8:52Now PlayingIt's been just over a month since Bashar al-Assad was toppled by Islamist-led rebel forces in Syria. Among the many groups hoping for greater representation in the new Syria is the country's Kurdish minority. During Syria's civil war, Syrian Democratic Forces - SDF - rebels fought to create a semi-autonomous area for the Kurdish population.
About 10 percent of Syrians are ethnic Kurds. They're settled mostly in the north, along the border with Turkey, which has its own sizeable Kurdish minority. The Syrian border city of Kobane is home to some 50,000 people, and local Kurds are increasingly fearful that Turkey could try to seize their city.
