Roj Bash Kurdistan

NICOSIA — Al Qaida’s powerful militia has been defeated in northern
Syria.

Opposition sources said Kurdish forces overpowered the Islamic State of
Iraq and Levant near the Syrian border with Turkey.

The sources said ISIL lost a key position in three days of fierce battles around Yarubia.

“They took control of the Yarubia border crossing with Iraq at dawn after clashes with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, Al Nusra Front and other rebels,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

The British-based opposition group said Kurdish fighters killed Al Qaida operatives in mortar strikes near the Turkish border on Oct. 26. Yarubia was

deemed a leading waystation for the flow of Al Qaida fighters and weapons from Turkey to Syria.
ISIL has become the most powerful rebel group in central and northern
Syria. The sources said ISIL controlled many of the points along the
900-kilometer Syrian-Turkish border.

The regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad has been pressing Nusra
units. On Oct. 26, state television said Nusra commander Abu Mohammed Al
Jolani was killed, a claim denied by the militia.

Well done chaps, be sure to push the advantage now

Al Qaeda fighters are no match, Kurds are more culturally (and genetically) inclined to be organized and ere experts at warfare. This has been proven that time and time again, and now the Rojava Kurds are doing it for us again. These gains need to be fully consolidated before the Geneva talks, and it was a good thing that Salih Muslim was able to make out in time. It is becoming clear now that the episode was planned, with the KDP preventing Salih from entering the region, and then Salih performed a Baghdad magic show with the help of the PUK. From the looks of it, it is safe to say that the Kurds are the ones with the advantage and are controlling all the sides. These are truly historical and amazing times we live in, and it feels good to be a Kurd.

The reason why Al-Qaeda were largely unsuccessful at establishing a front in Kurdistan, is because they lack support amongst the local population, a defining principal in assymetrical warfare. Unlike in other parts of Iraq and Syria where the anti-Shiah opposition houses and protects Sunni Islamist insurgencies as well as less local elements, like Al-Qaeda in Iraq or as they're called today, the Islamic state of Iraq and the Levant. Most of the Islamist groups in the area were composed mainly of indigenous Kurds who had connections with other Islamist groups. This is why they lost in Western kurdistan.

True, one of the main advantages of the Rojava Kurds is the local support. The ISIL and Al Nusra, else much more oreffessional than many of the other rebels, nut they still are not as preoudeasional as the Kurds, which is refkecyed I the kill ratios and the clip.
