Muslim extremists in the Middle East have been long time enemies with the people of Kurdistan. ISIS has shifted their focus onto the Kurds, but it appears their efforts aren’t exactly going as planned.
According to a recent RT report, ISIS militants have been forced out of “Kobani, the Kurdish town that straddles the Syrian-Turkish border, after weeks of heavy fighting.” Needless to say, the ISIS crybabies are running for the hills from which they came with their tails tucked.
The news came about as a Kurdish Commander announced to the public that ISIS militants made the retreat last night as they drew back about 2 km from the battlefront. A journalist for RT, Murad Gazdiev, reported, “We can still hear sporadic gunfire and explosions coming from Kobani.”
Although the feat was great by any measure, no one is really celebrating at this point as the entirety of the city has yet to be secured. At this point, military personnel have begun a sweep of the city in search for the many suicide bombers left within its borders in order to enact chaos at a later time.
It is actions such as this that are necessary to nip this ISIS advance in the bud while there’s still a chance of avoiding an all out war. America must act in collaboration with its allies to squash the efforts of ISIS and bring about a fuller, more extensive and wholesome retreat.
Unfortunately for those being slaughtered daily by ISIS militants, this doesn’t seem the direction in which the world’s officials – including President Obama – are willing to go on account of political liability. Let us know your thoughts on the small, yet astounding, victory that Kurdistan recently experienced despite being ignored by those that are supposed to be its ally in the comments below.
