Another week of Syrian Civil War means more new combatants entering the increasingly regional conflict.
The question of Kurdish neutrality seems to be settled, at least so far as the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), the Turkish-based Kurdish secessionist movement is concerned, with the group accusing the rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) of attacking Kurdish neighborhoods in Aleppo and retaliating against FSA bases. The fighting between the two has killed 36 in recent days, and 14 Kurds have been kidnapped by the FSA in the process.
Several Kurdish factions have set themselves up since the war broke out, and what happens with one is not necessarily an indication of where others will fall in the war. The PKK’s shift is perhaps the most predictable, as the FSA is openly backed by the Turkish government. Some of the Kurdish groups are being trained in Iraqi Kurdistan.
And they aren’t the only Iraqis getting involved in the war. Sunni Islamist factions have been flocking to Syria for months, at the behest of al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) to fight against the Assad regime. Now, Iraqi Shi’ites are also heading to Damascus, usually by way of Iran or Lebanon first and joining Shi’ite militias seeking to fight on behalf of the regime.
It's obvious divide and conquer, brothers fighting
Brothers and the west watching and laughing, well
Done brothers, you're doing exactly what west and
The Zionists planed for you, keep the good work,
Stupid and ignorant people and arrogant authority.
It looks like a religious war Sunni against the ruling party in Syria which is of the allawi /Shiite sect.
this was apparent from the start and had nothing to do with democracy. Now Al-Qa'ida is with the Sunni against the Syrian regime therefore the US and the UK having the same goal as Zahrawi, the leader of Al-Qa'ida. This is politics for you
UK RESIDENT.
Looks the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s.
