Turkish state forces know no bounds in the savagery they commit against the Kurdish people whom they terrorize with a “clear instruction” of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu.

A photo from Şırnak shows 24-year-old Hacı Lokman Birlik tied behind an armored police vehicle and dragged on the ground after his execution by special operation teams in Dicle neighborhood of Şırnak late Friday.

Eyewitnesses told that Birlik was first wounded in the armed attack of state forces, upon which special operation members came near him, shot him to death, and stepped on his head as they had a photo taken at the scene. Witnesses said the policemen later dragged Birlik's body on the ground until they took it out of the street where they killed him in Dicle neighborhood.

Cemile Cagirga: A Girl is Freezing Under State Fire

“As a child born in the southeast, after the ‘90s, you’re not really a kid. During your infancy, you’re really a child between 1-5 years old. As a 6-year old, you’ve actually grown up and are considered to be 15 years old. When you turn 10, you’re actually 20. After 15, you feel like you’re 40 years old.”

İmren Demirbaş, 16-year old Kurdish girl, Diyarbakir [1]

“Look here, here, underneath this black marble
A child is buried; if he had lived for one more recess
He would have risen from nature to the blackboard.
He was killed in a lesson of the state.”

Gangs affiliated to Al-Nusra, Ahrar Al-Sham and Nureddin Zenki have intensified their attacks on the YPG/YPJ-held Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood of Aleppo for the last one week. The attacks have left two civilians dead, one of them a child, and 15 others wounded.

YPG Aleppo General Commander Rezan Rojhat answered ANF's questions about the reason why the attacks have intensified, the current situation in the neighborhood and the role of the Turkish state in these attacks.

YPG Commander stated that attacks on Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood have increased in line with the “buffer zone” plan of the Turkish state which -he said- has sent munitions to the gang groups several days ago. Rezan Rojhat remarked that Al-Nusra gangs have deployed all their forces around the neighborhood and are now preparing for a more extensive assault within the coming days.

Attacks by ISIS gangs on Kobanê town of West Kurdistan, Rojava, began in the spring of 2014. Gang groups launched their first attack on Kobanê on March 22nd, soon after the celebration of Newroz Fest on Hill Mishtenur. This was yet not the first confrontation of the ISIS anf YGP/YPJ that had previously fought with and defeated Al-Nusra gangs. Armed clashes had formerly taken place between YPG/YPJ fighters and ISIS gangs when they attacked the Cizîrê Canton of Rojava territory. Still, Kobanê always remained at the center of attacks by ISIS that emerged as an international paramilitary organization after the elimination of similar gang groups in Syria, Al-Nusra being in the first place.

More than two-thirds of Israel's oil in the past five months has been imported from the Kurdistan Regional Government, according to a Financial Times report.

From early May through August, 77 percent of Israeli oil - or 19mn barrels worth an estimated $1bn - came from the semi-autonomous region, according to the report.

The reported figures have emerged a little more than a year after the first tanker of Iraqi Kurdish crude was delivered to Israel.
