- The director of the
Criminal Police Association, André Schulz, estimates that up to
90% of the sex crimes committed in Germany do not appear in the
official statistics.
- "There is a
strict order by the authorities to not report on crimes
committed by refugees," a high-ranking police official in
Frankfurt told Bild. "Only specific requests from
media representatives about such acts are to be answered."
- Germany's migrant sex-crime
problem is being exacerbated by its lenient legal system, in
which offenders receive relatively light sentences, even for
serious crimes. In many instances, individuals who are arrested
for sex crimes are released after questioning from police. This
practice allows suspects to continue committing crimes with
virtual impunity.

Germany's migrant rape crisis continues unabated.
Preliminary statistics show that migrants committed more than a dozen
rapes or sexual assaults every day in 2017, a four-fold increase
since 2014, the year before Chancellor Angela Merkel allowed into
Germany more than a million mostly Muslim male migrants from Africa,
Asia and the Middle East.

- The remaining 17
groups that make up the Syrian portion of Operation Olive Branch
are a combination of Salafist, jihadist and ultra-extremist
militants who have been either formed or supported by Turkey at
various stages of Syria's seven-year civil war.

In its offensive launched on January 20 against
Kurdish fighters in northern Syria, Turkey has deployed more than
25,000 Syrian rebel fighters who have been equipped and trained by
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's powerful military.
The offensive, code-named Operation Olive Branch, aims
at dislodging the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) from the
Kurdish enclave of Afrin. On March 18, Turkish military and allied
jihadist rebels took control of Afrin's city center. Turkey views the
YPG as an extension of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), an
insurgent group that has been fighting for greater Kurdish autonomy
in Turkey's southeast. Backed by the United States, the YPG has been
instrumental in the U.S.-led war on terror in Syria since 2014.
