The Latest İnternational News As Video On Demand


Fighters from Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) backed by tanks and artilleray have pushed into the Syrian town of Kobani for the first time, sparking street-to-street fighting and an order from its Kurdish defenders for all civilians to flee. The military is still in the secular camp and might stop Erdogan but so far he has used all dirty tricks to put his henchmen in places of importance. As long as he lives I do not trust Turkey. unfortunately, to bottle up Russia so that they don't have freedom to come and go as they please from the Black Sea. Watching current events, I think one Kurd is worth a hundred Turks, and a thousand Arabs. Saddam had Grand Ayatollah Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr executed using, according to some, an electric drill and according to others, a nail to the forehead. That was a huge deal - he was truly the most kobani,kobane,ypg influential and loved Shia' cleric in Iraq. Many former Saddam era special forces soldiers have joined ISIL. So now, Shia' militias are reported to have executed prisoners using drills and nails. But very, very few countries have anywhere near the numbers of women serving directly in combat as they do with the Kurds. Israel and Sri Lanka are the only two I know of, and I'm not sure how significant of a percentage of the Sri Lankan military forces are women. Honestly, I had a hard time coming by information on the subject. If you know of sources besides wikipedia I'd be grateful. ammunition, as well as food and water into Kobani, but I don't see how it is possible right now. And the US didn't support it because the US needs Turkey as a check on Russia in the Black Sea, as well as a firm bulwark against the rest of the middle east. And because the US hates leftists, as I've noted here kobani,kobane,ypg numerous times. The US supports and trains "moderate" and passive protesters, not leftists. Why are we always letting the down the Kurds? They seem to be sanest, bravest, and most ecumenical faction out there. But in this case the immediate solution is to help the Kurds and the Turks who are supporting them in Kobani however the US can. Right now that's airstrikes on daesh(ISIS). While they are on paper, our "ally", they are not in any way, kobani,kobane,ypg shape or form, "allied" with our tactical, strategic or political goals for the region, as failed and flawed as they are. Perhaps they are just really, really short-sighted. Or perhaps they are making a secret diplomacy with ISIS. In my discussion with President Obama, I emphasized the importance of the respect of the sovereignty of Iraq and the territorial integrity of Iraq. And as a Prime Minister of Iraq, I reaffirmed the importance for all forces that want to help Iraq to respect the sovereignty of Iraq and its territorial integrity. I am very thankful for President Obama and all the allies, all who are helping, for maintaining and respecting the territorial integrity of Iraq and its sovereignty. My fourth and final point is a simple one: the countries of the Arab and Muslim world must focus on the extraordinary potential of their people - especially the youth. You have demonstrated that when young people have kobani,kobane,ypg the tools to succeed -good schools; education in math and science; an economy that nurtures creativity and entrepreneurship - then societies will flourish. So America will partner with those who promote that vision. I'll agree with you that the League of Nations (which the US was not a part of, due to adopting isolationism, like so many progressives want to do today) did "stand around and allow Mussoliini" to invade League member Ethiopia and when Ethiopia surprisingly was kicking Italy's troops' ass, Mussolini decided to use gas on the population, and the League did absolutely nothing (which would be a policy advocated by today's progressives, sadly). But Ethopia's leader got Time Man Of The Year, so at least there's that.

United Nations News Centre

Two UK trade unions have issued statements in support of the Kurdish resistance in Kobane. Unite - the UK's biggest trade union - offers support and solidarity to the people of Kobane who have been in a relentless battle over the past month to protect their city, their human rights and secular society”. Iraqi Kurdish forces continue to battle Islamic State in an attempt to break the Siege of Kobane and gain control of the city on the Syrian Turkish border. On daily basis smoke is seen billowing into the sky from the intense fighting. Makeshift classrooms in tents for a few refugees in the Turkish border town of Suruc offer some semblance of normality in the difficult conditions they are living in.
The commission has engaged with the Turkish authorities to discuss ways to enhance the ongoing support to the Kobanê refugees in Turkey. But it is reported that 7,000-10,000 civilians are still trapped in the town and in need of kobane news assistance, and it is feared ISIL has already committed large scale executions in the areas that it controls around Kobanê. Mr. President, honorable members, thank you for your attention, and I look forward to our discussion. Several trucks, carrying Katyusha rocket launchers, mortars and heavy machineguns, rolled into Kobane late on Friday, according to Faysal Sariyildiz, a Kurdish lawmaker in Turkey's parliament. US-led warplanes struck Islamic militants battling local Kurdish fighters in southern part of the town, he said. The US military has said it sees "encouraging" signs in the battle for Kobane, but has warned the town may still fall. Turkey has come under increasing pressure over the last month to step up its support for the international coalition fighting the Islamic State (IS) militants. But Ankara has so far refused to use its own troops or to let US forces launch their bombing raids on IS from the Incirlik air base in the Turkish province of Adana. Some have expressed fear that a deployment of Peshmerga fighters to Kobane would leave them short-staffed in the fight against IS in Iraq. Advances and defeats continue on both sides, with an IS convoy destroyed near Bawabt Al-Sham with many Jihadists killed but the Islamic State capturing a Peshmerga fortress north-east of Mosul and many Peshmerga dying also. Wives of men from the Amariyat Al-Fallujah area who have fled to safer towns, say that IS is forcing their husbands to fight for them. For all Mr Erdogan's disclaimers, Turkey still evidently regards Isis as a lesser enemy than Assad.kobani news Lastly, analysts have found a new way of recording the numbers of displaced persons in war-torn countries like Syria. Here are are the light levels at night recorded by satellites for the period when the conflict began, on the left, and February of 2014, on the right. The night time light levels have decreased 74% during that period overall, 60% in 12 out of 14 provinces, with some cities being almost completely extinguished. Lawmakers there agreed Wednesday to send their peshmerga fighters after Turkey said it would allow 200 of them to travel through its territory to Kobane, where IS has an estimated 1,000 militants. On the ground, the jihadists kobane news made fresh advances in and around Kobane, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The IS group had also taken control of a string of villages west of Kobane, after days of trading territory with the Kurds. Despite having limited strategic significance, Kobane has become a powerful international symbol in the battle against the hardline Sunni Muslim insurgents who have captured large expanses of Iraq and Syria and declared an Islamic "caliphate". kobane news The Kobane battle has raged in full view of the Turkish frontier, testing whether a US-led coalition can halt Islamic State's advance. The failure of Turkey to help defend the town sparked riots among Turkish Kurds in which 40 people died.kobane news A news article said that since WW1, the Jews have ruled Turkey secretly. So why would Turkey want to get involved The Satanic , Luceriferian Jews need this war in the Middle East to continue as long as possible because , they want Iran out of the way and only by continuing the war wil Iran eventually become involved in som way for Israel , or Israel to use the United States to take Iran out of their way for control of the whole Middle East.

Turkey's Leaders See Kobani As Opportunity, Not Threat

John Cantlie, the British hostage being held by the Islamic State, has appeared in a mock news report claiming to be from inside kobane news Kobane, saying the battle is "coming to an end". The film includes "drone shots" of what is said to be the beleaguered city. After capturing Mosul, Tikrit and parts of a refinery in Baiji, insurgents attacked Samarra, where Shiite militias helped pro-government forces. Then, they seized Jalawla and Sadiyah but were forced back by government troops backed by Kurdish forces. They continued their moves south by Ishaki and Dujail. But not only have they abandoned us, they have been helping the tyrant Bashar instead,” the SRF claimed.
It was too hard to get a flat in Orfa town for $2,000 a year, 30km from the Turkish borders. Lots of Kobani refugees are hanging on in parks and roads now for lack of money. My brothers decided to stay at home to protect our house and fight with the PKK but they were ordered to leave last week as they are civilians who lack military training. He was one of the worst people,” she said of the man tasked with finding wives for both local and foreign fighters.kobani news latest Previous Blogs here and here" If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear." George Orwell. The faithful adherent of a religion will try first of all to convince those that believe in another religion and usually he goes on to hatred if he is not successful. This book is based on the statements of the world's leading Shariah authorities and Shariah academic scholars. The German magazine, De Spiegel, reported that one hundred textile factories and workshops in the Syrian city of Aleppo were moved to the eastern canton of Rojava, Efrîn, recently. The attitude of the regional government of Efrîn, actively seeking to attract private companies to the region, highlights the inherent contradiction of attempting to build a new model based on social justice, while working within the framework of capitalism. kobane news The development of what the PYD and the PKK refers to as democratic confederalism”, without getting rid of the profiteering and exploitative nature of capitalist property, and without the implementation of a thoroughgoing land reform, will lead to competition between localities for capital investment and its inevitable corollary: a renewed ‘race to the bottom' when it comes to workers' rights and living standards. YPG, along with the Kurdish Front (KF) and some other Free Syrian Army (FSA) brigades, also managed to break ISIS attacks from the east of Kobane which were aimed at sandwiching in YPG forces from both directions. It is known that there was intense clashes between YPG fighters and hundreds of ISIS fighters supported by tanks from Tel Abyad who had launched an attack that began on Monday the 7th of July and continued on Tuesday and Wednesday. Local sources reported that the YPG had destroyed several tanks and killed tens of ISIS members while also adding that the YPH had also suffered serious losses.kobane news Both Turkish and Kurdish leaders have struck a note of optimism in recent days, predicting that a peace settlement to end the insurgency, which has claimed 40,000 lives, could be only months away. If the beheadings and dismemberments were not horrible enough, another disturbing new revelation from Kobane are reports that the most brutal member of the jihadis appear to be Europeans. Intense rioting broke out this month within Turkey's 15 million strong Kurdish community over the government's failure to help Kobane, and since then Ankara has vowed to take concrete steps in the two-year-long kobane news peace negotiations with jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan. It is the second video he has featured in since the death of his father Paul Cantlie, 80, who died from complications following pneumonia last week. There is also a report that the Lebanese Government refused to accept 11 Assad Government fighters sent to their border for assistance. The Al-Nusra Front is still in control of the remains of Quneitra city kobane news and a UN outpost in the demilitarised zone between Syria and Israel. SOHR have recorded 5772 people killed in Syria in October alone. 1064 of these were civilians, including 265 children and 112 women. Turkey has also allowed heavily armed forces from the Iraqi Kurdish Pehsmerga into the town to fight alongside Syrian Kurds. Elsewhere in Syria, US-led airstrikes overnight struck an oilfield controlled by the Islamic State in the eastern province of Deir-al Zour, activists said. Neither side has gained a decisive advantage in the fighting, which has forced almost 200,000 Syrian Kurds to flee into Turkey.

After Kobane, Saving Aleppo

In mid-September, Islamic State militants launched an offensive to seize Kobane, a predominantly Kurdish town in Syria just across the border from Turkey. In the kobane news following weeks, Turkey closed its border, leaving thousands of civilians stuck inside the active war zone, trying to get past the tightly controlled crossings. America is putting the defence of the Iraqi government and the destruction of Islamic State's command structures ahead of defending the embattled Kurdish city of Kobani, a leading member of the Obama administration has admitted. Tony Blinkin, US Deputy National Security Advisor, said on a visit to London that the focus of the American-led coalition was "in the first instance in Iraq".kobane news today 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. Erdogan said more than 200,000 people have fled the fighting in and around Kobani in recent weeks. Their flight is among the largest single exoduses of the three-year Syrian conflict.kobani news live
Islamic State group jihadists were in control Thursday of more than one-third of the Syrian border town of Kobane after pushing back its Kurdish defenders, a monitoring group said. In an indication of the tensions that remain between Washington and and Ankara on how to deal with the Islamic State group, Erdogan said he could not understand why Kobane was so strategic for the United States. Turkish soldiers stand guard as protesters run away from tear gas during a pro-Kurdish demonstration in solidarity with the people of Kobani, near the Mursitpinar border crossing on the Turkish-Syrian border, kobane news Oct. 7, 2014. Newly arrived Syrian Kurdish refugees walk with their belongings after crossing into Turkey from the Syrian border town Kobani, near the southeastern Turkish town of Suruc, Oct. 7, 2014. On Friday, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper presented a motion before the House of Commons about the possibility of his nation taking part in military operations against ISIS in Iraq, including airstrikes. The lower house of Parliament is debating the issue. Cantlie, a photojournalist who also wrote several articles for major British newspapers, was kidnapped in November 2012 along with American journalist James Foley. Abadi's talks in Iran are part of his bid "to unite the efforts of the region and the world to help Iraq in its war against the terrorist group," his office said. This is the horrific reality described by the Kurds who have managed to flee into Turkey from Kobane, where the barbaric fanatics hold sway, despite coalition air strikes. Terrified civilians are stuck in the town and in a no-man's land between the outskirts and the border, which is closed to them. Furthermore, being a border city with Suruc of Sanliurfa province of Turkey, seizing Kobane will also allow ISIS to control the Mursitpinar Border Gate with Turkey as well. It is well known that ISIS gives specific importance to border gates especially for trade, easy crossing for fighters and logistics, the treatment of injured fighters etc. In this regard, it is increasingly likely that ISIS will plan attacks on other border crossings controlled by the Kurds like Serekaniye and Til Kocer, and crossings controlled by rival Islamist groups in Azaz. Since the start of the war in Syria in early 2011, the number of people fleeing the country has swelled to more than 3 million - half of them children. But the US has accepted only a miniscule few - just 36 in 2013. The US - which traditionally accepts more refugees than any other country- has resettled 191 Syrian refugees since March 2011, although the vast majority of these applied for resettlement before the conflict broke out, a State Department spokesperson said in an email. Nassan's comments came a day after the Pentagon spokesman said Kobani remains under threat of falling to the ISIS fighters Rear Adm. John Kirby said two weeks of airstrikes have killed hundreds of ISIS fighters, and have stiffened Kobani's defenders. This is not true. The US is NOT helping, and if anyone is helping the Syrian Kurds it is Iran, which supports the embattled Syrian government.

IraqI Kurds Set For Kobane Fight

Three people in Helsinki have started a hunger strike in protest at what they see as inadequate action from the EU and the Finnish state to help defend the besieged Syrian Kurdish town of Kobane.kobani news live The latest air strikes came as heavily armed peshmerga forces were poised to cross the Turkish border into Kobane to help the local Kurdish militia that has held out against a relentless assault by ISIL militants for weeks. Under heavy pressure from the United States, Turkey announced last week it would allow fighters from Iraq's autonomous Kurdish province to cross its territory to join the fight for Kobane. Washington has forged an alliance of Western and Arab nations to combat IS and the coalition has carried out a barrage of air strikes on the jihadists in recent weeks. The group arose in the chaos of Syria's civil war, an uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's regime that has killed more than 180,000 people and forced millions from their homes in the last three-and-a-half years. That's why IS has even taken the really scary step of bringing the Chechen to Kobane. You know why you bring in the Chechen? Because balrogs don't actually exist. Chechens are the next best thing, and the Chechen in question, Abu Omar al-Shishani ( Omar the Chechen ”), was transferred this week from the Sinjar front, where he was in charge of slaughtering Yazidi refugees. Omar has been brought to Kobane as a fixer, with the job of closing down the border before reinforcements can reach the YPG. For the last several months, news reports about the onward march of the fascists of Islamic state” have echoed that same sense of inevitability. Iraq's second largest city, Mosul, fell in June. Tikrit, Saddam Hussein's home town, fell the next kobane news day. In August, the Yazidi stronghold Sinjar fell. Every day brought new reports of victories for the Islamists. ISIS seemed unstoppable. Note: Strikes were not reported comprehensively day by day, so some may be missing from daily tallies.
The video, the latest in a series featuring 43-year-old kidnapped reporter John Cantlie, shows him in a war-damaged town, talking to the camera and rejecting US claims that the "mujahedeen" are in retreat. There is no indication in the video of when it was shot, but Cantlie refers to a news report that was broadcast by the BBC on October 17 and to remarks made by a US military spokesman on October 16. In addition, ISIS also wants to cut Kobane from the Kurdish Mountain Region (Kurd Dagh) or Canton of Afrin and Canton of Jazira (Hasakah). As of now, moving between three Kurdish Cantons is difficult. According to local officials, currently hundreds of civilians are also held hostage in Jarablus and Tall Abyad. Also some 130 Kurdish students who were kidnapped by the group remain in captivity for over a month after they were kidnapped as they were returning from school exams in Aleppo. Despite all calls from international human rights groups those children and other civilians are still not released and are being used as a bargaining chip to pressurise YPG, according to local human rights defenders.kobani news today ISIS released a video of Foley's beheading last month. This month, the group released videos showing the slayings of two other Western hostages, American journalist Steven Sotloff and British aid worker David Haines. As a U.S. soldier, Jordan Matson never saw combat, yet now he's in Syria, fighting for the Kurdish militia. "All my life, I've wanted to be a soldier," he tells CNN's Ivan Watson. It's been extremely hot, they were living on meagre rations and had to be sparing with water. The centre of the town was still in Kurdish hands, Abdurrahman said. The two Isis flags were still flying in the east of the city on Tuesday, with a Kurdish flag flying in the centre. After initially setting up positions to the east, south and west of the town, Isis shelled Kobani for days to try to loosen up its defences. Just across the frontier in Turkey artillery, gunfire and smoke testified to the intensity of the fight all day on Monday. A US military airdrop of weapons meant for Kurdish fighters fell into the hands of the Islamic State group near the Syrian battleground town of Kobane. The US Air Force parachuted crates of weapons, ammunition and medical kobane news supplies on Sunday night to resupply Kurds defending the Syrian town of Kobane from IS militants. I told Obama that the PYD is in the same class as the PKK. I said it is also a terrorist organization,” Mr. Erdogan said.

The US today delivered a lifeline weapons shipment to Kurdish forces

The US today delivered a lifeline weapons shipment to Kurdish forces desperately kobane news defending the key Syrian border city of Kobane against Islamic State terrorists. Tensions have also been growing between the US and Erdoğan's regime. The US ruling class is increasingly unhappy with Turkey, a fellow NATO member. Washington believes Turkey has been backing the very forces the US has been bombing kobane news for the last few weeks, illustrating the unwillingness of some of US's partners in the misnamed Coalition of the willing”. A small advance party was reported to have entered the town to coordinate the arrival of their comrades. Many Kurds, some inside Kobane but others across the world, have expressed bewilderment as to why the world appears unable or unwilling to intervene when Isis fighters seem exposed on the hillside. Although UK operations are currently kobane news limited to Iraq the US has been striking targets within Syria, mainly "strategic" sites such as oil refineries. He and his sister hid in terror but the terrorists discovered the young girl then raped and killed her. US-led warplanes pummelled Islamic State fighters in Syria on Friday as Iraqi forces fought the jihadists west of Baghdad, with the US military reiterating that Iraq is its top priority. Two days of heavy air strikes by U.S. warplanes have slowed an advance by Islamic State militants against Kurdish forces defending the Syrian border town of Kobane. It has become clear that this was wrong,” Erdogan told reporters at Ankara airport before leaving on a trip to Latvia and Estonia. But this has been resisted by the Western allies while they work out which moderate opposition groups they will arm and train over coming months to provide the boots on the ground that the allies have refused to deploy to the region. Senior military sources have repeatedly told Sky News that it will take at least a year to train moderate rebels - and that who to train and where to train them has yet to be decided. In an alarming UN report this week presented to the Security Council, officials claimed that as many as 15,000 recruits from 80 countries have now been attracted to Syria and Iraq to fight with the Islamic State, Al Qaeda and other Jihadist groups since 2010. In a rare humane move, the Islamic State did however release 25 Kurdish children on Wednesday whom it had held hostage since May, after they were abducted from their school in Kobane. In Kobani, two successor entities to these states are clashing. The Kurds have organized three autonomous cantons stretching east to west from the Syria-Iraq border to close to the Mediterranean coast. The Sunni jihadis, for their part, have organized their own state,” going southeast to northwest. On Sunday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would not allow Kurdish fighters to receive any transfers of American arms. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said at least one of the loads dropped had been picked up by the jihadists. A video purportedly showing this has surfaced online. But Erdogan indicated that Turkey was equally troubled by the weapons falling into the hands of the PYD, whose armed branch the People's Protection Units (YPG) has led the fight against the jihadists.kobani news livekobane news today Earlier this month, U.S. military officers were speaking of ISIS's momentum,” and how its string of military successes over the past year meant that quickly halting its advance would likely prove difficult if not impossible. Yet, as far as Kobani is concerned, that seems to be what is taking place. In a move likely to anger key ally Turkey, a C-130 cargo aircraft conducted "multiple" airdrops of supplies provided by the Kurdish authorities in Iraq. The PKK (the Turkish Kurdistan Workers Party, linked with Syria's Kurdish Democratic Union Party) fights against ISIS but it is on the terror list and ISIS isn't,” said Zilan Deniz, a protester standing outside parliament on Thursday. Kobanê provides further evidence that military action by the coalition is necessary to contain ISIL. But at the same time, we need to recognize that military action alone is not sufficient to defeat ISIL.

Kurdish battle for kobani

In Turkey, thousands marched during the weekend in solidarity with the besieged Syrian city of Kobane. This comes after Ankara - under pressure at home and abroad - allowed heavily-armed Kurdish forces from Iraq to reach the city through Turkey to reinforce defenders there battling against ISIS. 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 Kobani and that their victory there is kobane news only a matter of time. On Friday, Kurdish fighters faced three attacks by IS militants in the east and near the centre, said the Britain-based Observatory, which has a wide network of sources inside Syria.kobani news update President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has insisted that the fighters of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) leading the battle against IS for Kobane are part of a "terror group" allied to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) who have fought Turkish security forces in a three decade insurgency for Kurdish self-rule. Kobani and its surrounding areas have been under attack since mid-September, with militants capturing dozens of nearby Kurdish villages.kobani news update
In that video he said that IS punished anyone that tried to escape by using the torture method known as waterboarding”, in which the victim believes that he is about to drown, as punishment and criticised the kobane news way the US and UK dealt with hostage negotiations. The video then homes in on a point filmed by the drone, naming it, and after it a second point which expands to reveal John Cantlie talking to the camera. The United States also will lose credibility and stature among Kurds, who in general are the most pro-Western people in the region. U.S. airstrikes came too late and did not have sufficient effect. The US policy toward the Syrian Kurds has been held hostage by NATO ally Turkey, kobane news as Washington must perform a difficult balancing act to get Turkey onboard an anti-ISIL coalition while also heeding Turkey's sensitivities towards the PKK, a recognized terrorist group. Yet Washington's policy approach to the Kurdish people is fraught with inconsistencies. Protesters clash with police during demonstrations against lack of action by the government towards Islamic State insurgents targeting the Syrian city of Kobane. An injured man covers his forehead while Turkish riot police use water cannons and tear gas to disperse people who were protesting against Turkey's policy in Syria. BREAKING: Kurdish PYD co-leader Asya Abdullah from Kobane told me that they suspect IS might have used chemical weapons against the city. The Kurdish militias in the region have a formidable reputation. But the YPG in Kobane is on the verge of collapsing under Islamic State's onslaught. Even if his fighters outnumber the jihadists, said Ismet Hesen, the YPG's resident defense chief, they lack the heavy weapons needed to stave off the attack. Did Turkey view this business positively? No it didn't,” President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said of the weapons drop at a press conference Thursday in the Latvian capital, Riga. Just as striking as the determined organisation and solidarity of Kurds from across Turkey, is the noticeable lack of support from the government and NGOs. Apart from a small government-run refugee camp in the village of Aligor, all the camps are run by the DBP party and Kurdish activists. No NGOs have come here out of fear of angering the government. Kurds, and a handful of other activists who have come to help, are left alone to deal with the crisis. The Sunni militants want to seize the dams to bolster their claim they are building an actual state; the dams are key to irrigating the country's vast wheat fields and providing Iraqis with electricity. More ominously, the Islamic State has used its control over water facilities - including as many as four dams along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers - to displace communities or deprive them of crucial water supplies.

How Kurdish Protests Flared Up & Spread Across Europe

Kunal Dutta is a news writer and reporter. He has written for The Economist, The Guardian, kobani,kobane,protest The Independent, The Independent on Sunday, Independent Voices and More Intelligent Life.kobani protests in turkey There were conflicting reports about how the 25-year-old protester was killed in the clashes in Mus, with the Hurriyet newspaper saying he died of a gunshot wound after being caught in crossfire. But NTV television said he was killed after being struck in the head by a tear gas cannister fired by police to disperse the protesters. In neighboring Syria , days of airstrikes have been unable to stop militants on the verge of capturing a strategic town on the Turkish border. Although a ceasefire was declared in March 2013, after decades of armed struggle the PKK is seen as a terrorist group in Turkey. Most papers are highly critical of the protests. Centre-right Hurriyet denounces them as a "threat to peace", warning they might endanger talks between the government and Kurdish rebels. In Iraq, Islamic State militants reportedly shot down an Iraqi military attack helicopter, killing the pilot and co-pilot. In the latest swing of Iraq's sectarian pendulum, resentment is again growing among the Shia majority - repressed under the Sunni dictator Saddam Hussein, aggressively dominant under elected premier Nuri al-Maliki, and now ruled by a government seemingly unable to stop the advance of Islamic State. Some European nations have joined the fight against ISIS, but the Kurdish protesters want tougher action. Turkey, which is a Nato member, has inherited more than 180,000 refugees who fled Kobani, but its reluctance to defend the town sparked clashes around the country. Police fired tear gas and water cannons to disperse protesters kobani,kobane,protest who burnt cars and tyres as they took to the streets mainly in Turkey's predominantly Kurdish eastern and southeastern provinces. Clashes also erupted in the biggest city Istanbul and in the capital Ankara. The battle to stop Isis capturing the Syrian town of Kobani continues as the Islamists attempt to consolidate their power on the doorstep of Europe. The town has become the focus of increasingly desperate efforts by Kurdish forces backed kobani,kobane,protest by US air strikes to stop the militants taking control. Control would also put Isis in striking distance of Turkey itself, where there is growing anger among Kurds at the Government's perceived inaction fighting the Islamists. Now we face the group that calls itself the Islamic State (Isis), the latest terrorists to confront us. And yet again we have met them with an emotional response based on the horror deliberately generated by their acts. We agree to bomb them and insist we will never speak to them because they are quite unlike any terrorist group we have ever met before. We're doing some maintenance right now. You can still read comments, but please come back later to add your own.
Army Major Curtis Kellogg said Baghdad had asked for helicopter support near Fallujah to push back militants west of the capital Baghdad. The low-flying helicopters give the US military greater capacity to identify individual targets and provide close air support to Iraqi troops in combat, suggesting close cooperation with forces on the ground. But they also expose US troops to far greater risk from ground fire. He said the Kurds were in contact with both the US-led coalition and Turkey in search of more assistance. We need help from the international community. Either we finish them (IS) or they will finish us,” he said. I do kobani,kobane,protest not think we will be able to return home soon. I'm afraid we will end up as refugees and I and my brothers will not be able to complete our studies. Life in Turkey is too difficult and we do not know what will happen. In a show of solidarity for the embattled Kurds, protesters in France, Britain and Germany today called on their governments to provide further assistance to the city's Kurdish fighters. Although the US has conducted air strikes on targets within the city, ISIS has tightened its grip on the town in recent days and thousands of Kurds face massacre should Turkey not open its border to allow the delivery of arms.

Death Toll From Kobani Protests İn Turkey Rises To 25

Protesters marched through the streets of several major European cities today in an orchestrated show of support for besieged Kurdish fighters currently battling Islamic State (ISIS) forces in Kobane. Beyond Turkey, a number of people were hurt when clashes broke out in the German city of Hamburg after hundreds of Kurdish demonstrators in Hamburg held a rally against IS militants. Some 400 Kurdish protesters fought with a similar number of radical Muslims, police told German media. Demonstrators, some carrying knives and knuckle-dusters, were eventually separated by police firing water cannon. Erdogan called for a no-fly zone, and for the arming of opposition groups in Iraq and Syria.
The main Kurdish armed group, the YPG, said in a statement the air strikes had inflicted heavy losses on ISIS, but had been less effective in the last two days. A Kurdish military official, speaking from Kobane, said street-to-street fighting was making it harder for the warplanes to target ISIS positions. The Kobane crisis has sparked deadly violence in Turkey, which has a Kurdish population numbering 15million. I could not stay in Kobani and wait for Isis to come and slaughter our men and kidnap our women. Also, we could not trust the capabilities of the Kurdish fighters in Kobani to stop Isis militants' progress kobani,kobane,protest towards the town. We and tens of Kobani families had to walk through a route full of mines near the borders to get into Turkey. A few people were killed and injured as they stepped on these mines at night. The Kurdish forces are now believed to face inevitable defeat in Kobane if Turkey does not open its border to let through arms - something Ankara has so far appeared reluctant to do. The U.S.-led coalition escalated kobani,kobane,protest air strikes on ISIS in and around Kobane, also known as Ayn al-Arab, some four days ago. They are unhappy at what they see as Turkish support for Islamic State (IS) militants attacking the border town of Kobane. Here comes America's war on Syria. Soon the British will be pushing this narrative. They take us for idiots. That they can lie to us that blatantly shows how much respect they have for us. A resident of Kobani who escaped to Turkey kobani,kobane,protest told the Guardian on Tuesday that Kurdish fighters there have the upper hand against Isis. Syrian President Bashar Assad has four secret chemical weapons facilities and used them as recently as August, according to a UN briefing. A Turkish Kurd, standing in the outskirts of Suruc, on the Turkey-Syria border, use binoculars to watch the fighting between militants of the Islamic State group and Kurdish forces in Kobani, Syria, Monday, Oct. 6, 2014. Turkey's reluctance to join the fight against Isis militants to defend the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobani has fuelled violent protests across the country resulting in at least nine deaths. The Turkish parliament last week authorised the government to take military action against Isis. But Turkey has not announced plans for any operations, with Ankara apparently seeking a commitment kobani,kobane,protest from the west to move decisively against the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, as well as the jihadis. Erdoğan said he wanted to fight both Isis and the Kurdistan Workers' party (PKK).kobani protests Five people were killed in Diyarbakir, the largest Kurdish city in the southeast, while a 25-year-old man died in Varto, a town in the eastern province of Mus. Turkey's Interior Minister Efkan Ala called for an end to the protests. Violence is not the solution. Violence triggers reprisals. This irrational attitude should come to an end immediately,” he said. In London protesters bearing placards and flags were marshalled by police as they marched on Parliament Square, Westminster. A 25-year-old man died in Varto, a town in the eastern province of Mus, and at least half a dozen people were wounded there in clashes between police and protesters, local media reported. Two people died in southeastern Siirt province, the governor was quoted as saying by CNN Turk Television, and another died in neighbouring Batman. Curfews were imposed in five predominantly Kurdish southeastern provinces after the protests, in which shops and banks were damaged.
