12月8日VOA聽力：西方自願者合力反抗"達伊沙"
In the recent months, dozens of fighters from NorthAmerican and European countries have travelled toSyria to try to stop Islamic State, or Daesh, attacksboth in the region and abroad. The woman wholeads the Kurdish YPG team that trains foreignfighters says many reasons prompt the volunteersto join the battle.
Daesh is not our enemy alone; it's the enemy of all humanity. They see things in their owncountry. IS explodes a car bomb and many people die. They kidnap people. Fighters are fromAustralia, United States, Canada, Britain, Belgium, the Czech Republic. I believe people fromnearly all places are here.
One of the volunteers is Hanna Bohman, a former model and soldier, from Canada.
Daesh is a danger for the world. But it is more of a danger psychologically than actuallyphysically. Yes, they do attack in some parts of the world but if you look at the statistics, 35,000 Americans are killed every year in gun violence. The biggest threat to Americans areother Americans. But politically and psychologically, Daesh is a much bigger threat.
Some foreign fighters joined the YPG not only to fight IS, but to support what they say is themulti-ethnic model of co-existence in the Kurdish-held areas known as Rojava.
Volunteer Robert is from France. I came in Rojava to be with my Kurdish, Arab and Assyrianfriends who are fighting Daesh here for democracy. And I hope, after I did my duty here asmuch as I can, I will be able to go back to my country France with ideas and all those thingsthat I have learned.
YPG forces are backed by the U.S.-led coalition in their fight against IS, both from the air and,to a lesser but growing extent, on the ground. These new ground forces may find some oftheir countrymen, and women, already there.
