All fighting was to halt for five days and the US was to help facilitate the withdrawal of Kurdish-led troops from Turkey's "safe zone" along the border.

[300] During the clashes along the border, Turkish forces reportedly killed 6 Syrian soldiers near Ras al-Ayn. [395], According to a research by Metropoll, the amount of support to the operation was at 79 percent, while Operation Olive Branch had 71 percent support according to the poll before. [243][244] The SDF commander Mazloum Abdi said that they accepted the ceasefire agreement only in the area between Tall Abyad and Ras al-Ayn. But the agreements remain unimplemented as Kyiv and Moscow disagree on their specifics and sequencing. President Nicolás Maduro is still in charge, having headed off a civil-military uprising in April and weathered a regional boycott and a stack of U.S. sanctions. Such an outcome would simultaneously allow Syria to restore its sovereignty, reassure Turkey by limiting YPG authority and firepower, and protect the Kurds from military attack. This both distracts their governments and means any crisis would make them more vulnerable still. More people are being killed as a result of fighting in Afghanistan than in any other current conflict in the world.
After more than four years of war and a Saudi-led siege, almost 16 million Yemenis face “severe acute food insecurity”, according to the UN. [245] The SDF said Turkey was violating the ceasefire and of shelling civilian areas of Ras al-Ayn. [397][398] Turkish prosecutors opened investigations against MPs Sezai Temelli and Pervin Buldan, co-leaders of the pro-Kurdish HDP party. [63] The military operation began on 9 October 2019 when the Turkish Air Force launched airstrikes on border towns. A renewed wave of violence in northwestern Syria has killed more than 120 civilians, rescue workers and civil defense officials say. As leaders understand the limits of allies’ backing, reality sinks in. There’s another trend that warrants attention: the phenomenon of mass protests across the globe. [423], On 16 October, the United States House of Representatives, in a rare bipartisan vote of 354 to 60, "condemned" President Trump's withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria, for, in the view of both parties, "abandoning U.S. allies, undermining the struggle against ISIS, and spurring a humanitarian catastrophe". As the following list of 10 Conflicts to Watch in 2019 amply illustrates, that road will be bumpy, and it will be perilous. [172][173], Turkish-backed members of Islamist militia Ahrar al-Sharqiya executed Hevrin Khalaf, Secretary General of the Future Syria Party.
[357], According to the SOHR Turkish backed forces have looted countless homes in Ras al-Ayn and Tal Abyad have engaged theft of property, physical, and verbal abuse, kidnappings of civilians for ransom and abuse against the citizens who did not flee. [218], Turkish President Erdoğan, speaking at the Turkic Council in Baku, said: "We are now announcing the establishment of a safe area 444 km from west to east and 32 km from north to south, to which the refugees in our country will return. Haftar’s latest offensive has found support not only in Cairo and Abu Dhabi but also in Moscow, which has provided Haftar military aid under the cover of a private security company. [148] The SOHR reported that the actual number of Turkish soldiers killed in the operation was six. [220] President Erdoğan also said a Turkish soldier was killed in Manbij by Syrian Army artillery fire and that there was an intense retaliatory fire for the attack which made the regime pay a heavy price. [198], The SOHR reported that violent clashes had continued in Ras Al-Ayn and its countryside at the border strip, where the Turkish forces were attempting to encircle the city completely and to cut off the road between Ras Al-Ayn and Tal Tamr, under a cover of artillery shelling and airstrikes with the purpose of taking control of the city by 15 October. Yet there may be a window this coming year to set in motion a peace process aimed at ending the decades-long war.
