In Lebanon, representatives of the Rojava Kurdish soldiers and Syrian Arab militias announced an official alliance to fight the U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham = Syria]). The new alliance called Democratic Forces of Syria stated “The sensitive stage our country Syria is going through and rapid developments on the military and political front … require that there be a united national military force for all Syrians, joining Kurds, Arabs, Syriacs and others groups.”, however it might also be a requirement to gain true support from the United States.
Also out of Lebanon, Amnesty International is now accusing the Rojave Kurds of war crimes, basically genocide: “By deliberately demolishing civilian homes, in some cases razing and burning entire villages, displacing their inhabitants with no justifiable military grounds, the Autonomous Administration [Rojava] is abusing its authority and brazenly flouting international humanitarian law.”
