'We don't trust America anymore.' Life and death in Syria as U.S. troops withdraw:
In Qamishli, an 8-year-old named Sara was lying in a hospital bed, enduring unimaginable pain after losing her leg in an artillery shell explosion.
That was just one of the huge losses this family is suffering. The blast also killed Sara's older brother Mohammed. He was just 13 years old.From her hospital bed, Sara clung to her mother and cried out for her other brother Ahmed, who was also injured."I told him, 'Get up, Get up,' and he didn’t," he said.
It's only been 10 days since President Donald Trump made the sudden decision to withdraw Americans from the Northern Syrian border. Trump later revealed that it was just 28 U.S. troops holding the line between peace and war. Two years ago, ABC News was in Syria as Kurdish forces made the final push to retake the city of Raqqa, the former capital of the ISIS caliphate."If there is no determination on the ground, there will be no progress," Bawer said in 2017.
Bawer was the eldest of the family's nine children. Her sister Naila is a beautiful mirror image of her. "Everywhere Sozdar went, she strived for women's freedom and the freedom of our nation," Simko added."Sozdar has a dream and her death was very hard for us to take."Russia is now filling the void left by the U.S., helping the Syrian military to back the Kurds. The Syrian Democratic Forces is now aligning with Bashar al-Assad’s regime, which is accused of war crimes against its own people.
In this cemetery, every single tombstone, marking the final resting place of volunteers like Bawer, is marked the same."Sozdar was always on the front lines. She was a capable and seasoned fighter," she said."America is responsible for these children being killed." But Erdogan so far has been defiant, saying he won't sign a ceasefire agreement. His tanks and troops are crossing the border and advancing on the Syrian city of Manbij.
