Koban? (Ain Al-Arab) became an abscess that confront both worlds: the progressive forces,
secular and revolutionary one hand, the religious fanatics on the other. ---- For several
days at the Syrian-Turkish border, the city of Koban? is besieged by forces of the Islamic
State (Daech). Koban? is a strategic bolt. If the city falls, the whole Syrian Kurdistan
is threatened, and with it a political and social model, that of "democratic autonomy" and
"democratic confederalism" built since July 2012. ---- More than 100,000 inhabitants and
residents have r?fugi?.es on Turkish territory. ---- To see: the photo essay on Lemonde.fr

---- The city is defended by popular protection units (YPG), militias linked to the PKK,
and in which the majority are fighting the Kurds, but also Arabs, Turks, Muslims, Yazidis,
Christians or atheists, uni.es against the fanatics of Daech.
