Syrian Kurdish mother killed at Turkish border - Al-Monitor: the Pulse of the Middle East
Anything from militants, guns and booty can cross the border, but a woman from Rojava with her two children can’t...
On the night of May 18, Saadet Dervis, 30, along with her two children
and her father, attempted to cross the border from northern
Syria's Rojava region, which is controlled by the Kurds, into Turkey.
Her husband had gone to Turkey a few months prior. Dervis, also known as
Saada Darwich, was fleeing an area under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).
