For some background, various Syrian rebel groups forming bigger groups is a continuation of a trend that's been going on all year, and is decisively an anti-ISIS development. The Arab rebels already formed their own anti-ISIS coalition earlier this year, and this is clearly an extension of that. It includes most notably the Kurds but also Assyrians, Turkmens and Syriacs. And of course Arabs. (That's about all the significan ethnic groups in Syria I think.)
To quote:
How democratic is anyone's guess, but islamists would never sign on to that part about womens freedom. Which is why I think it's there. (Also I'm guessing YPJ wanted that in there, and since they've been one of the most succesful forces in the fight against ISIS, they have a some pull.) |
These are groups that Russia will be targeting, I imagine.
