining population who refused to be displaced.
And with all these scenarios that the Turkish authorities and the international community -which remain silent with the regional and local ones and Turkey is seeking to achieve them- don’t care about, the area of east of Euphrates is witnessing a danger that was carefully prepared for by the Turkish authorities, which is to ignite an Arab – Kurdish sedition, through agreements with local groups and supporting parties cells operating east of Euphrates and the controlled areas of the Syria Democratic Forces and Manbij Military Council, trying to hit the area, and the Syrian Observatory published on the 5th of December 2018 that the the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights learned from reliable sources, that the security forces in al-Raqqah countryside, has arrested a cell of 3 persons with equipment and mines which they tried to plant in the countryside of Ein Issa area, in the north-western countryside of Al-Raqqah, where these 3 persons were accused of being pushed by Turkey to cause a state of disorder and security chaos in the area, and this incident comes about a day after the Syrian Observatory published that, it received information from several reliable sources confirmed to the Syrian Observatory that security forces in Manbij area have arrested a sleeper cell in the area which is controlled by the forces of Manbij Military Council west of Euphrates River, in the northeastern sector of Aleppo countryside, and in the details confirmed by the trusted sources: the arrest took place during the last 24 hours against a sleeper cell accused of belonging to Turkey, and the arrest of this cell came after several bombings in Manbij city and its outskirts by unknown gunmen, who planted IEDs and mines targeting military and civilian people within the area, in which there are forces from the International Coalition especially the US Forces.
