Kurds running from .... |
Britain is intensifying its involvement in Iraq by flying military equipment on behalf of Jordan to Kurdish forces fighting Islamic State (Isis) jihadists in northern Iraq.
The French presidency said arms shipment will be delivered "in the coming hours" and has the blessing of authorities in Baghdad.
More European help is also possible. A high-level EU diplomatic meeting late Tuesday ended with a statement that it would consider the Kurdish request for urgent military support "in close coordination with Iraqi authorities."
The Kurds will soon be getting long-range weapons. Armor-piercing munitions to help penetrate heavily fortified tanks captured by ISIS from both the Syrian and Iraqi militaries.
Where are the Arab world from that conflict? Egypt, Jordan, Saudi, Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Syria, Libya, Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia, any voice of assistance?
Just a thought.
