Despatch Of Peshmerga Forces Delayed As Turkey's Erdogan Accused Of Stırrıng The Pot

Nations intone Never again.” But we are watching a human catastrophe. Western powers fail to employ their massive resources. This map released by ISIS shows their five year plan to spread the ISIL caliphate from north Africa to South-East Asia. If Kobane falls, al-Qaeda is successful in destabilizing Yemen , and the Muslim brotherhood is able to agitate in Egypt these large pockets of ISIS control may be strong enough to encourage Jihadist elements in Saudi Arabia and other Western aligned Gulf States to rise up as well. OPINION: If ISIS is able to open up multiple fronts in its' effort to create a caliphate across this enormous land mass, and do it with local forces using urban areas and homegrown weapons to attack, it will be very hard for the US and its allies to use air-power to combat the rise of fundamentalist power. My relatives are there coming under fire from bombs, from tanks, from war, and here is the Turkish tanks and army and they're not letting us do anything. They only want us to go there to take their corpses,” he said. The kobane news YPG said that a vehicle carrying ISIS gang members was destroyed, with ISIS fighters inside it, near the Seyran wedding hall on the Aleppo road. Six gang members were killed and three others were wounded in this attack. The Guardian's Mona Mahmood ( @monamood ) has spoken by telephone with Farhad Baqer, a resident of Kobani who fled the fighting with his wife, four daughters and parents, all now refugees in Turkey. The Turkish authorities have evacuated the nearby villages to secure the life of the civilians, but their tanks are watching how ISIS militants are fighting and killing the Kurdish people and they do not do anything to stop that. EDITOR: All very clever. It will certainly convince the simple minded. The fact is that the Islamic State do not control all of Kobane. They still hold around 50%, perhaps a little more, as illustrated in the map below (scroll down to earlier report - IS-held territory is in black). As you will see from that map, it is very easy to stand on the roof of a house in the north-eastern part of that IS-held territory and report with Turkey in the background. Turkey says the scope of the campaign in Syria should be broadened to seek to remove Assad from power. It has sought a no-fly zone in northern Syria, which would require the coalition to take on Assad's air force as well as Islamic State, kobane news a move Washington has not agreed to. However with Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) fighters seeking to halt the IS advance, a Kurdish flag could still be seen flying from a roof in the centre of the town, the correspondent said. ISIS took control of the municipal council, customs office, border crossing and Iraqi police station, increasing its already significant presence on the main route between Baghdad and Aleppo. The Iraqi government kobane news said it abandoned the crossing in a strategic move to concentrate forces in Baghdad. Several clashes occurred at the outskirts of Samarra, where Shiite militiamen have been sent to protect the Al-Askari Shrine. The first ally of the Kurdish resistance should not be the US imperialist superpower or any other capitalist force, but the active and independent mobilisation of working people and the poor in the region and internationally. An undermining of Rojava's gains by pro-capitalist, kobane news pro-imperialist forces would, on the contrary, be a setback and complicate the long-standing struggle of Kurdish people for their rights, as well as the much needed united struggle of all the poor and oppressed people of the region in pursuit of a better life.

Syria's second-largest city and part of humanity's ancient heritage, Aleppo is the martyred center of the resistance to Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, having been under constant bombardment by his forces since 2012. Now Aleppo kobane news is caught between the regime's barrel bombs” and Daesh's cutthroats. To pause and restart automatic updates, click "Live" or "Paused". If paused, you'll be notified of the number of additional comments that have come in. Tanks and armoured vehicles were deployed to impose curfews in the predominantly Kurdish cities of Diyarbakir, Batman, Bingol, and Van, as well as other areas. Mr Erdogan's calculation that the Kurds cannot afford to open a second front against Turkey while they are grappling with the jihadists is being tested. Mr Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development party may be hurt by the turmoil, especially if it scares off foreign investors before parliamentary elections due to be held next summer.
