QAMISHLI, SYRIA – The civil war now engulfing Syria emerged from its people’s desire for political change. But the war is not universal: since the outbreak of protests in 2011 against President Bashar al-Assad’s regime – and long before – one group of Syrians, the Kurdish community, has consistently sought peaceful change and respect for the rights of all.
叙利亚卡米什利——目前席卷叙利亚的内战源于叙利亚人政治改革的愿望。但并非所有人都愿意接受战争：自从2011年爆发反对总统巴沙尔·阿萨德政权的抗议活动后——甚至在此之前很久——叙利亚库尔德团体就始终如一地为实现和平变革和尊重所有人权利而努力奋斗。
