Q50: By the end of 2015, who will control Kobani, Syria?
Kurdish Forces: 65%
The Islamic State: 15%
The (current) Syrian Government: 5%
Someone Else: 15%
(Control in this question refers to de-facto physical control, not legal control)
Kurdish forces recently captured the Syrian town of Kobani from the Islamic State, after a four-month battle. The surrounding territory is still controlled by the Islamic State (see this map).
I think the Kurds will still be in control of Kobani by year's end. The Islamic State might be able to recapture it. The current Syrian government could also recapture it (although I think this is somewhat unlikely). It is also possible that a new Syrian government will be formed and take it over (by consent of the current Kurdish forces, probably).
