The fight against Isis does not seem to be going too well in Iraq either. AP has this report on growing pubic disgruntlement at the Iraqi government's military campaign against Isis. The west is pinning much on the new prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, to wage a more effective campaign against the jihadists. There were lots of clashes last night between YPG and IS,” Idris Nahsen, a Kurdish official still in Kobani, told AFP by telephone.
Smoke rises after an airstrike in Kobani, Syria as fighting intensified between Syrian Kurds and the militants of Islamic State group, Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2014. The battle for Kobani has united Kurds across the region, who have launched angry protests in several Turkish cities as well as at the border, hurling missiles at police and who fired volleys of tear gas back. The Kurds, an ethnic group spread across much of the Middle East have borne the brunt of much of the war against ISIS.
