Pro Kurdish protesters march through London

(13 Oct 2019) Thousands of pro-Kurdish protesters marched in London calling for Turkey to stop its assault targeting Syrian Kurds. Many demonstrators chanted slogans against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and waved banners as they marched past Piccadilly Circus and Whitehall. Some protesters even set off yellow and green flares, the same colours as the Kurdish flag. The offensive began after US President Donald Trump ordered his troops to withdraw from the country's north paving the way for Turkey's conflict with Kurdish fighters. The Turkish government views the Syrian Kurdish fighters as terrorists because of their links to an insurgency in southeast Turkey. Turkey has vowed to carve out a "safe zone" 30 kilometres (19 miles) inside Syria along the border to push Kurds back and return Syrian refugees to their country.
