Women’s Alliance for Kurdistan, Iraq and Syria - The Kurdistan Tribune
We are deeply concerned that a massacre is about to take place in
the Kobanê canton of Rojava, the autonomous Kurdish region of Syria.
Here, the Kurdish forces, the YPJ and YPG (the women’s and men’s units
of the Peoples Defence Force) have been resisting attacks from brutal
ISIS gangs and al-Qaeda affiliated groups, despite being deliberately
ignored by the West for their links to the Kurdistan Workers Party
(PKK). It is time to recognise them and Rojava, a democratic,
multi-ethnic and gender-just administration of two million people whose
refugee camps are hosting millions of Syrian and Iraqi refugees of all
ethnicities.
