London, UK. 26th May 2018. Kurds and supporters march from their rally outside the BBC to Downing St and Parliament Square to call for an end to the Turkish occupation of Afrin. Some marchers wore traditional Kurdish headscarves or scarves and carried YPJ and YPG flags. 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.
