Kurdish Civil War

Risay117 · October 08, 2014, 12:14:27 AM

So was on the syriancivilwar subreddit and noticed a bunch of verified posts about riots and clashes in the kurdish region of Turkey. So first o thought it was disatisfaction of Turkeys response.

But i found out i was wrong and these clashes are in direct consequences of two factions forming among the Kurds, the islamist and the secularist. The secularist we have heard about YPG, PKK, KDP etc. But the islamist are a new rising faction who have recently pledged allegiance to ISIS. With up to 400 on the Kobane front fighting against YPG.

So what do you guys think this bodes for the ISIS war, it seems that Assad has some space to breathe and to clean up Ghouta and Aleppo, ending two fronts. He will likely move to Idlib later. But with the training of the NDF he has been able to relieve his troops for the main fronts and made progressions. While the Rebels although recently made a gew captures, are losing on many fronts. Soon the front will reach the FSA it seems if things go as seen and the IF and Nusra are pushed to their core zones.

After Idlib i feel ISIS is next. So what do you see happening?

So, basically the fighting is spreading into southern Turkey now and an ISIS-affiliated group is leading it?

Well, that's... something. How many people do they all have left to keep killing each other with over there anymore?

Yeah, I recently heard that Turkey actually had the balls to tell the US to step up the airstrikes while doing absolutely nothing useful of their own.

Ehh, they are fighting a proxy war. They cannot allow the SAA fight any easier.
