Background The Kurds as an ethnic group are believed to be a combination of earlier Indo-European tribes who migrated and inhabited a mountainous area thousands of years ago. However, as it is difficult to describe the precise history of their origin, it is necessary to investigate their population relationship with other geographical and ethnic groups. Results Seventeen Short Tandem Repeat markers on the Y chromosome (Y-STR) included in the AmpFLSTR™ Yfiler™ PCR Amplification Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) were used to type DNA samples from the Sorani (Central) Kurdish population in Sulaymaniyah province. One hundred fifty-seven haplotypes were obtained from 162 unrelated male individuals. The highest and lowest gene diversities were DYS385a/b (GD = 0.848) and DYS392 (GD = 0.392), respectively. The haplotypes were used to predict the most likely haplogroups in the Sulaymaniyah population. Conclusion Haplogroup prediction indicated predominance (28%) of subclade J2 (44/157) in the Sorani Kurds, northeast of Iraq. The pairwise genetic distance results showed that the Kurdish group clustered along with Asian populations, whereas the furthest countries were Europeans and Africans.

“…Con una población de entre 3,5 y 4 millones de personas, constituyen entre el 15 % y el 17 % del total (con respecto al número de habitantes antes de la guerra) y se encuentran localizados, principalmente, al nororiente de Siria en una región que ellos denominan "Rojava" (Radpey, 2016). Empero, históricamente el gobierno sirio ha perseguido y ha privado a la minoría kurda de sus derechos básicos, alimentando con ello durante décadas su deseo de alcanzar mayores niveles de autonomía.…”

análisis político nº 91, Bogotá, septiembre-diciembre, 2017: págs. 72-95[72] RESUMENLas guerras no convencionales que tienen lugar en Siria e Irak se caracterizan por la participación de una compleja red de actores estatales y no estatales que aplican técnicas asimétricas de lucha en una región profundamente dividida en líneas religiosas y étnicas. Ante este escenario, la administración Obama intervino militarmente en la zona aplicando el modelo de guerra afgano; una estrategia que reemplaza a las tropas convencionales estadounidenses en el terreno por aliados locales que son respaldados por el poder aéreo norteamericano y por las Fuerzas de Operaciones Especiales. A pesar de que existe un consenso en torno a que cada método de guerra posee tanto fortalezas como debilidades, aún prevalece como una cuestión debatible las implicaciones que este modelo puede generar sobre la estabilidad regional.El presente artículo establece las implicaciones que el modelo de guerra afgano implementado por la administración estadounidense en Siria e Irak puede generar sobre la estabilidad regional. Para ello, se caracteriza la situación de conflicto en cada uno de estos países y se analiza la manera en que el modelo ha sido empleado en cada uno de ellos. Se encuentra que a pesar de que a través del modelo de guerra afgano se ha pretendido mantener a las tropas estadounidenses alejadas del teatro de operaciones en Siria e Irak, su puesta en marcha podría traducirse en un progresivo involucramiento militar estadounidense en la zona, en el empoderamiento de otros actores locales cuyas agendas e intereses no necesariamente se ajustan a los de Estados Unidos y, en definitiva, en un detrimento para el ya delicado equilibrio regional.Palabras clave: modelo de guerra afgano, guerra sustituta, estabilidad regional, Siria, Irak. THE AFGHAN WAR MODEL AND REGIONAL STABILITY: THE UNITED STATES' MILITARY INTERVENTION STRATEGY IN SYRIA AND IRAQ ABSTRACTThe unconventional wars taking place in Syria and Iraq are characterized by the involvement of a complex network of state and non-state actors that apply asymmetrical warfare tactics in a region deeply divided along religious and ethnic lines. Given that scenario, the Obama administration intervened militarily in those areas applying the warfare model it used in Afghanistan, a strategy which replaces conventional United States ground forces with local allies supported by United States air power and special operations forces. Although there is consensus that each such type of warfare possesses strengths as well as weaknesses, the implications of the latter mode of warfare on regional stability remain debatable.

“…The first subcategory includes proto-state entities (PrS), represented by liberation or secessionist movements in control of certain territories with a varying degree of effectiveness. The most conspicuous examples are the Palestine liberation organization (Plo) operating on the west bank of the River Jordan, and only partially recognized by the international community; hamaS in the Gaza sector; Iraqi Kurdistan; and the "Republic" of Rojava in northern Syria that acted during the period of its de facto independence (Radpey, 2016;Palani, et al, 2020).…”

Non-State Actors in the Middle East: Towards a New Typology

The latest developments in world politics have invariably shown the growing role of non-state actors (NSAs) in international affairs. Although this factor has drawn increased attention in both academic discourse and applied research, problems related to NSA typology remain unclarified. The present paper analyzes existing approaches to the categorization of various NSAs operating in the global political arena and proves that the available classifications of NSAs fail to represent present-day political realities, particularly in the Middle East. Proceeding from Phillip Taylor’s renowned classification of NSAs, the authors offer a new approach to differentiating NSAs acting in the Middle East, and suggest using such criteria as their relation to the state in terms of functions, state orientation, objectives, and system of management. For reasons of space, the present paper does not discuss the funding of NSAs’ operations and the extent to which they resort to violence in their activities.
