Anyone find it odd that the UNHCR hasn’t yet condemned the Kurdish genocide in NE Syria? Is it possible that it isn’t happening?

Sarcasm? Venezuela just got appointed to the UNHCR...it's not something I would take as a serious body politic.

No, just find it strange the international community would sit idly by when an ethnic group is being decimated by a nation state beyond the eyes of journalists, social media, etc.
In absence of any substantiated claims, I’m suspicious.
They released a statement about it today

Not doubting the impact of the war on civilian population but refugees do not equate to systemic killing of a group of people.

I bet they even told us they were going to shell the area...or maybe I'm that cynical.

Turkey, Russia Reach Deal To Control Syrian Areas Once Patrolled By The U.S.
Under the deal, Russian military police and Syrian border guards will first facilitate the withdrawal of Syrian Kurdish forces from the Turkish border. Russians and Turks will then jointly patrol the area now occupied by the Turkish military. Russian military police and border guards from Syria will cross the over the Syrian side of the border with Turkey. At that point, the two forces will "facilitate the removal of YPG elements and their weapons," according to the memorandum.

Pretty sure I seen a news interview where PresidentTrump said a year or two ago Russia and Turkey could figure it out after we smash IS.
To my way of thinking, the Kurds which are being pushed back are going to be replaced by displaced Syrians who are currently in Turkey near that border region.
Classic Russian move. Kill all the unwanted and replace with the wanted. That's why there's so much Russian support in Ukraine and Crimea specifically. They are the offspring of Russian's moved into the area.
