Kurdish Dreams Fade After Russia-Turkey Deal Ends Fighting

Heather Murdock

   QAMESHLI AND DIRIK, SYRIA - A mournful song was heard on the streets of
   Qameshli on Wednesday, as about a hundred people rallied in support of
   northeastern Syrian Kurdish forces.

   The fighting is over along the Syrian border with Turkey, for now, but
   no one we spoke to could picture what will happen next.

   "Fighters, take revenge for mothers who lost their sons," the man's
   voice sang in Kurdish, before an organizer picked up the microphone to
   announce funerals taking place the next day.
