Iraqi Peshmerga Wont Send Troops To Syria, 300 Kurds Kidnapped By Jihadists

Iraq’s northern Kurdistan region (southern Kurdistan) has no plans to send troops into western (Syrian) Kurdistan to defend fellow Kurds, a senior Iraqi Kurdish official said, despite safety concerns which have driven thousands to cross the border.

Iraqi Kurdistan president Massoud Barzani said earlier this month his well-armed Kurdish Peshmerga forces ready to defend Kurds living in western Kurdistan (northeastern Syria) if they were being threatened by rebel militants who have captured swathes of land in the north.

But his chief of staff said it did not mean that Iraqi Kurdistan was considering sending troops across the border, a move which would drag the region deeper into a conflict that has increasingly split it down ethnic and sectarian lines.

After that statement was made, news of this came in…

Clashes broke out between fighters of the Kurdish Front Jabhat al-Akrad and al-Qaeda linked Islamic-Jihadist groups, ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Sham) and al-Nusra Front, which attacked the Kurdish neighborhoods in the Rakka city Wednesday afternoon, Firat news agency reported.

Ten members of the Islamic-Jihadist groups were killed and two fighters of the Kurdish front lost their life in clashes. The armed groups kidnapped 300 civilians in the Kurdish neighborhoods they targeted.

Bad news all around forthe Western Kurds but Barzani’s chief of staff is right, they do have thier own people and they have lots of them. Up to this point, they have done very well on their own and i know PJAK from Iran has sent troops and the PKK may do the same so there is help and plenty of leadership and well trained fighting kurds there in Syria to defend their people. I just hope those kidnapped are alright. -Mort
