SYRIA. Kobane. August 8, 2015.
Mustafa Ahmed Ibrahim sits with his 4-year-old daughter Roda inside their home in the Kurdish-held town of Kobane. Mustafa and his family returned to Kobane after being refugees in Turkey during the siege of Kobane.
In January 2015, the YPG backed by coalition airstrikes succeeded in expelling the Islamic State (IS) from the town. Seventy percent of the city was destroyed by airstrikes and fighting. The YPG now controls the town, which has mostly been reduced to rubble.
