Erdogan: only a 3rd of YPG (SDF) fighters have withdrawn...SDF: Turkey blocked their retreat

Military & Intelligence Correspondent, Reuters. Phil has reported from 60+ countries including Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia, China.

”If the promises given to us by America are not kept, we will
continue our operation from where it left off, this time with a
much bigger determination,” Erdogan said.


With deadline just hours away, Erdogan says only about a
third (just over) of the YPG fighters have withdrawn.

them in place to kill them come Tuesday...

went to the White House — twice — to try to change his
mind, according to four people familiar with the meetings.
