Might be the best overview of the current situation in Syria we've come across.

The Rojava Mobilization Committee announced the martyrdom of Ehmed Omar from Kirkuk, Southern Kurdistan.

What do you think of what is happening in Rojava right now? Can you tell me more about the time you were in YPG? How were you treated? Did you kill ISIS yourself?

What do I think? God, I don't know. I'm not surprised but I'm furious. It's practically the inevitable outcome, but it hurts more than I expected. In 2015, I watched ISIS fighters walking across the Turkish border into Syria, with Turk armoured cars watching the whole time. Of course they sided with the jihadists in power, of course they decided Kurds having a modicum of self-determination is simply unacceptable. If I was 20 again, I'd probably be back there in a heartbeat. Alas.

Anyway, I was treated well by the YPG, taken in as an equal even when I barely spoke the language. I am a majorly autistic weirdo, to the point my fellow western fighters took me aside at one point and were like "hey bro, do you have autism?" but the YPG fighters never treated me as any lesser. If anything, they tried to bring me under their wing just a little more.

I recall one time I was kicking around a soccer ball all alone, just killing time, and one of the fighters came over and offered me a little piece of jewellery. It was basically a set of Islamic prayer beads (misbaha) made of twisted copper wire. I still have it today, a little lucky fetish I keep with me.

As for the last point, I'll just say maybe. I shot my rifle at ISIS (mostly in the dark), but there were dozens of Kurds doing the same thing. Did my bullets take them out or did theirs? Does it matter? Why even ask?

Idk, I used to not mind the "did you kill" question because I'm comfortable with the facts of killing and dying in war. Nowadays it feels half a purity test, half a "are you a REAL soldier" thing. No clue if you meant it that way anon, but that's sort of how it is.

Hope this answers your questions.

FREE KURDISTAN!! HELP THE KURDS OF SYRIA AND IRAN AGAINST ANOTHER GENOCIDE AND ETHNIC CLEANSING! THE SYRIAN KURDISH CIVILIANS AND FIGHTERS ARE BEING KILLED! RAPED, MUTILATED! Our martyr's graves were destroyed, these people know nothing of ceasefires and negotiations, they want the Kurdish lead forces to integrate into the ISIS led Syrian Army where a fate worse than death awaist them!

The Syrian army has liberated MANY ISIS PRISONERS and is currently a threat to the safety and stability of the middle east as a whole!

The cities of Hasaka and Kobane are currently facing a blockade! Women and children are freezing to death or risk starvation! Internet and cell lines have been shut down and communication is getting more difficult with certain parts of rojava.

The yazidi refugees within Syria are in danger as they face another genocide from the Isis led Syrian army!

The SDF has officially been abandoned by the USA and the west, Turkey and Israel are on board too, the SDF is the last standing force against the ISIS led new Syrian government! These Kurdish led forces have been of major help during the war against ISIS and they currently represent the hope for a democratic Syria where all ethnical minorities are kept safe, respected, where human rights aren't violated and it is the only safe space for the Kurds in Syria, a zone they've cleared out with their own blood and taken back from ISIS! If any of you have a shred of a conscience you'd advocate for them as well!

Not much information is known currently about the state of the Kurdish territories in Iran but it is not looking good, as they've always been oppressed by the regime and as the death tolls keep rising, a genocide may have already taken place against younger Iranian Kurds!

Please have your eyes on Syria and Iran! We need your support now more than ever!

Bzhi KURDISTAN ♥️🤍💛🤍💚
