Angående det här om att det förekommit "tvångsrekrytering". Det är anti-PYD media kopplad till KNC som skriver detta. PYD har infört en ny "lag om värnplikt". Notera att ordvalet säger vilket förhållande personen ifråga har med PYD.
Citat:
ERBIL – The Kurdish autonomous administrations in Syria have adopted a new law that obliges citizens between 18 and 30 to enlist in the defence service, and join the People’s Defence Service (YPG) for six months, in response to heavy attacks by Islamist militants.
The law also states that the soldier can choose to either serve the six months with no interruptions or to break the time up into different phases. Women can voluntary serve in the Kurdish army.
De vill egentligen inte, men omständigheterna tvingar dem till att göra något. Varenda by i hela Kobane kantonen togs över under kort tid av IS. Vad fan hade ni gjort om ni hade högsta position samt ett ansvar att skydda folket? Folk sitter här uppe i en skön fotölj och delar med sig av sina värderingar.
Citat:
In the past there have been discussions among Democratic Union Party (PYD) officials about implementing a military service in order to defend Kurdish areas against jihadi militants. But they feared a public backlash from civilians that have had to deal with worsening living conditions, as well as a lack of jobs, electricity and education possibilities.
(...)
But after heavy attacks on the city of Ayn al-Arab, known as Kobani in Kurdish, the administrations decided to move forward with adopting a new law.
Alla tänker på den här snubben när man hör orden tvångsrekrytering, men han behöver inte oroa sig för lagen har inte implementerats. Jag är dock tämligen säker på att denna person är KNC anhängare.
Citat:
“I will never join any force that exists now, not YPG, not FSA (Free Syrian Army), not Daash (IS, or Islamic State), not Assad, nor Jahbat al-Nusra. I will not [join] YPG because they do not let you fight freely, you have to fight under the name of YPG or Abdullah Öcalan,” said Alan Qamishlo (26), who lives in the city of Qamishli, and works in a bakery.
But so far, he hasn’t had any national call to serve in the YPG forces. A YPG source confirmed that the new law has yet to be implemented.
Det här tjafset om "tvångsrekrytering" kommer ifrån KNC. PYD är makthavarna och KNC är oppositionen som varken har politiker eller soldater i Rojava. De har dock kommit överens om en maktdelning och snart får även de vara med och ta de hårda besluten som måste tas. Här är en annan aspekt av denna KNC kritik. Oavsett vad PYD gör eller inte gör så kommer KNC kritisera dem och eftersom de inte ens befinner sig i Rojava och själva inte behöver göra något så finns det inga gränser för kritiken.
Citat:
Rodi Hesen, a Syrian-Kurdish journalist employed by the weekly Wishe newspaper based in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, told Middle East Eye that the law is a positive and necessary step because of the increased threats by the IS militants.
“It is not fair that only one part of the society shoulders the responsibility of protection and defence,” he said.
But he added, the fact the law is issued by the self-administration dominated by PYD would result in criticism of the KNC. “It will be an argument for the KNC to just criticise the PYD and not do any work.”
(...)
But PYD official Sheruan Hassan thinks the criticism would not have any effect.
“The KNC can’t do anything. Many of their members have joined the resistance in Kobani against Daash [IS, or Islamic State]. They only complain, because they can’t do anything [on the ground],” he said.
“Their families, sons are also living in Kobani. You need soldiers to protect them against ISIS [Islamic state] and the regime in the future.”

Kurds have also fled from Syria, fearing arrest for escaping military service in the Syrian army. But the YPG has prevented the Syrian regime from capturing young men inside the Kurdish regions.
