#Turkey continues to weaponize water against the people of NE #Syria by illegally reducing the water flow to Tabqa Dam. It survived #ISIS but Walet Darwish from #AANES showed how Turkey’s actions have devastated agriculture & drastically limited electricity. pic.twitter.com/4BoDxA0tjZ

The resiliency of the people of #Raqqa #Syria & Co-Chair Laila Mustafa is amazing to see firsthand. As HQ of the #ISIS Caliphate, it was almost completely destroyed during its liberation in 2017. They are busy rebuilding & providing services without much intl help. So Inspiring! pic.twitter.com/2SAVibO9jj

Wonderful being back in NE #Syria with @abo_omar_idleb, head of the #Idlib #NorthernBrigade that is part of #SDF.
Heartbreaking that 8 brigade members have recently been killed by #Turkish forces & their Islamist militias in Ain Issa, again breaking the ceasefire. pic.twitter.com/qo3mW0zOWZ
