Turkey Plays ‘Risk’ In The South

Those in Turkey should avoid the town of Karkamis over the next few days. The government ordered the entire town to evacuate after it was hit from ISIS militants in Syria. The newly formed ghost town is expected to host Turkish-backed rebels over the coming days, who will prep their next offensive. Karkamis lies just across the border from the ISIS-held Jarablus. Since it was getting less and less safe for residents in Karkamis anyway, Turkey’s evacuation will make Karkamis ideal to host the rebel forces while they plan to take on nearby Jarablus.
