London, UK. 26th May 2018. Kurds and supporters hold a short rally outside the BBC before marching to Downing St and Parliament Square to call for an end to the Turkish occupation of Afrin. Some hold placards showing Turkish President Erdogan in red with the label 'TERRORIST'. Speakers included the aunt of British volunteer Anna Campbell, killed defending Afrin. The invasion of Afrin began in January, and was carried out by Turkish forces together with former ISIS fighters. The Kurdish forces withdrew in March when they were in danger of being encircled and have vowed to continue the fight to regain Afrin through a guerilla war. Erdogan wants to attack other Kurdish areas of Syria, but his plans seem to be opposed by both Russia, who would like Afrin to be handed back to the Syrian regime, and the US.
