The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are currently relying on an extensive underground network in Kobani to evade Turkish drone attacks. The resurgence of conflict started when Hayat Tahrir al-Sham recently overthrew the Assad regime, destabilizing the fragile balance between the US-backed SDF and Turkish-supported Syrian opposition. With critical locations like the Tishrin Dam at stake, the SDF fears losing their autonomous region, which they have governed since 2012. The backdrop of this conflict reflects a significant power shift that threatens both their existence and regional stability.
Underneath Kobani, the SDF's determination to survive is palpable as they have retreated into an extensive tunnel network to evade Turkish drones.
The recent power shift in Syria has led to renewed conflict, destabilizing the previously static frontlines between the SDF and Turkish-backed forces.
