    This strikes me as really strange, but Ocalan surely knows more than I do about what is necessary for a free Kurdistan. I do doubt that the people living in Rojava will simply surrender their land to Turkey/Syria, given what that would mean for the freedoms they have fought so hard for.

      I won’t hold my breath, but if this gets the Turks to stop bombing Northeast Syria, the ability of the new Syrian state to project power may get the region enough de facto autonomy that full independence isn’t strictly necessary in the short to medium term.
