War Wages on in Syria
By CAMERON KROETZ
The Syrian Civil war has been raging since 2011 and with it has come the creation of countless rebel groups, some of which fall under the category of jihadist terror organizations such as the so-called Islamic State (Isis). This civil war has devastated the region, killing over 470,000 people and creating over 4.8 million refugees. The war began with the main concern being the belligerence of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad but now the main threat is Isis. Isis has caused extreme devastation and terror worldwide in attacks such as those in Paris and Brussels, but Turkey has been forced to endure countless deadly attacks. With many attacks occurring on Turkish soil and an attempted coup in July, the Turkish government decided they must do something to show their might and put an end to the attacks. Turkey’s military mounted a NATO-backed full invasion of Syria on August 24th. Their first goal was to rid the Syrian town of Jarablus on the Turkish border of Isis fighters; the Turks and their allies liberated the city on August 29th as their Kurdish adversaries to the South liberated the southern portions of the city. The Kurds, an ethnic group that lives in northeastern Turkey, northwestern Iraq, and eastern Syria, are backed by the U.S. but are seen as an insurgent group by the Turkish government. The Turk-Kurd conflict proves to be a conflict when it comes to American-Turkish relations. While the liberation of Jarablus pushed Isis away from the border, it has created another issue between the Kurds and Turkey... Fire Ignites in Southern California

The unruly fire burned along the Blue Cut hiking trail near the Cajon Pass north of San Bernardino, which is an area known for its high-speed winds of 20-30 miles per hour... |
