I want to share this news I have read today. It’s all about the violence broke out at a demonstration against military conscription and against a backdrop of growing anger over a deepening economic crisis which the area’s Kurdish leadership is struggling to contain. The latest unrest comes weeks after similar riots gripped other parts of the autonomous zone Kurdish forces have carved out in northeastern Syria since civil war broke out in 2011. Demonstrators initially took to the street to demand an end to forced military conscription. But the protests swelled after one of their number was shot dead on Monday. Protesters blocked roads and attacked an Asayish checkpoint outside Manbij on Tuesday, the Observatory said, prompting security forces to respond with live fire. Last month, two people died in clashes that broke out in parts of northeastern Syria over a decision by the Kurdish administration to raise fuel prices.
