"The existence of #Rojava as a semi-autonomous space, with global symbolic resonance – for women’s liberation, unprecedented in the region, and for the democratic self-rule of an oppressed people – depended on unique circumstances. The #SDF – which at its height controlled over a quarter of the country, including its major oil fields – was a creation of the #SyrianCivilWar..."

"The #KurdishQuestion raises many other issues about the country’s future, including the potential for a pluralist identity not solely based on Arabness or Islam, as well as the nature of the state and its social model." - #JosephDaher

The Kurdish struggle is central to Syria's future
Joseph Daher argues that progressives must build a pluralistic Syria that recognises the freedoms of Kurds.
The New Arab" '#Turkey is a major threat to #Kurds and to democratic experiments that Kurds have been implementing in the region starting in 2014,' says Ozlem Goner, steering committee member of the Emergency Committee for #Rojava, who details the persecution of Kurds, the targeting of journalists, and which powerful countries are looking to control the region.”

Tras la caída del régimen de Assad, el pueblo kurdo de Siria se encuentra bajo amenaza en Siria por los ataques de Turquía, que ya han provocado la muerte de varios periodistas
Tras el derrocamiento del régimen de Assad, son varias las potencias extranjeras que pretenden definir la configuración del escenario político en Siria y, en este contexto, la población kurda del país está en el centro de atención. El presidente turco, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, continúa amenazando a la milicia kurda siria YPG, a la cual considera como una extensión de las milicias del Partido de los Trabajadores de Kurdistán (PKK), que vienen luchando y rebelándose contra el Estado turco desde hace 40 años. Recientemente, el ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Turquía viajó a Damasco para reunirse con el nuevo gobernante de facto de Siria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, jefe del grupo islamista HTS. “Turquía es una gran amenaza para el pueblo kurdo y para las experiencias democráticas que el movimiento kurdo viene implementando en la región desde 2014”, explica Ozlem Goner, miembro de la mesa directiva del Comité de Emergencia para Rojava, quien da cuenta de la persecución que está sufriendo la población kurda, así como la persecución contra periodistas, y explica qué países poderosos buscan controlar la región. “Turquía, Israel y Estados Unidos están tratando conjuntamente de apoderarse de esta tierra y el pueblo kurdo está bajo amenaza”.
