Again, Syrian regime has imposed an embargo on the Kurdish-held Shahba region near Afrin city. This has left this child with no choice but to sit down near a generator to operate the oxygen device he needs as the region’s only hospital suffers from lack of power. 🎥 local media

Kurdish forces say US will increase its security presence in northeast Syria (Rojava) in the coming days due to an increase in ISIS threats against the SDF and Americans in the region. US has nearly 1,000 soldiers in Rojava, according to SDF figure sent to me. 📸: SDF/file

This is the first time I see SDF General Commander Mazloum Abdi posing for photos with students. He rarely attends such public events due to constant surveillance by Turkish drones. #Rojava #Kurdistan

This is the newest Turkish military base in the Kurdistan Region. It is located ONLY four kilometers away from Amedi downtown!

I don’t know why some schools in Kurdistan teach Turkish lessons to young students. It makes sense to teach English and Arabic because the former is an international language and the latter is the first language of Iraq. Kurdish language is banned in official places in Turkey.
