Hi everyone, it's me, James, and I'm coming at you today with one of these little requests

0:07.1

that I make sometimes when there's something that we would like you to do, when it's very

important to do so. Today, I want to talk to you about Syria and specifically northeast Syria.

0:18.1

So with the world's eyes fixed on Syria, many are rightly celebrating as the brutal

0:21.5

dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad comes to an end. But for Kurdish and other minority communities,
