AMUDA, Syria — Amid the ongoing war ravaging Syria, particularly the Kurdish regions, infighting among the Kurds continues, as does the Kurdish-Arab conflict. As the Syrian revolution enters its fifth year, areas like Homs and Hama have been brought to ruin and their inhabitants have either been forced out or fled.
Despite the wide unrest, Kurdish regions (Rojava) affected by the spillovers of the Syrian crisis have generally been able to maintain their infrastructure and institutions dating back to the Syrian regime’s rule.
