Thousands of young people from Kobanê have ignored the border and returned to the town to join the resistance after leaving their families in Suruç on the Turkish side of the border.

The YPG resistance against ISIS gangs that have launched an onslaught on Kobanê is now a week old. People from North Kurdistan have maintained a solidarity action at the border for the last 4 days.

Despite attacks by Turkish soldiers that lasted all day, thousands of people crossed the border and returned to Kobanê yesterday, having left their families in Suruç.

After reaching Kobanê the people went through the town in a convoy of hundreds of vehicles before going to the YPG headquarters to join the ranks of the YPG and take their places in the struggle.
