IN MARCH 2017, I made my way through the streets of the northern Syrian city of Kobani, just over two years since it had been liberated from the Islamic State by fighters of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) and Women’s Protection Units (YPJ).
Although some of the city had slowly seen reconstruction taking place, other areas made it appear that the war was still being fought.
Burnt-out cars used as vehicles for suicide bombings. The stench of yesterday’s corpses buried under rubble not yet removed. Graffiti marking the sight of legendary battles and martyrs lost in combat, adorning walls riddled with bullet holes.

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The arrest of a number of teachers last week who were privately teaching the official curriculum of the Syrian government highlights the complex situation in northeastern Syria where Damascus and the local self-ruled administration compete over what is taught to the youth who live there.
On Jan. 19, Kurdish-led Internal Security Forces (ISF), also known as Asayesh, arrested seven teachers for secretly teaching the Syrian regime curriculum in the Kurdish border town of Darbasiya. On the following day, students and their relatives protested the detentions.

The headquarters of the opposition Kurdish National Council (ENKS) in Kobane was attacked in the early hours of Tuesday, causing severe damage to the building and creating a state of terror in the neighborhood.
The council issued a statement accusing the Revolutionary Youth movement, affiliated with the Movement for a Democratic Society, of attacking the offices of the council in Ain al-Arab.
Head of the local council of ENKS Barkal Ahmed asserted that unknown gunmen threw two bombs at the building, then fired a round of bullets from machine guns. He noted that the attack damaged the building and shattered its windows.

Sama Bakdash, the Democratic Union Party(PYD) spokesperson, said that intra-Kurdish talks will be resumed in February.
The North Press Agency, a media outlet close to the Kurdish-led Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (NES), on 16 January, quoted Bakdash as saying that the U.S. administration is attempting to get the Kurds engaged in the Syrian political process.
Bakdash indicated that the U.S. Deputy Special Envoy to Syria, David Brownstein, “confirmed his country’s determination to ensure the success of the Kurdish-Kurdish dialogue in Syria.”
