BEIRUT - Driven from his hometown in northeast Syria as bombs rained down in a Turkish assault, a Kurdish father worried for his toddler son, who was ill, and accused America of betraying the Kurds in the region.
His hometown, Kobani, was the birthplace of a U.S.-Kurdish military alliance some five years ago, when Washington intervened with air strikes to help Kurdish fighters turn the tide against Islamic State. That made the U.S. pullout even more bitter. Meshmesh said he would rather have Syrian troops take his hometown than see it fall to Turkish forces — which he fears would make him a target for his Kurdish ethnicity. Turkey launched the operation in the region to target the YPG, which it brands a threat to Turkey.

I can’t sleep at night,” said the opposition activist, who is in his 20s and didn’t want to give his name because he is afraid of retribution. “I don’t know what I’m going to do.”
