What a load of bullshit, he is either threaten or brainwashed. There are no journalists because ISIS cuts their head off and Kobani has not fallen yet, as a matter of fact, i actually think he is not even in Kobani. This looks like North Korea type of news. I sure hope they send all the ISIS supporters from Europe to Syria and get finished there than have them deny their obvious support and suck on our society benefits.

What's interesting is the minor bits of truth in it all. He is in Kobani, that's the Turkish border post to the north east of the city in the background. Western media really do take what Kurds say at face value despite them falling to the same trappings as everyone else in the middle east: exaggeration of victories, putting down defeats, and sometimes outright lying. ISIS still does hold 50% or so of the city despite seemingly being always "retreating" for the past 2 weeks. Of course this video is guilty of all that too but their weird way of trying to reach out to westerners is interesting to say the least. Mixing propaganda with some slight truths to make everything seem grey, an obvious tactic. They're adapting to modern media.
