Kurdish officials report that their fighters have evacuated the town of Ras al-Ayn, letting Turkey and its allies to gain control of this border city within the once US troop occupied, 20-mile buffer zone, between Turkey and Syria. The withdrawal of Kurdish forces from the border city was part of the five-day, US ceasefire between the two forces (Turkish militants and Kurdish soldiers). However tensions are still high between the two nations, and Trump continues to face heavy bipartisan critique of his decision to pull the US from the buffer zone. The conflict is not over and the world continues to stress the need for a solution to this crisis. theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/20/nancy-pelosi-visits-jordan-to-discuss-turkish-syria-incursion
