RT @mutludc (Mutlu Civiroglu): Moments ago, I received a direct distress signal and video footage from local journalist Hevidar Herani inside #Kobani The Situation: Hevidar reports that #Kobane is now under total siege. • Blackout: Water and electricity have been cut. The internet was severed shortly before she managed to send this file. • The Threat: Extremist forces are closing in on the city center. This is a targeted campaign of revenge against the city that historically defeated #ISIS in 2014. • Humanitarian Crisis: Civilians, including children and the elderly, are trapped in darkness. Analysis: The vengeance against Kobani is palpable. The forces encircling the city are seeking to undo the symbolic and strategic victory the #Kurds achieved against global terrorism. By cutting off life support systems, they are weaponizing basic necessities against a population that stood as the world's frontline defense. The Call: Hevidar’s message to me was clear: "World Must Stand up for Kobani." This is a verified SOS. The international community must act before the 2014 massacres are repeated. #Syria

RT @BehrouzBoochani (Behrouz Boochani): The Kurdish city of Kobani is now besieged by jihadists and cut off from water, electricity, and basic necessities. The internet has also been shut down. Kobani and the Kurdish people are at risk of genocide. As shown on the map, Turkey has closed the northern border, leaving the city surrounded by jihadist forces. #KobaniUnderAttack #Kobani #Syria #Kurdistan #Rojava
