This was the peak of the power of ISIS: the Jihadists had control over an area as large as the United Kingdom, held an arsenal of weapons taken from Iraqi armed forces, and were supported by thousands of volunteers from diverse parts of the world. The Jihadists moved towards the small city of Kobanî in Syria, near the Turkish border, controlled by pro-PKK Kurds who had come to the fore as the country collapsed, setting up their largely autonomous region of Rojava. Lorenzo Meloni had been there before, and returned to cover the fierce resistance against an implacable enemy. Contrary to all expectations, the Kurds managed to hold their ground; the Jih..." had no results.
