Within about an hour of United States Vice President Mike Pence announcing what he called a negotiated “cease fire” in Turkey’s attack on the Kurdish people living in Northeastern Syria, the Kurds flatly rejected the deal, saying that the agreement meant that they would be forced to abandon the territory that has served as home to the otherwise stateless people since 2012, when Syrian forces withdrew from the region. As The Inquisitr reported, foreign policy experts also quickly blasted the deal announced by Pence as a “surrender.”
The “cease fire,” a pause in Turkish hostilities that is scheduled to last only 120 hours — that is, five days — required the Kurds to leave the region that they have named “Rojava,” to establish what the agreement refers to as a “safe zone” along the Syria-Turkish border.
