Fighters from the Islamic State previously known as ISIS or ISIL(Islamic State in Iraq and greater Shaam)
backed by tanks,mortars and heavy weaponry severely advanced more in syria by capturing almost 60
Kurdish villages of Syrian kurdistan as the western allied forces assembled to fight them.
Syria has been under worst circumstances from the last 3 years since the uprising
Started in March 2011.It all started with nation wide protests against the outstood president Bashar al
Assad, which in return sparked a violence transforming it into a civil war.Over 2 lakh people have been
killed in this ongoing conflict in a span of 3 years.
The recent gains in kurdish areas highlighted the plight of Syrian Kurds who are
against the rule of Islamic state and are defiantly fighting against them.But the Iraqi Kurds fight on
their own interests.They not only fight against the Islamic state but also with Iraqi armed forces and
other Jihadist groups also.
The forces of Syrian Kurdistan known as YPK or People’s Protection Units are
the supporters of Syrian regime and are linked to Syrian president Bashar al Assad.The United states
and its allies think that the Kurds are fighting alongside Syrian government against the Syrian rebels and
Islamic State.Though China ,North korea, Iran and Russia are also indirectly supporting Syrian regime
and are aiding them wth modern weapons,barrel bombs and warplanes.
The Spokesman of Syria’s Kurdish democratic union party or PYD, which supports Assad
government said, “We are ready to join any coalition to face Daesh “, means that the Syrian Kurdish
forces are ready to join the western allied forces to fight against the Islamic state extremists.
The Islamic State fighters are severely advancing more in Syria(Levant) and
Iraq since the June 2014 Northern Iraq Offensive battle.They took over 60 villages in the Kurdish area
of Syria within 3-4 days with having its headquarters in Ar- Raqqah governate of Syria.Also the number
of fighters in Islamic state or ISIS is increasing rapidly. The international communities say that the
IS consists of over 1 lakh fighters, with most of them fighting in Syria.U.S has been conducting airstrikes
against the Islamic state in Iraq since last month when the fighters tried to push towards the northern
city of Irbil in Iraqi Kurdistan but are not able to much harm them.Moreover U.S government’s
new plan is to specially train 500 Syrian rebels(only Free Syrian Army) with modern weapons and
armory for fighting the Islamic state Jihadists.
