Some 1,700 Syrians who fled the fighting between the Islamic State jihadi group and Kurds Kobané headed towards the Turkish border to return home in Syria.
Kobané housed about 200,000 inhabitants before the fighting. Syrian city was largely destroyed. But those who have taken the way home are worried about the future, as Havva. "I do not know if our house was demolished or if it is still there. We stayed there for two months and I'm tired. We are unhappy. "
"We came here with the clothes we wore when we fled for our lives, deplored Zino, another resident of Kobané. We return as we left. I do not know what we'll do there. I'm scared. We are left with nothing. (...) We will find ourselves in an empty house. "
After besieged and partly controlled city Kobané for months, Islamic State group was driven from the city by Kurdish militias supported by the raids of the international coalition. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the Kurds have managed to take control of a hundred villages in the region.
