Cowardly decisions have horrible consequences. In the sense of making a rash decision that hurt America's allies without adequate reason or warning, Donald Trump is a vile coward.
Hevrin Khalaf (1984 - October 12, 2019) was a Kurdish Syrian politician who was Secretary General of the Future Syria Party. She was killed by Turkish-backed forces near the M4 Motorway in Northern Syria during the Turkish military operation against Kurdish SDF forces in Rojava on 12 October 2019.
The Telegraph reported that "Kurdish officials said rebel fighters intercepted a car carrying Hevrin Khalaf", but that the National Army, a rebel group fighting along side Turkey, denied responsibility for the killing.[1] Khalaf was one of a number of civilians who lost her life during the first days of the Turkish-backed military operation, with the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reporting that “nine civilians were executed at different moments south of the town of Tal Abyad”.[2]
Kurdish analyst Mutlu Civiroglu, told the Guardian that Khalaf's death was a “great loss”, and described her as having "a talent for diplomacy".[3] Future Syria Party released a statement saying that, “With utmost grievance and sadness, the Syria Future Party mourns the martyrdom of engineer Havrin Khalaf, the General Secretary of Syria Future Party, while she was performing her patriotic and political duties”[3]. Khalaf was 35 at the time of her death.[4] A video which circulated on social media purportedly showed the bullet-ridden vehicle in which Khalaf had been travelling with translators and other Kurdish personnel surrounded by rebel militants.[5]
