Kurdish fighters in Syria face dual threats
Kurdish forces in northern Syria face pressure from Turkish-backed groups and the new Damascus government, jeopardizing their autonomy. A recent Turkish-backed offensive seized key Kurdish areas, while a US-brokered truce remains fragile. The Kurds, crucial in the fight against ISIS, seek a demilitarized zone in Kobane. Turkey demands Kurdish disarmament, but the new Syrian government may intervene.
