In this episode, we discuss the Kurdish administration in N. E Syria. We review U.S. President Biden's administration policy on Kurds alongside the impact of Turkey's continued shelling and drone attacks on Kurdish civilians. It has also been weaponizing water supplies in northeast Syria, worsening an already bad drought that contributes to Syria's humanitarian disaster. We also discuss the Rojava women’s revolution, Russian stance and influence in the region, and the end result of the trilateral agreement between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the U.S., and Turkey on a "security zone" under the Trump adminsitration. Why does the Turkish state target civilians and how do people live under the constant attacks of the Turkish state?
Our guest this week is Salih Muslim, board member and Spokesman of the Democractic Union Party (PYD).
