Fighting Continues in Kobani; Rallies Call for Aiding Kurds 
------------------------------------------------------------


 
Heavy clashes have been reported in Kobani, where Iraqi Kurds have
joined the fight against an Islamic State siege. Thousands of Kurds
rallied inside Turkey over the weekend in a show of support for Kobani's
defense. At a solidarity rally in New York City, protesters called for
increased aid to Kurdish fighters battling ISIS.

Kader Celik: "Today is November 1st, and it's a global Kobani day to let
whole world to know that we are supporting Kobani and we don't want any
other Kurdish people to die there. And we want whole world, all other
countries, to help Kobani, help YPG there, help Kurds, like give them
support, give them weapons to fight with ISIS."
