War and revolution in Syrian Kurdistan. Analyses and voices from Rojava
(Mandelbaum Verlag, October 2014)
In northern Syria, Kurdish fighters are fighting as the last bastion against the jihadist threat posed by the self-proclaimed \u201eIslamic State\u201c. After decades of oppression by the Baath regime, the Syrian Kurds managed to take over the majority of their settlement areas in the slipstream of the uprising against the regime in 2012. However, as the uprising developed into a civil war and the influence of jihadist groups grew, the security situation in Rojava (\u201eWestern Kurdistan\u201c), as Syrian Kurdistan is called by the Kurds themselves, became increasingly precarious and the defence of their towns and villages a struggle for survival.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
