Thousand of Arabs flee from Kurdish fighters in Syria's north


Thousands of Sunni Arab civilians in northern Syria are reportedly fleeing their homes[​IMG] to avoid attacks by Kurdish fighters in what is described as an apparent ethnic cleansing campaign.

A report in The Times newspaper[​IMG] on Monday said that Kurdish fighters have been "burning Arab villages" in areas they control around Kobane as part of a campaign against local Arabs.

The article alleges that members of the Kurdish People's Protection[​IMG] Units (YPG), a close ally of the West in the fight against Isis, are carrying out the attacks.
