Syrian Kurds condemn Orlando shooting

Syrian Kurdish leaders condemned the Orlando shooting that killed at least 50 civilians and injured 53 more on June 11, and promised to defeat ISIS in Syria.

“We offer our condolence to the American people,” said Ibrahim Kurdo, the foreign affairs head of Kobane. “We feel the same suffering. What happened in Belgium and in France, happened in Kobane,” the Kurdish official told ARA News.

“We are all against this ideology that threatens the whole world and has no border,” he said.

“We are the ones who believe in brotherhood, and that’s why the world should support us in the fight against terrorism. We are resisting this terror group and fight those terrorists at their strongholds,” he added.
