Kobane

Kobane is a city in northern Syria near the Turkish border, known for its strategic importance during the Syrian conflict. It became internationally recognized in 2014 when Kurdish forces, supported by coalition airstrikes, defended it against ISIS militants. The battle for Kobane symbolized the broader fight against extremism and highlighted the resilience of Kurdish communities. Its successful defense helped slow ISIS advances in the region and drew global attention to the Kurdish struggle for autonomy and security. Today, Kobane stands as a symbol of resistance and recovery amid ongoing efforts to rebuild and stabilize the area.
