Abeg, my people, make una gather round as we yarn matter wey dey happen for Syria, e no be small thing.
The US military don waka come begin dey transfer up to 7,000 ISIS prisoners from Syria go Iraq. Dis move na as wahala don dey between the new government for Syria wey don take over from the Kurdish-led forces. Dem don already move 150 ISIS fighters from Hassakeh province go one ‘secure location’ for Iraq. Dis transfer na to make sure say no be so dem go escape come regroup.
According to the US Central Command (Centcom), na Admiral Brad Cooper talk am say, dem discuss with Syria’s new president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, about how to make everything dey go smooth and make sure the ceasefire no jam anytime so that the transfer fit happen as e suppose be. Updates show say the Anti-ISIS forces don dey run gists wey dey worry dem about the fate of the detainees.
Rights group wey dem call Reprieve don kolo for ground say dem dey fear say those detainees wey go Iraq fit face torture or even execution. Na so dem dey urge the UK government to find out if any British citizen dey among those wey dem dey move. Dem believe say no pass 10 Britons dey for that side, but wey be clear number no dey yet.
If we check the tensions, wetin dey happen ne say even though ceasefire dey, fresh fight don still burst out. Syria defense ministry don talk say seven of their soldiers die for drone attack wey happen for Hassakeh. SDF don come reply say no be dem carry out that strike, but the government dey accuse dem back, say dem dey attack too around Kobane. No be area wey dem go fit rest for the matter!
Earlier, dey don dey blame each other for the escape of around 120 suspected ISIS fighters from SDF prison for Shaddadi. Ministry for Syria don talk say some special forces don enter town after those terrorists jam escape. For the end, dem don recapture 81, but SDF spokesman talk say e fit reach 1,500 wey don commot during the clash. E dey panic everywhere.
SDF no dey like wetin don happen since US support don dey fall. Dem help US-led forces flog ISIS during di civil war and manage detain many ISIS members. Now, with the shifting of power, US don dey focus more on securing the detention facilities and facilitating talk between the new government and SDF.
This shift na heavy matter, as Tom Barrack, the US envoy to Syria, don talk say SDF role don dey fade because Damascus don ready to take over security. Dem dey talk say this moment fit be the time to join together again as one state wey go fit allow everyone enjoy citizenship rights and participation, something dey hard under Bashar al-Assad regime.
