"Conflict" in the News

Gall, Carlotta, and Anne Barnard. “Turkey Begins Operation Against U.S.-Backed Kurdish Militias in Syria.” The New York Times. The New York Times, 19 Jan. 2018. Web. 23 Jan. 2018. www.nytimes.com/2018/01/19/world/middleeast/turkey-kurds-syria-afrin.html.

Carlotta Gall and Anne Barnard describe the violent conflict between Turkey, the United States, and Syria in their article, “Turkey Begins Operation Against U.S.-Backed Kurdish Militias in Syria”. The United States have troops located in Syria to fight ISIS and support Syria’s Kurdish Militias, but Turkey is opposed to this because they believe that the Kurdish Militias are a terrorist group with intentions of harming Turkey. As a result, Turkey fired shells on Syria because of domestic politics and the debate over borders despite the warning from the United States and Syria. Ultimately, the conflict is a violent representation of the lack in communication and politics among multiple nations.
