    This article was authored by an anarchist in Rojava.

    I’m writing from Rojava. Full disclosure: I didn’t grow up here and I don’t have access to all the information I would need to tell you what is going to happen next in this part of the world with any certainty. I’m writing because it is urgent that you hear from people in northern Syria about what Trump’s “troop withdrawal” really means for us—and it’s not clear how much time we have left to discuss it. I approach this task with all the humility at my disposal.

    They describe the threat that Trump's extraction imposes to Rojava and speculate on two possible outcomes for the region conditioned on whether or not the Syria regime sides with or against the Turks in their aggression.

    The author also claims that the Turkish threat, enabled by Trump's decision to leave, is possibly the only pressure that could secure a future for Daesh/ISIS in the region.
