Kurdish supporters of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) wave flags as they celebrate in Syria’s northeasten city of Qamishli on February 27, 2015 after Kurdish fighters seized the eastern and southern outskirts of a key Islamic State group stronghold in Syria’s northeastern Hasakeh province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said. Fighters from the YPG had entered Tal Hamis and captured parts of the town after six days of clashes with the jihadists, the Britain-based group said. AFP PHOTO / DELIL SOULEIMAN
