The Kurds battling for Kobane (Kobani) continue to request resupply and additional weapons from the U.S. and Turkey. However, neither President Obama nor President Erdogan have done anything to provide reinforcements for the Kurdish fighters.
Despite their isolation, and with assistance from airstrikes in the surrounding terrain, Kurdish fighters have been able to recapture strategic locations from ISIS control.

SYRIA – Kurdish fighters have launched an unlikely comeback against Islamic State terrorists besieging the Syrian town of Kobane, amid claims the resistance forces have now reclaimed swathes of the city.
Images this morning showed Kurdish YPG soldiers triumphantly raising their flag above Tel Shair hill in the west of the city, where ISIS’ own black jihadist flag had recently been flying.
Assisted by sustained U.S. and Arab airstrikes, the massively outgunned Kurdish troops have managed to do what looking impossible only a week ago – force ISIS to abandon strategic locations in the west of Kobane and pin them back elsewhere in the city.

The news comes as the Kurdish forces aim to solidify their gains by rounding up hundreds of young men in the area around Kobane in order to press them into compulsory military service.
Meanwhile the U.S. has intensified airstrikes against ISIS targets in and around the city, carrying out 21 bombing raids over the last two days on vehicles and buildings in the terror group’s hands.
The U.S airstrikes have helped Kurdish fighters slow ISIS’ advances, and in many areas of Kobane force the terrorists to abandon suburbs where they were free to rape and massacre battle ravaged locals as recently the weekend.

Yesterday the sinister black flag of Islamic State seemingly disappeared from a flagpole on Gania Kurda hill in ISIS held territory in eastern Kobane. Meanwhile Kurdish fighters in the west of the city captured the strategic Tel Shair hill, which is where theoir flag was displayed today.

News of the advances comes as police in Syria’s self-ruled Kurdish areas rounded up hundreds of young men to press them into compulsory military service against the Islamic State.
The unprecedented move, criticized by human rights groups, underlines the desperation of Syria’s Kurds as they fight off the extremist group close to the Turkish border. (read more)
