A Turkish Kurd walks at Mursitpinar on the outskirts of Suruc, at the Turkey-Syria border, as smoke from a fire caused by a strike rises over Kobani, inside Syria, as fighting intensifies between Syrian Kurds and the militants of Islamic State, Oct.
According to the prime minister of the Kobane canton, Anwar Muslim, the forces have made progress on the western front and are now able to protect the thousands of civilians collected there who are waiting to cross the border into Turkey. Also in the centre of Kobane yesterday was 42-year-old Mohammad, a fighter with the YPG and former farmer who said he watched as his comrades executed 90 Isil prisoners four days ago.
The reluctance of Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to aid Kobane—even in the name of supporting his American allies as they give air support to the beleaguered defenders—is as obstinate as it is puzzling. It is also counter-productive, given that it drives a wedge between Turkey and America and heightens tension with Turkey's own Kurdish minority. It may yet rekindle Turkish Kurds' long but now dormant insurgency.
SOHR was informed that clashes took place between ISIS and YPG hundreds of meters away form Ein al-Arab Kobane from the easte and south-east of the city, clashes also taking place 2-3 kms away west of the city, amid fears of breaking into the city by the IS at any moment and commites massacres and kills whats left of the civilians who refused to flee their houses ISIS have taken over 350 villages in the past 16 days, and displaces no less than 300,000 from Kobane and Its countryside, the IS also stool dozens of thousands of sheep , houses , cars ISIS also settled its supporters in Zerek village in the western countryside of Ein al-Arab Kobane” , and slaughtered a Kurdish civilian from Seren area, after he was captured.
Coalition aircraft carried out fresh strikes in Kobani. Fighter jets, bombers and unmanned drone planes hit Isis fighters in several locations south of Kobani on Monday and Tuesday, destroying four armed vehicles, anti-aircraft kobane news artillery, a tank and a jihadist unit,” said US Central Command. Afkhan warned of a humanitarian catastrophe in Kobani and said Iran was sending aid to try to alleviate the dire” situation for people there.
Nearly two months after ISIS launched its lightning assault on the Kurdish-dominated town near Turkish border, the group is bogged down in an increasingly entrenched and costly battle. Kobani residents say recent U.S. airstrikes targeting Islamic State in Kobani have inflicted heavy damage. "Their bodies are left for days rotting in the street without anyone picking them up," said Farhad Shami, a Kobani-based activist.
Roshid and Hassan were both killed earlier this month while fighting in the battle for Kobane. It is unclear exactly how they died, although Hassan reported seeing between 20-40” air strikes from American fighter kobane news jets a few days before his death. The YPG itself, meanwhile, is trying to push forces through from Ras al-Ain to Tel Abyad on the eastern edge of the enclave. A concerted Kurdish military effort is under way.
Although all the groups had previously worked together to battle the Assad regime, things fell apart last week when in a major assault on Government positions in Idlib city in which key buildings were captured, ANF felt the moderate Syrian Revolutionary Front (SRF) had sat on its hands” leaving them to do all the fighting and forcing them to withdraw. The worst thing I saw was a man getting his head hacked off in front of me,” she said.
All forces fighting in Kobane have still not received any sophisticated weapons from coalition forces yet, he said, demanding more support. Our fighters are still using light weapons against ISIL. We still need more support from the kobane news Friends of Syria countries, because ISIL terrorists have been bringing forces form other cities to Kobane,” he added. Turkish riot police advance as they try to disperse people who were protesting against Turkey's policy in Syria.
Aerial footage of the town, which the IS group has stamped as having been shot by a "drone of the Islamic State Army", shows a wrecked city with a street layout that corresponds to that of the pre-war satellite maps of Kobane. In the video released on Monday, Cantlie dismisses reports that IS forces have failed in their assault on the Kurdish town, declaring that they hold the east and south of Kobane and that their victory there is only a matter of time.
