Battle-hardened officer lives like a soldier ready for action to safeguard ‘the people’
In Kobani, Syria, commander Zanarin Kobani of the Kurdish-led SDF and YPJ leads military operations from an underground bunker, facing threats from Turkish drones. The SDF controls a significant portion of Syrian territory and is engaged in ongoing conflict with Turkey and Turkish-backed militias. Kobani highlights the role of women in the fight against ISIS and the SDF's creation of a "drone battlefield." A new agreement with the Assad regime aims to resolve conflict, though details remain unclear.
