Strategic significance

"The Kurds are pursuing their own interests, specifically removing barriers to the establishment of a proto-state entity in northern Syria. Yet jihadis are one of the main obstacles," says Thomas Pierret, an expert on Syria and Islamist movements. For him, "the Kurds exploit an unfavorable environment for jihadists, including the growing hostility of the Free Syrian Army (FSA, rebels) and the public as well as major powers".[101]

According to Charles Lister, expert with the IHS Jane's Terrorism and Insurgency Centre, "this remote area had become very important, especially for the jihadists who can turn it into a shelter and income benefit from the oil fields in it".[101]
