Might not be to everyone's tastes, but there's a lot of good info in this post (and I think I broadly more or less agree with it): https://mkaradjis.wordpress.com/2019/10/23/the-turkish-invasion-latest-s... I would be particularly keen to know more about the anti-Assad general strike in Manbij.
Thanks to R Totale for that linked text which is very informative and worth others reading.
Yeah, R Totale, that twitter link is very informative and I had never heard anywhere else of the general strike that Manbij residents carried against the Islamic State when the city was occupied by the IS in 2014.
Me either, although I suppose IS-occupied territory probably wasn't the most welcoming place for independent journalists. More broadly I suppose it does illustrate a recurring problem for libertarian communists, which is that activity that's spontaneous, self-organised, etc will usually never be as well-publicised as things that're connected to political parties or similar organisations with good PR machines.
Not really news but this short text summarises the sorry history of Kurdish political and military alignments with, and suffering from, the various global and regional imperialist powers over decades:
