The USA is working on doing the same thing with the northeast third of Syria. Hence Trump has announced that their will be no Syria withdrawal after all.<br /><br />Sudan considered resisting militarily, but decided not to, since the region was a basket case of endless civil war, and remains so today. Good riddance.Konradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739209449391854796noreply@blogger.com
