Al Jazeera's Hoda Abdel Hamid reports from the village of Dashta Takh on the far northern edge of Iraq. The area is closely monitored by Turkish soldiers camped in the mountains just a few hundred metres away. The border consists of nothing else than a river and there is no Iraqi military presence. Residents describe a low intensity, but continuous shelling campaign around their village. Dashta Takh is one of many villages dotting this long mountainous border trapped in the ongoing fight between Turkey and the PKK. Even though the fighters are Kurds, many villagers have little sympathy for their struggle.
