London, UK. 19th January 2018. Margaret Owen ardresses Kurds protesting outside the Turkish embassy as massive Turkish forces gather on the border with Syria and are shelling Afrin, a Kurdish canton of Rojova in north-western Syria which is defended by the YPG, a Syrian Kurdish militia. The YPG with support from by the USA has been the most effective groups in the fight against Islamic State forces which the Kurds say are supported by President Erdogan of Turkey; Erdogan claims the YPG are a terrorist group allied to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), banned in Turkey, and has said he will destroy what he calls a "nest of terror" on Turkey's borders. Syria has called the threat to attack across their border a blatant disregard of their sovereignty, the US has refused to help the YPG against Turkey, Britain has expressed support for Turkey and the position of the Russians who control the airspace is unclear. Afrin is one of the three self-governing regions of The Democratic Federation of Northern Syria (DFNS), better known as Rojava, which gained de-facto autonomy in 2012 with a polyethnic population and secular constitution based on democratic socialism, gender equality and sustainablity and is widely regarded as a model for a modern federal state.
