A fact-finding mission to northern Syria has uncovered a wave of forced displacement and home demolitions amounting to war crimes carried out by the Autonomous Administration led by the Syrian Kurdish political party Partiya Yekîtiya Demokrat (PYD) controlling the area, said Amnesty International in a report published today.

The Autonomous Administration is a key ally, on the ground, of the US-led coalition fighting against the armed group calling itself the Islamic State (IS) in Syria.

In February 2015, the Autonomous Administration’s military wing, the YPG (the People’s Protection Units), took control of the area, which had been under IS control, and began demolitions, displacing villagers. Researchers visiting Husseiniya saw ruins of destroyed homes and interviewed eyewitnesses.

“They pulled us out of our homes and began burning the home… they brought the bulldozers... They demolished home after home until the entire village was destroyed,” said one witness.

So, what innocent group fighting against IS do you recommend the civilized world support? Or is your recommendation to let IS have the run of the place.

the kurds are enemies of erdogan and the turks now that russia is involved (and bombing them directly instead of ISIS) its only fitting they start a PR campaign like this one to demonize them

I'm inclined to believe all major parties on the ground in this horrendous civil war have blood on their hands. It's a matter of lesser evils as a means to a greater good.
