Kurds Defending Autonomous
´Rojava´ Enclave in Syria

The situation in Syria may appear after two and a half years to have turned into a static and bewildering slaughter. Neither victory nor defeat seem imminent for any of the sides.

But this picture is not entirely accurate. On one front, at least, there is movement in a clear direction. The Kurds of north eastern Syria are consolidating their autonomous enclave bordering Iraq. The Kurds call this area ´Rojava´, or western Kurdistan. They have in the last two weeks inflicted a series of telling defeats on Al-Qaeda linked rebels on its borders .

The absence of clarity in the direction of the war in Syria derives partly from the fact that there is no longer a single conflict in the country. Rather, the Syrian civil war has in the last year turned from a straight fight between a regime and a rebellion against it into three inter-locking wars involving a variety of participating elements.

The regime and its allies are still engaged against a mainly Sunni rebellion. An internecine civil war has also broken out in the rebellion itself, pitting the al-Qaeda linked Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and its hardcore Islamist allies against more locally focused rebel groups.

The third contest is taking place between ISIS and its allies and the Kurdish fighters of the YPG (Peoples´ Protection Units) in the north and east of the country.

The first two wars remain at bloody stalemate. The Kurds, whose goal is survival rather than conquest, are winning the third.

The current Kurdish ´surge´ began on October 26th with the capture by the YPG of the Yarubiya border crossing in Hasakeh province, between Syria and Iraq. The crossing, known by the Kurds as Tal Kojar, had been held by ISIS since March. The YPG captured it after three days of fighting.

Suriyeye (Al Nusra´ya) giden kaçak silahlar hiç yakalanmıyordu. Şimdi birileri Al-Kaide tarafında olmadığımızı dünyaya göstermenin akıllı olacağını anladı. Kaçak silahlar maşallah kamyon kamyon yakalanıyor.
