      #Syria: The Arab tribes around Raqqa worry that "the Kurds'" (#PKK) governance structure is going to exclude them, so the PKK have started sessions in Arabic to get across the doctrine of their war criminal leader, Abdullah Ocalan. Problem solved. https://wapo.st/2zXtxTM pic.twitter.com/KmZ87emCSg

      At this late stage, the formulaic description remains that the #YPG is "affiliated" to the #PKK, rather than being one of its totally integrated components, and the PKK's Arab-majority shell structures like the Minbij Military Council are "Kurdish-affiliated".

      Using "the Kurds" interchangeably with "PKK" erases the PKK's victims. There are 200,000 Syrian Kurds in Turkey who fled the YPG/PKK regime. Note: the PKK areas were never exposed to regime bombardment, as rebel areas were. This is near-solely the result of political repression.

          The @WashingtonPost adds to other evidence that #Raqqa is nearing a boiling point: there's been virtually no rebuilding; the streets aren't safe; #IS and probably the #PKK itself are assassinating opponents; and a form of nostalgia for the "order" IS provided is taking hold.

          Goodness Kyle you make it sound like some 220,000 Syrian Kurds from Kobani and surrounding countryside fled across the border to safety in Turkey not because of the advance of ISIS (whatever did ISIS do to Raqqa’s 30,000 Kurds...?) but due to PYD repression.

          You idiot they fled from isis which turkey was supporting at that time. On the other hand there are 200,000 Syrian Kurds fled from racist turkey who pay you. This count is just from Afrin.

          Oh dear, this is genuinely sad. Are we seriously contesting the idea that ISIS committing literal genocide against them might have had some influence on people's inclination to seek refuge?
