[Peace-discuss] Al Jazeera: After repelling ISIL, PKK fighters are the new heroes of Kurdistan

[Robert Naiman via Peace-discuss]

I think that this is a strikingly great article, in the sense that it shows
you not only that the PKK fighters are now viewed as heroes by many Kurds
who did not view them so before, because of their recent role in saving
Kurdish civilians from ISIS, but also shows you why many Kurds have
perfectly legitimate reasons to fear rule by the PKK. This is outstanding
journalism of a type that we often don't get to see, presenting a nuanced
picture that is more complicated than good guys and bad guys.
