I don't know exactly, but it was something like 80 or 90%, which I think is higher than any other city in northern Syria. And it was also like, it had seen the least fighting of pretty much anywhere in Syria by that point. So the war had been going on for like, what, seven years, and everyone was pretty much untouched. So it was in a pretty good state.

And Turkey and the SNA invaded just as the war against ISIS was winding down. And I mean, it's become hell on earth. It's been almost completely depopulated. I think it's less than 10% now Kurdish ethnically.

It has been ruled by a number of different groups. We can say the SNA, but different groups within the SNA have fought over it. The HTS at times have had control over certain parts of the area. And there's been a lot of infighting. There's been horrendous war crimes committed. rape, murder, and thousands of disappeared people.

And as you say, they really like to openly put videos out of them committing this stuff. I mean, they're pretty shameless about it. There are some pretty disturbing videos of them mutilating the bodies of fallen YPJ soldiers, of committing some re-executions, of wiping out whole towns. It's been awful. And

The same thing happened again in 2019, around in October, when they captured Sary Karni and Tal Abyad. And it's worth also pointing out that these were not Kurdish-majority cities as far as I'm concerned. I think that Sary Karni maybe was about 50%. And...

Tel Aviv, which is kind of close to Kobani, I'm pretty sure wasn't Kurdish majority city, but it was organised under the self-administration and it was organised quite effectively. And they committed the same horrific crimes there. They are an anti-Kurdish force, if we can say that. They are... They do have a stated goal of committing genocide against the Kurds. That's not an exaggeration.

That's something they openly say. But they don't seem to care who they steal from or who they rape or who they extort. Wherever they go, it's death and destruction. And it still is now. And there's still something like a quarter of a million internally displaced people from Kurds.
