Kobané of the Kurds would go home but ruined city awaits

In Syria, the inhabitants of the Kurdish town Kobané are smiling: the fighters of the Islamic State group were driven out, the city is freed, but at what price. According to the first journalists arrived in the eastern part of Kobané, this one is completely destroyed.

After four months of fierce fighting, whole blocks of buildings were razed, neighborhoods whose population has massively fled during the fighting, and now finds itself not very far, but on the other side of the border with Turkey, in overcrowded refugee camps. The border is closed, and impossible for the Kurds of northern Syria to return home.

200,000 people live for months in the Turkish camp Mursitpinar refugees. All want to go home, but many know that this is a battlefield ahead.

"Let us go, says this man. There must be security forces there to protect us and prevent cruelty. We must protect and prevent these vicious people come back. "

"We want other countries to help us, help our people, adds another. We want to go Kobané and live there in peace. We want to be sure they are on track. "

The Kurdistan authorities requested the Kurdish refugees from Turkey not to attempt to return before spring, the area is not yet completely free of jihadists.
