I'm going to start teaching English Language Learners in the public school system at the high school level. In working around the district as a sub the past two years, I have met kids from various middle eastern nations--mainly Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. It's always girls who identify as Kurdish. Makes me think the boys are fighting.
I really don't know—but if everyone involved sticks to what they're saying, it'll like mean less violence for everyone in the regions where the PKK has been operating all these decades, and hopefully more rights and representation for this group that has long been mistreated by many governments (which could lead to some moving back home, if things go really well)

I appreciate you making this.
If that's the case now, it hopefully won't be for long (if this move toward politics over violence sticks, anyway).
What will happen? Will the girls go back home?

How did you learn about the Kurds? Are your sources posted somewhere?
I wonder who’s resettling them in the U.S. The IRC is a huge organization. How are they affected by cuts to USAID?
