Post photos and videos of Kobani NOT photos of fighters

[Anthea]

PLEASE post your photos of Kobani as it is NOW

PLEASE DO NOT POST PHOTOS OF FIGHTERS

This is not about the fighting

This about what is left of Kobani for the poor innocent people of Kobani to return to

This was once a large family home where several generations lived and shared with each other



This young couple should be the future of Kobani but they will need a great deal of help and support

Kobani residents return after Isis retreat:

‘It was beautiful. Now it’s like a destroyed city

its very sad, almost everything has been destroyed.

Very sad indeed and I am hoping other people will post photos and videos of Kobani as it is now

Other people need to see exactly what is left of the once beautiful city - and the destruction these poor people have to go home to

It is just an example of what happened in all Syria. Imagine Aleppo, Homs, Hamah… Fortunately Kobanî was not an old city and had no historical buildings. But this is the face of all Syria, now.

Well, at least it has become THE symbol of Kurd determination and the defeat of enemies.

Sadly there are a couple of shots of what appear to be lone freedom fighters - fortunately no pictures of fighting taking place and I would not have posted this but for the fact it shows excellent views of the horrendous destruction meted down upon the city of Kobani

now would you let as live in peace ......?

would you teach your child to play with a pen or a gun firstly????

The sad words of a friend

Click on the photos to them and see what remains of our friend's home town KOBANI
now that the world has stopped playing war games there

I cannot begin to imagine how he felt when he was taking these photos
But I do know how very sad I feel looking at them

I bet even Berlin didn't suffer such damage like Kobani after WW2.
