uman 'river' of Kurds flees Syria
August 19, 2013 - 11:34AM
London: A human "river" of tens of thousands of Syrian Kurds has begun flowing into neighbouring Iraq to escape jihadist violence, United Nations officials have warned.

The UN's refugee agency said that about 17,000 Syrian Kurds had come across the border since Thursday, in what it described as a "major exodus" that was stretching the ability of Iraqi refugee camps to cope.
The Kurds, a minority group who make up about 10 per cent of Syria's population, have largely stayed out of the ongoing conflict, with government forces opting to withdraw entirely from Kurdish-dominated north-eastern Syria rather than fighting yet another front in the civil war.
Clashes have escalated in recent months between Kurdish militias and anti-government jihadist groups, for whom the Kurdish areas offer a conduit to fellow militants in Iraq. Earlier this month, Massoud Barzani, the president of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish area, which shares a border with north-east Syria, threatened to intervene if Kurds came under further attack.
Mr Barzani, whose own well-armed forces fought for independence against Saddam Hussein, said that if Kurds were "under threat of death and terrorism" then Iraqi Kurdistan would be "prepared to defend them".
An estimated 154,000 Syrian refugees are already registered in Iraq. The latest influx appears to have been caused by the building of a new pontoon bridge over the Tigris.
"UN refugee agency staff at Sahela report what appears like a river of people coming towards the border," said Claire Bourgeois, the UNHCR's Iraq representative, referring to a border crossing in north Iraq.

"We are witnessing a major exodus from Syria over the past few days unlike anything we have witnessed entering Iraq previously."
The UN said it was working with the government in Iraqi Kurdistan to establish a camp to accommodate the new rivals, one of the biggest single waves of refugees since the Syrian conflict started.
It came as UN chemical weapons inspectors arrived in Damascus yesterday on a long-delayed mission to investigate allegations of chemical weapons use.
Led by a Swedish arms expert, Aake Sellstroem, the team is expected to investigate a site at Khan al-Assal, near the contested northern city of Aleppo. The Syrian government says rebels used chemical weapons there in March, killing at least 26 people, while rebel commanders claim it was the work of regime forces. Khan al-Assal has since fallen into rebel control, and while the Syrian opposition has promised to allow the UN team access to the area, there are doubts about how free the team will be to go about its work. Damascus originally said it would allow the UN probe in last March but insisted it focused solely on Khan al-Assal.
Meanwhile, the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, vowed to continue fighting yesterday, saying that he was "determined to confront terrorism and eradicate it". Recent months have seen the tide of conflict turn in Dr Assad's favour, with the growing involvement of jihadist groups on the rebel side allowing him to portray himself as a champion against extremism.

Det är väl inte så konstigt att civila kurder flyr till irakiska Kurdistan när terroristerna mördar, kidnappar, torterar och våldtar civila människor. Jabhat al-Nusra/ISIS har begått stora krigsförbrytelser. Detta är något som kommer att slå hårt mot terroristerna efter kriget.

Ja visst det är endast dom "civila" kurder som flyr.
Sedan är det YPG/PKK eller vilken beteckning dom nu använder för dagen, det är dom som terroriserar, mördar, kidnappar, torterar och våldtar oskyldiga civila. YPG/PKK har begått stora krigsförbrytelser när dom nu byter sida och hjälper Assad och Hizbullah att förtrycka det Syriska folket. Detta är något som kommer att slå hårt mot terroristerna (YPG/PKK) efter kriget.
al Nusra och dess allierade kommer inte att glömma vilka som stödde Assad och Hizbullah när regimen har fallit. Då kommer räkenskaperna att avslutas.

Haha du kan inte mena allvar. Precis som jag skrev i ett tidigare inlägg har Jabhat al-Nusra förlorat minst 800 män i strider med kurderna den senaste månaden. Jag skulle gissa på att YPG och PKK har förlorat omkring 50 män den senaste månaden, om inte mindre. Jabhat al-Nusra/ISIS har ingen chans mot kurderna och det vet dem mycket väl om, det är därför dem har börjat attackera civila den senaste tiden för att förstöra och störa YPG och PKK så mycket som möjligt. Snart så är terroristernas tid i Syrien ute.
Haha, al Nusra grabbarna har förlorat 800 krigare och YPG/PKK endast 50.
al Nusra har ju totalt sopat golvet med er terrorister och diktaturkramare dom senaste veckan. Det är överallt på nyheterna, behöver inte ens ge några källor. Kurderna förlorar som vanligt och använder terroristmetoder när dom börjar förlora. Vet du vad al Nusra är? Bara tjetjenerna bland dom skulle spöa skiten ur YPG/PKK.
YPG = PKK. PKK är erkänd terrororganisation -->>> YPG är en terrororganisation.
Vi får hoppas att clownen Barzani inte gör verklighet av sina hot och inte kränker Syriens suveränitet för då...
