So the Federation of Northern Syria, made up of free and diverse minorities who have fought with the U.S. against ISIS, is being bombed by NATO member Turkey, another U.S. ally.
Christian church leaders distributed a letter last Saturday:
"20 January, 2018
To Whom It May Concern,
CHRISTIAN CHURCHES UNDER TURKISH ATTACKS IN AFRIN, NORTH SYRIA
As the Leaders of the Christian churches in North Syria, in the town of Efrin we hereby confirm that we are under attack by Turkey.
The lives of our women and children are in danger. The city of Afrin is being bombarded by Turkish airstrikes. We are asking for intervention, and protection against the violent attacks which are being levied against us at this moment.
Many lives are in mortal danger. We are requesting aid and assistance. We are unable to protect ourselves or our families against these attacks, neither are we able to offer assistance or shelter to the innocents.
Please help us.
In Christ’s service,
Pastor Hakim Ali Ismael
Senior Pastor/Network Leader
