From John: "Look at this "reportage": Not a single mention of the YPG/PKK, it implies that the only defenders of Kobani are Iraqi peshmerga and the FSA. By the way the other week Le Monde's Syria blog denounced a rally in support of Kobani because it was defended by the regime-allied YPG. Le Monde basically took a Turkish attitude of "let the Kurds and Daesh kill each other".
