the SDF would assure their protection from any further assault. We don't know how true that is, and we know that today further negotiations on this failed. But it's really hard to tell right now as we speak what's disinformation and what's truth, because stuff is only coming out officially in dribs and drabs.

Yeah. For instance, like just before we came on air, I saw a couple of videos being posted by pro-Turkish accounts of purportedly showing mass troop concentrations lined up against this border wall waiting to invade. And I realized that they were from 2019 when Sirikani and Talabayat were invaded and they were just reposting material from then.

as disinformation on these movements and whether the attack's going to happen, what the negotiations between the US and Turkey turned out to be. And the truth is, right now, we don't know exactly what's going on.

Yeah, we saw this a few times when Man Beach was reported to have been captured by the SNA and they posted videos of themselves in the middle of the city. And then an hour later, the SDF posted a video from the centre of the city of 20 or 30 dead SNAs blitting about the streets and them flying their own flags. So, yeah. Yeah, it's really it's really hard to tell. It's also really hard.

It's like anyone who cares about the region or has been there has reported on it. And anyone interested in the kind of politics that the Kurds have built up in the region and others, I should say, is, you know, it's been a multi-ethnic project. If you care about that, it's really hard not to be glued to social media to see what's going on. But it can be quite detrimental to morale.

It can be quite an act of self-harm to be constantly checking on this because it's so murky. And as you say, things can turn around within two hours of info or disinfo getting out there.

I mean, I think the best way to answer that question is to look at what's already happened. So in 2018 and 19, they already captured three significant cities that were under control of the self-administration. So the first and most famously was Afrin, which was in the far northwest of the country. like just north of Aleppo, sort of jutting out into Turkey. That was a majority Kurdish city.
