Kurds Feel ‘Deserted and Furious’ at U.S.
And this is all YOU, Mr. Obama.
All they wanted was material.
THINGS.
STUFF.
Armed with light weapons and shooting from inside homes and behind mud walls in territory around the city, Kurdish forces have slowed the militants, whose rapid advance through villages in northern Syria with tanks and heavy artillery had sent thousands of Kurds fleeing into Turkey.Islamic State is “still shelling Kobani with mortars as people there are struggling to defend themselves,” Ibrahim Ayhan, a pro-Kurdish lawmaker in the Turkish parliament, said by phone from the country’s border town of Suruc today. Airstrikes last night by U.S.-led coalition warplanes didn’t “change the tide of the war,” he said.
While Turkey’s government has vowed to prevent an Islamic State takeover of Kobani, Kurds aren’t convinced, accusing authorities in Ankara of using the crisis to suppress a largely autonomous Kurdish region that has evolved during Syria’s three-year civil war.The Kurds fighting Islamic State in Syria are linked to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, whose separatist ambition has long been considered Turkey’s top security threat.“The people of Kobani feel deserted and furious,” Faysal Sariyildiz, another pro-Kurdish legislator, said yesterday.

A real-time feed from the area near Kobani is allowing activists from around the world to watch the developments unfold, and often stoking frustrations.“It gets ridiculous when you have a live stream, and you can see the ISIS tanks,” said Mark Campbell, 52, who is based in198,426London198,426and has been campaigning for Kurdish rights for two decades. ISIS is another name for Islamic State. Coalition forces “could literally wipe out the tanks in five minutes,” Campbell, who is using social media to raise awareness, said in a video phone interview.
What is our purpose? What result do we wish?
