Northern Syria struggling due to violence, in-fighting of Turkish backed groups

 Like most parts of the last decade, violence in Syria sees no end with the latest target being a town in the Northern part of Syria. A town in this part of the war-torn country has become the battleground of Turkish backed groups and US backed forces.

There are fears of large scale Turkish evasion in the area resulting in an increase in violence in the region. Activities from the rebel groups and especially those backed by Turkey have seen a rise in the town of Ain Issa as the Ankara funded Syrian militias are attacking US backed democratic forces.

This has resulted in people living in the area to displace and find a roof somewhere else in the country as they cannot even choose neighboring sites because fights had already damaged these areas.

The town has been in control of the Kurdish population led by SDF, which is also backed by the United States in its fight against the Islamic States capturing of major towns in the country. Russia, however, is against this as it strongly supports the Syrian government and also has a significant military presence in the nearby towns.

So, it won’t be wrong to say that the country is handled by three major factions Turkey, Russia and the US. SDF official has confirmed the news saying, “ When we refused the latest Russian demand to withdraw from Ain Issa, the situation escalated with Turkey and its Syrian proxies waging attacks on our forces on a daily basis.”

SDF has also said that Russia has been pressuring them to leave the town and hand it over to Bashar-al-Assad's government. The official while talking to VOA revealed that Russia and Turkey want SDF to move out of Ain Issa and other areas where our presence is there.”

“Ain Issa has become a foothold of infiltration, harassment, and terrorist attacks for PKK/YPG. The Ongoing terrorist attacks in Ras-al Ayn and OPS area are the evident consequence of such hostility,” SDF officials further said.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

  Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed   global warming was "boiling the oceans,"   has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the  World Economic Forum summit  in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees." Gore then not

Syria's alleged drug traffickers are warned via SMS messaging

  Text messages advising against engaging in the illegal trade have started to arrive for drug traffickers working along Jordan's southern border with Syria. Nine days had passed after a smuggler had been murdered in a strange airstrike in southern Syria when the alerts were sent. “We recognize you. Your every step is being observed.” According to a claimed transcript of the texts made available by the Suwayda24 network of citizen journalists in southern Syria, "Your meetings are being watched." Jordan is looking to work with Damascus to stop the flow of narcotics because it serves as a major conduit for what Arab authorities characterize as a multibillion-dollar trade in the amphetamine known as Captagon. The 360-kilometer border between Jordan and Syria is regularly used to smuggle captagon tablets, and the trade has been expanding since 2018. The majority of the southern region of Syria was retaken by the Syrian military from rebels backed by Arab and western
