Kobani, Company, Ain Arab in north Syria… What’s the big picture?
Kobani is a large town in north Syria, a few miles from Turkey, and predominantly Kurdish.
Not just Syrian Kurds, but Kurds who support the Turkish Kurdish revolutionary Party PKK of Abdullah Ojalan (or Abbo Ocalan) who is in prison. (Read the link in the note)
Daesh is now encircling Kobani from three fronts and occupy 50% of the town.
And you wonder: “Why Daesh or ISIS has to venture so near Turkey and get into a tight trap when Turkey decides to wipe them out of town later on?”
Daesh has no major interest in getting far away from its bases, unless it was pressured and even threatened by Turkey to attack Ain Arab.
The US has today dropped 25 bombs and missiles on Daesh troops around Kobani.
Turkey refuses to get engaged, even though it had amassed tanks on the border
Turkey refuses to save Kobani from certain genocide, even though daily marches and demonstrations in Turkey are demanding serious actions in favor of the Kurds in Kobani.
Over 50 demonstrators were killed by live bullets but Erdogan despises demonstrators not agreeing with his views.
What is the strategy of Erdogan’s Turkey?
Turkey does not want any Kurds in Syria out of its direct control, and prefers all Syrian Kurds to vacate Syria and be relocated in areas under its control. Even if they flee to Turkey.
The strategy is to send a strong message on the ground that Turkey refuses any program to give the Kurds any independent State.
The clearing of the Kurds in the northern Syrian stretch region is a way to deny any kinds of links among the Kurds in Iraq, Turkey and Syria and allow Daesh State to be a buffer zone.
The “peace negotiation” between Ocalan, the PKK and the Turkish government has been going on for 2 years now. Already the PKK has sent its fighting resistance troops to Iraq, but the Turkish government has been unable to satisfy its part in the terms of the deal.
Most probably, Turkey is getting ready for another civil war and a genocide against the Kurds, as it perpetrated the genocide against the Armenians in 1915.
Mind you that Turkey relied on the Kurds as its executive hand to round up the Armenians and dispatch them on this death trail toward Deir el Zour in 1916.
Kobani didn’t exist in 1912.
The German company who had the monopoly to install the railroad linking Istanbul to Damascus, Bagdad and Mecca, decided for this location as a major in-between warehouse and routing facility. People around called this location Company, and later transformed into Kobani.
If Kobani is allowed to fall, mayhem will devastate Turkey and the PKK fighters will return from Iraq to resume the fight.

Note 2: The young girls in Kobani are participating in active resistance. 6 of them were trapped in an ambush. 5 died in the fight, the remaining fighter shot herself in order not to be taken prisoner
