Peter Boyle, Socialist Alliance member and long-time solidarity activist with the Kurdish liberation struggle, joins Green Left Radio on 3CR to discuss the Syrian Transitional Government’s attacks on north eastern Syria’s Kurdish population and why Rojava demands our solidarity.

The Syrian government has reneged on every agreement and broken every ceasefire. Its militias — notorious for sadistic abuse — are posting videos of their atrocities. Prisons are being taken over and ISIS prisoners released in their thousands, while the US-led International Coalition to Defeat ISIS does nothing.

Syrian government fighters now threaten the core Kurdish areas, and the city of Kobanê — famous for turning the tide against ISIS — has been cut off.
