Rojava (Western/Syrian Kurdistan)

[Slingshot Collective]

One of our comrades went to Minneapolis to get medical study rich and go to Rojava as a journalist, Slingshot press pass and everything, but ended up at the Sacred Stone Spirit Camp protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) instead!

But seriously, Rojava is still on our minds. Has anyone else on here thought about going?

No, but if you set me up with one of those passes, cameras, stipend and a fixer I can get a passport and figure out the rest like a big boy.

I've been dying to go, but it's totally ilegal for me to go to Iraq. Through Turkey is the only way and I heard its hard to get back through there.

They drink soju down there?
Do they have Kim Chee too?

Yeah, I can take pics of all of it and maybe keep my head through it all.

Does the state department have anything to say about it?

Rojava is now half of Syria's GDP. Turkey and the Kurds will be coming head to head soon as ISIS loses ground... and we'll see what happens then... I've thought about going but ultimately I'd be completely useless there. What they're really going to need now is soldiers, I think.

If the Collective gave me that sort of support, I would be there! I paid for my press pass by myself and got to Minneapolis to do a med study by myself, like a big boy.

From what I understand only journalists are being let in through Turkey, hence the press pass.

But if only journalists are being let in through Turkey, it's a good excuse to go. From what I understand it's totally illegal for journalists to fight in wars, hence the protections we allegedly have... sort of like medics. And if I had that skill set beyond some pretty basic first aid I'd be thinking more along those lines for sure!
