Turkey has vowed to resume its offensive unless all Kurdish fighters laid down their weapons and withdrew from the buffer zone by the end of the ceasefire, which was negotiated last week during a meeting between Erdogan and Pence

“It’s unprecedented that Kurds feel so much apathy – and show so little respect to Americans,” said Shivan Fazil, a political analyst based in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdish autonomous region in neighbouring Iraq. The SDF said on Monday that it had left the battle-scarred town of Ras al-Ayn, near the Turkish border. However, there was no sign that Kurdish fighters had pulled back from other towns in the region.

It was unclear Monday whether Turkey would seek to create the 30-kilometre buffer zone anyway, and what Russian and Syrian forces might do to stop them. Many Syrian Kurds will also be unhappy to see the return of Mr. Assad’s iron-fisted rule to the rest of the region.
