Natasha Walter on Rojava:

"This autonomous region is being throttled, as the Syrian government, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, is trying to bring the whole country under its control. The Kurds in north-east Syria are right to fear what that control would look like: massacres of other minorities, including Alawites and Druze, have taken place recently elsewhere in the country. Al-Sharaa, with his background in al-Qaida and desire for a centralised national government, represents the polar opposite of the secular, decentralised ideals of the autonomous administration."
