Anarchists in NES<p>*Don't hesitate to boost if you enjoy reading the reports!*</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NewsFromTheFront" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewsFromTheFront</span></a> <br>Weekly highlight from your anarchist comrades in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NES</span></a> <br>31.03.25 - 06.04.25</p><p>-----------------------------------------------------------------</p><p># ISRAEL ATTACKS AND TENSIONS WITH TURKEY<br>Israeli troops in southern Syria were met with resistance when some armed individuals confronted their advances with light weapons. After a brief exchange of fire IDF soldiers withdrew from the area, hitting back with artillery shells and airstrikes leaving at least 9 dead. Several Israeli airstrikes hit locations in Damascus, Hama and Homs, where Turkey aimed to build a military air base. Israeli state sources said the attacks are a warning against Turkish expansion in Syria, referring to reported Turkish plans to take control of Tiyas airbase in Homs countryside with a view to deploy air defense batteries and drones. Turkish official channels strongly denounced the Israeli attacks, but also stated that Turkey has no intentions to escalate conflict and risk war with Israel. Thousands of Syrians from Daraa gathered at the funeral of those killed by Israeli airstrikes and elsewhere protests were held to denounce the Israeli aggression.</p><p># AGREEMENT ON YPG AND YPJ WITHDRAWAL FROM ALEPPO<br>Following agreements between the provisional government and SDF, negotiations to normalize the situation in the Kurdish neighborhoods of Aleppo became the first visible step of the military reorganization of Northern Syria. A convoy of hundreds of fighters left the historic Kurdish neighborhoods of Şêx Meqsûd and Eşrefiyê, waving YPG and YPJ flags, escorted by forces of the Ministry of Defense. The convoy moved to Tabqa and other areas under control of SDF. The negotiations included exchange of prisoners, with around 100 prisoners from each side already transferred. Political agreements include certain autonomy of the local political institutions and organizations, as well as representation in the political organs of the region. Military forces connected with the Ministry of Defense will have presence in the area, but local Kurdish security forces (Asayish) will remain in the neighborhoods to ensure protection of the population, with agreements to integrate them in the security and police institutions of Aleppo in the future. Local structures will persist until a permanent solution is reached within the ongoing negotiations for all north-east Syria and freedom of movement in the city will be ensured for all residents. Observers suggest that the Aleppo Agreement could serve as a template for similar understandings in other contested regions of Syria, particularly where different military and political actors maintain overlapping spheres of control.</p><p># ASSYRIAN NEW YEAR AND DECLARATIONS AGAINST THE NEW CONSTITUTION<br>The Assyrian new year - Akito - was celebrated all along northern Syria on the first of April, with Assyrians, Syriacs and Chaldeans gathering to dance and celebrate. The Assyrian community also made clear at those events that they are not sufficiently represented in the new Syrian state, with declarations and statements denouncing the lack of diversity and inclusivity in the new constitution. Major Assyrian cultural organizations believe minorities are under threat due to the salafist ideology underlying the new government. </p><p>CELEBRATIONS FOR ÖCALAN'S BIRTHDAY AND THE FOUNDATION OF YPJ<br>On April 4th many people celebrated the birthday of Abdullah Öcalan. In Rojava it is common to organize reforestation events, planting trees to restore forests and celebrate nature. This is also the day that YPJ was founded, marking 13 years of struggle in defense of the people of north-east Syria and against patriarchy. YPJ organized events highlighting the importance of women resistance and struggle and the value of Öcalan’s ideas in the revolution of north-east Syria. In Bakur, northern Kurdistan, people marched to Amara village, the birth place of Öcalan. On their arrival to Amara village they called for the Turkish state to act following the message of Öcalan and take steps towards democratization and engagement with the Kurdish political question.</p><p># REHABILITATION WORKS IN TISHRIN DAM<br>Technical teams have begun maintenance and repair operations at Tishrin Dam, paving the way for the restoration of its services and electricity generation. The dam has been a strategic point in the clashes between SDF and SNA Turkish proxies, suffering critical damage from Turkish bombs and attacks against SDF. As the military conflict slows down and negotiations advance, the rehabilitation of such critical infrastructure is a major step that can help provide electricity to the Syrian people. Clashes between Turkish proxies and SDF are not totally halted, but such initiative may suggest that agreements can make way for restoring Syria energy capacity. This would not have been possible without the efforts and sacrifices of the many civilian convoys that kept vigil on Tishrin dam, preventing further damage to it by Turkish attacks. The vigil goes on after several months of uninterrupted presence, keeping watch on the dam and supporting the resistance of SDF against Turkish attacks.</p><p>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Syria</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DAANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SNA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PYD</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPJ</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPG</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HTS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kurdistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kurdistan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendRojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendRojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Comrades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Comrades</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Internationalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbdullahOcalan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbdullahOcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/%C3%96calan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Öcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PKK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PKK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomenLifeFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenLifeFreedom</span></a></p>

The intensity of Turksih attacks decreased since the beginning of March, as negotiations about a ceasefire took place and negotiations for the integration of SDF in the new Syrian army developed. Nevertheless, new attacks in the west bank of the Euphrates river from SNA Turkish proxies this last week, proved that the end of hostilities is not yet a reality. SDF also published footage of three new Turkish military bases being build in Manbij countryside, with videos of alleged Turkish military convoys that include armored vehicles and advanced military equipment such as radars, circulating at night in areas under control of Turkish proxy forces. Rumors about direct negotiations between AKP (Turkish ruling party) and SDF circulate on social networks together with speculations about steps for peace talks between Turkish state and PKK, but until now there are no official announcements in such direction.</p><p># FORMATION OF THE 'SYRIAN EQUAL CITIZENSHIP ALLIANCE' or 'TAMASUK'<br>In reaction to the provisional constitution that the transitional government recently presented, an alliance of more than 30 diverse political parties and civil society organized groups was formed. The main aim of this alliance, including the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) and other Kurdish, Christian, and Druze-affiliated groups, is to demand a new Syrian constitution that respects the diversity of Syria as well as promoting a decentralized and democratic Syrian State. The alliance founding statement present itself not as direct opposition to the government but working towards a unified Syria, willing to engage with all political forces, including the government of al-Sharaa.</p><p># NEW APPOINTED FATWA SUPREME COUNCIL AND RENEWED TRANSITIONAL GOVERNMENT <br>On Friday March 28 al-Sharaa appointed 15 members to the newly formed supreme Fatwa council. The council will oversee religious rulings on critical issues and will be lead by Osama al-Rifai, who have close connections with Turkish president Erdogan and the Muslim Brotherhood. Al-Rifai was appointed as Grand Mufti of Syria in 2021 and have been a prominent Islamic scholar in the opposition to al-Assad regime. Several notable HTS-affiliated scholars, including Sheikh Abdul Rahim Atun, former HTS-backed Supreme Fatwa Council member Anas Ayrut, and new Minister of Justice Mazhar al Wais, also sit on the new council.<br>On Saturday March 29 al-Sharaa also announced the list of the ministers of the new transitional government. HTS loyalists and other men close to al-Sharaa keep their positions in key cabinets, with some new names of technocrats that join the government in less critical ministries. The government remains therefore arab, suni and HTS dominated, including some tokenized members from ethnic minority groups. The Syrian Democratic Council (SDC, political body aligned with the DAANES) made a statement denouncing this new government as a continuation of the exclusion politics of the Syrian State, declaring that the DAANES have no obligation to implement the decisions of such government and that it will continue working for a democratic Syria.</p><p># FIRST KURDISH WOMEN'S CONFERENCE IN NORTH-EAST SYRIA<br>The inaugural Kurdish Women's Conference was held in North-East Syria on March 23rd, aimed at amplifying the voices of Kurdish women within the evolving Syrian society and fostering a path toward a unified, democratic future. Approximately 300 delegates are participating, including representatives from political parties, intellectuals, authors, artists, journalists, and women from diverse organizations and movements. The conference features representatives from the women's committees of the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES) as well as from Aleppo and Damascus. Among the topics was the importance of the continuation of YPJ and womens self-defense as well as rejecting the Damascus constitution. Suad Mistefa, mother of Martyr Hevrin Xelef, said that women cannot be deceived by this constitution and that the slogan “Jin, Jiyan, Azadi” will always win.</p><p># INTERNATIONAL SEHIDS MEMORIAL<br>On March 24 a commemoration for international sehids took place in Qamsihlo, gathering dozens of internationals to remember the struggle of our internationalist fallen comrades. March 24 is the date that Elefteria Fortulakis, a woman from Greece, burned herself in 2006 to protest for the imprisonment of Abdullah Ocalan. It was the 5th year this commemoration took place in Rojava, with delegates from “families for peace” from Germany as well as other groups and organizations. The event also hosted the screening of the movie “Legerin – In search of Alina”, exploring the life of sehid Legerin, a doctor from Argentina who joined the guerilla in the Kurdish mountains and lost her life in a car accident in Rojava in 2018.</p><p># EID CELEBRATIONS<br>At the end of March, closing the Ramadan, the celebrations of Eid become an important event in all Muslim world. In Syria Eid started on March 31st, and for 3 days families will be visiting relatives and friends, eating sweets and strengthening social bonds. Political organizations also celebrate eid visiting each other and building diplomatic relations. The new transitional government made a televised prayer all together from the presidential palace.</p><p># (SOME THOUGHTS, NOT SO MUCH OF) ANALYSIS <br>The celebrations of eid are an important reminder of the value of social bonds in this society, with kurdish and arab mothers and grandmothers spreading sweets and candies among kids on the streets. Every receiving guests and going to visiting their relatives and neighbors for three days. It also comes with the arrival of the spring, as well as the recent celebrations of newroz dancing around the fire. It also come together with the celebrations of Akito, the Assyrian new year, making a very lively days and cheerful days. News of agreements and peace talks combine good with the atmosphere of this festivity, combining well with hopes of peaceful times and the end of bloodshed in Syria. </p><p>For us it’s also an important time to join the local rhythm of this society, to visit friends and neighbors and receive the guests that come to visit us, putting in practice the lessons of hospitality and cultural fluency we learned over the years living and taking part of this revolutionary society. And yes, it’s true that there is a religious component in these celebrations, as Christmas does in christian countries, but we also learned to not focus on that aspect and to value these days for the human and social aspect they bring. Social relations are the key to sustain the networks of mutual aid that are foundational in our anarchist values, and every opportunity to strengthen these bonds of friendship and solidarity should be cherished and celebrated.</p><p>Revolutionary greetings! 🖤<br>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Syria</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DAANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SNA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PYD</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPJ</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPG</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HTS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kurdistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kurdistan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendRojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendRojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Comrades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Comrades</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Internationalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbdullahOcalan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbdullahOcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/%C3%96calan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Öcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PKK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PKK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomenLifeFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenLifeFreedom</span></a></p>

This is a time of hope for the Kurdish people. The message of Abdullah Öcalan sparked expectations for a peace process and a possible road map for a democratization of Turkey. This also echoes in Syria, with renewed negotiations petween PYD and ENKS to make a joint Kurdish delegation to negotiate with Damascus. It seems that the years of denial of the Kurdish identiy, of assimilation and ocupation, may be reaching its end. The resistance of the Kurdish people against colonization, against the borders imposed by European colonizers in Middle East after the World war, against the assimilation and genocidal policies, seems to be growing ripe. But what does this mean at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century? The creation of a Kurdish state, dream of many Kurdish resistance movements from the last century, seems not possible in the current world order. In any case, the Abdullah Öcalan's proposal of Democratic Nation is also rejecting such path, deeply questioning the role of nation-states and their capacity to build a free life and a democratic society. </p><p>The negotiations with the provisional government of Damascus, when analyzed with an anarchist perspective, seem very discouraging. The new draft of the Syrian constitution is far away from the revolutionary dreams that brought us to Rojava. However, it is worth to not hurry with conclusions. <br>Many political organizations criticized the proposed constitutional draft, with strong opposition from the institutions of the DAANES as well as from the Druze community. The current political agreements and positions will influence all involved actors. From all years of civil war in Syria it can be expected that hegemonic state forces will use all opportunities to create more strife and chaos. It opens doors for them to step in, assert themselves as legitimate players and pursue their goals. The negotiations between SDF and the Provisional government can be considered with that reality in mind. Revolutionary Northeastern Syria asserts itself in all fields possible and shows itself as a legitimate and viable political actor. It takes the image of revolutionary system here far beyond the "allies who defeated ISIS", towards being seen as a model and a system to be implemented, or at least to be reckoned with. We also should distinguish political talks from ideological lines. ENKS-PYD agreement is a good example of that. This brings us to one of the lessons we as anarchists can find here. We observe that a revolutionary movement needs to have capacity of bringing various political actors to contribute to the liberatory changes. Skillful diplomacy of DAANES and SDF is a good example of this effort.</p><p>In the past we shared reflections on the challanges that HTS will face to assert itself as the new government of Syria. The recent wave of insurgency that shaked Latakia may be the extreme example of that. The occupations of Turkey in the north and Israel in the south, the unrest in Deir Ezzor, the claims for decentralization by the Druze community in the south and the Kurds in the north, are just examples of the challenges that the post-Assad Syria is facing. The DAANES is a proof of how a decentralized system in Syria is not only possible but necessary. Still, HTS will try to hold their grip on the newly captured central power in Damascus, navigating a dangerous balance of forces that can easily derail. If the diplomacy can't reach satisfactory solutions for all relevant actors, we know how easily (and how a fast) the tensions can escalate to new armed conflicts. </p><p>It is good to remember that the estimations of fighters of HTS before the offensive against the regime varied between 10.000 and 30.000 soldiers. At that time, the numbers of SNA were estimated between 30.000 and 80.000, while SDF is ranging between 100.000 and 120.000. In theory, all the main military forces in Syria agree that it is time for peace, to work together to rebuild Syria. To reach cohesive agreements means that all sides also need to make concessions. Assad is gone, and the future of Syria needs to be built on consensus and popular unity, including all the people in Syria and with the memory of all those who gave their life to make this day possible.</p><p>We also know that happy endings are just for movies. Life goes on and the struggle has to go on. We need to use the time we have to be ready for what will come tomorrow. We have a revolution to defend and we have a fight to win. We can't simply wait and expect that things will play out as we wish. We need to make sure that the achievments of the revolution and the lessons learned here help us in the next battles to come.</p><p>Revolutionary greetings! 🖤<br>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Syria</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DAANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SNA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PYD</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPJ</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPG</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HTS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kurdistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kurdistan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendRojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendRojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Comrades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Comrades</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Internationalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbdullahOcalan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbdullahOcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/%C3%96calan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Öcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PKK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PKK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomenLifeFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenLifeFreedom</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Newroz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newroz</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Alawite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alawite</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Latakia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Latakia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Lebanon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lebanon</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hezbollah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hezbollah</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a></p>

It has a very significant meaning of resistance for Kurdish people. Throughout northern Syria big celebrations were organized by the DAANES, with music, political speeches and other cultural events. Many political and social organizations made statements to celebrate Newroz and to celebrate the achievements of the Kurdish liberation movement, as well as the revolutionary steps taken this year, and the recent statement of Abdullah Öcalan invigorated the celebrations.</p><p># NEXT STEPS ON THE AGREEMENTS SIGNED BY ABDI-SHARA'A</p><p>Following the agreements of cooperation signed by Mazlum Abdi and Ahmed al-Shara'a, the provisional goverment formed a committee to coordinate its implementation. Alongside discussions about the integration of SDF into the Ministry of defense and other topics related to security and military affairs, steps are also been taken in civilian affairs. UNICEF mediated a discussion between the DAANES and the Ministry of Education to develop a fair and accessible process for students across the region, mainly concerning Syrian universities and mechanisms for conducting secondary and preparatory certificate exams. Discussions about oil and gas fields and electricity plants are also taking place, with the Syrian Minister of Electricity Omar Shaqrouq giving at a press conference about energy infrastructure repairs in northeast Syria. Rumors and alleged conditions of SDF and the transitional government about the integration of SDF in the new Syrian army are spreading on some social networks, but as terms are being discussed no official announcements have been made this week.</p><p># AGREEMENTS BETWEEN PYD AND ENKS</p><p>Representants of PYD (Partiya Yekitiya Democratic - Democratic Union Party, leading political party of DAANES) and ENKS (Kurdish national union party, a party in Rojava that is closely connected to KRG and Turkey) held a meeting in Qamishlo with mediation of Mazlum Abdi and American officials. After the meeting both sides communicated they reached agreements to end the disputes between both organizations and to build a common delegation to negotiate with the Damascus provisional government. Both parties also expressed their common disagreement with the provisional consitution that was recently proposed by the provisional government, calling for a decentralized and federal Syria. They also stated that they will meet again after the celebrations of Newroz to continue negotiations.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/COASTAL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>COASTAL</span></a> INSURGENCE </p><p>Incidents continue in the coastal areas of the Latakia province that saw the recent wave of insurgency. Revenge killings and kidnappings have continued over the past week, even as coordinated insurgent attacks and extrajudicial sectarian killings by interim government forces have decreased. Alawite media have widely reported on instances of violence committed against the Alawite community by Sunnis and government forces. Several thousands, mostly Alawites, left their homes seeking shelter from the attacks in Lebanon. Near 10.000 found temporary shelter in the Russian base at Hmeimim, but after the tensions lowered, Russian military personal urged them to leave the military base.</p><p># CLASHES IN LEBANESE BORDER </p><p>After a confusing incident on the border between Syria and Lebanon where some Syrians were killed, clashes took place. Forces of HTS connected to the Syrian Ministry of Defense (MoD) launched a raid into Lebanese territory, taking control of one small border town. The Lebanese army engaged in clashes, allegedly against smugglers or tribal armed groups. HTS-linked media blame Hezbollah for the incidents, but Hezbollah denied involvment. Over the week, clashes continued on and off, with discussions ongoing between Lebanese goverment and Syrian provisional government to secure the border and stop the clashes. Allegedly, Hezbollah used the tensions and confusion to launch raids on Syrian territory.</p><p># DEIR EZZOR INSURGENCY</p><p>Soldiers of the MoD launched several raids in the Deir Ezzor region, in areas under control of the provisional government. The raids followed a wave of insurgency and attacks against military points of the MoD, allegedly by smuggling networks and militias aligned with Hezbollah or with Iran. It seems there is no direct relation between the insurgency in Deir Ezzor and the insurgency in coastal areas, but in both cases Assad loyalist elements seem to be involved in one way or another.</p><p># HALT ON TURKISH ATTACKS? </p><p>On Sunday 16th of March a Turkish drone attacked a family home in the Kobane countryside killing both parents and 7 children, with only two children surviving with serious injuries. Many protests denouncing the attack took place all across north-east Syria. Two days after the massacre, the attacks of SNA and the Turkish army slowed down to a point that in the last days, no new attacks are reported. This pause could be a temporary phenomenon, but it comes against the backdrop of the SDF-Syrian provisional government talks. Turkey and the SNA appeared to halt attacks on March 19, which was the same day that the Syrian interim government met with the SDF at al Shaddadi base in Hasakah Province to continue negotiations over the SDF’s integration into the Syrian army.</p><p># ISRAEL ATTACKS</p><p>Israel continued its attacks on Syrian military positions, further advancing their occupation in southern Syria. Some airstrikes are claimed to be targeting military installations in southern Syria, which were allegedly being repurposed by military personal, and becoming a potential threat to Israel. Military occupation forces entered several new villages of the Quneitra region. Besides the expansion of the military occupation, they launched airstrikes next to the Lebanese border, allegedly targeting Hezbollah militias. The Israeli air force also bombed the Palmyra military airport in central Syria in several raids.</p><p># ANALYSIS: Read in comments</p><p>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Syria</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DAANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SNA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PYD</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPJ</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPG</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HTS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kurdistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kurdistan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendRojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendRojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Comrades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Comrades</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Internationalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbdullahOcalan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbdullahOcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/%C3%96calan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Öcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PKK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PKK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomenLifeFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenLifeFreedom</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Newroz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newroz</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Alawite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alawite</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Latakia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Latakia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Lebanon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lebanon</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hezbollah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hezbollah</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a></p>
Anarchists in NES<p>Don't hesitate to boost if you enjoy reading the reports!</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NewsFromTheFront" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewsFromTheFront</span></a> <br>Update from your anarchist comrades in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NES</span></a> <br>10.03.25-16.03.25<br>Also available on <a href="https://tekosinaanarsist.noblogs.org/category/war-updates/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">tekosinaanarsist.noblogs.org/c</span><span class="invisible">ategory/war-updates/</span></a> </p><p># Signature of an agreement SDF - Provisional Government </p><p>On Monday, March 10, SDF commander Mazloum Abdi and Syrian President Ahmad al-Shar’a sign an agreement formalizing what was already discussed and confirming cooperation towards a shared security framework. It ensures Kurdish political rights and paves the way for integration of major institutions. DAANES institutions back the agreement gladly, hoping that it will put an end to the different conflicts like the clashes erupted on the coast, will safeguard rights of Kurds, and will enable the return of IDPs and refugees to Afrin and other occupied territories. In the following days, the UN and relevant international state actors, such as Gulf states, European states, and US welcomed the SDF-Syrian government agreement. </p><p># Aftermatch of Coastal insurgence</p><p>After few days of coordinated insurgent attacks on the coastal region of Latakia, the stronghold of Assad loyalists, forces of the Ministry of Defense (MoD) are, more or less,in control of the situation. Several insurgents had been killed or arrested in wide security operations, as well as several fighters linked to the MoD, mostly caught in ambushes by the insurgents. Many civilians, mostly Alawite population, have been killed or forced to flee looking for shelter in the Russian military base. Security operations continue, combing the insurgent areas. Insurgent attacks, even if not in the scale that they had been, also continue. Interim president al-Shara made declaration briefly acknowledged accusations of extrajudicial killings by HTS-led forces and promised that those who “exceeded the powers of the state” will be held accountable. Shara also appointed two Alawites and several competent, professional judges to a committee to investigate the crimes committed by government troops.</p><p># Provisional Constitution of Syria</p><p>Interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara signed a provisional constitution on March 13, claiming to initiate a five-year transition period. The document is based on Islamic jurisprudence, remarking that the president of Syria must be Muslim. The constitution defends the freedoms of opinion, expression, information, publication and press, also defends religious freedom. The Constitutional Committee emphasized that the document ensures a separation of powers between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. However, it ensures a lot of powers to the president, who will appoint a third of the "Peoples Assembly" and select a committee that will appoint the other two thirds. The president will also select the seven members of the Supreme Constitutional Court, also have right to declare state of emergency with the approval of the National Security Council, formed by the minsters of Defense, Interior, Intelligence and Foreign affairs. This grants al-Shara a massive influence over the formation and direction of the Syrian state. The SDC and other institutions of the DAANES, including the opposition party of ENKS, made declarations rejecting this constitution and denouncing how it perpetuates the presidential model of the Assad regime, not reflecting the plurality of Syria. Druze authorities also made declarations in the same direction.</p><p># Turkey continue on the offensive</p><p>After the agreement between Mazlum Abdi and Ahmed al-Shara, there was a question of how much this implies the end of hostilities between SNA and SDF. But clearly nothing really changed on the ground. Turkey continued their attacks with planes and drones over the Eufrates region around Tishreen dam, were the civilian protests still ongoing. There have been renewed attacks with heavy weapons on differnet points of the M4 like Til Temir and Ain Issa frontlines. Turkish foreign minister made declarations declaring that will monitor closely the implementations of the agreements with SDF, calling to make no concessions for any attempt of self-administration.</p><p># Continuing repatriations from Al-Hol camp to Iraq</p><p>After Iraq halted repatriations from Iraqi citizens in al-Hol camp for a short period, and following coordinated efforts between DANNES and the Iraqi state, more than 600 Iraqi former arrested had been allowed to return to Iraq. This also comes after The provisional government announced that they are ready to take control of the ISIS prisons currently under control of SDF.</p><p># Points of agreement signed by SDF and the provisional government:</p><p> Political Participation – Full representation and rights for all Syrian communities, including Kurds, in state institutions based on merit rather than sectarian or ethnic background.<br>Kurdish Rights – Recognition of the Kurdish community as an integral part of Syria, ensuring constitutional rights and citizenship protections.<br>Security and Stability – A ceasefire across Syrian territories, aiming to reduce hostilities and facilitate political dialogue.<br>Institutional Integration – The merging of all civil and military institutions in northeast Syria into the national framework, including border crossings, airports, and energy resources.<br>Refugee Return – Guarantees for the safe return of displaced Syrians to their homes under government protection.<br>Sovereignty Protection – Joint efforts to counter external threats, including armed groups and foreign interventions that destabilize Syria.<br>Combating Extremism – Enhanced cooperation in counterterrorism efforts against ISIS and other extremist factions.<br>Ending Division and Sectarian Rhetoric – Rejecting hate speech and ensuring national reconciliation.</p><p># Evaluation</p><p>The recent agreement between Mazlum Abdi and Ahmed al-Shara, happening at the same time than the massacres against Alawite population, leaves a bitter taste. The agreement brings nothing new, nothing more than what was already discussed. It is the formalization on paper to reach common agreements for Syria. It takes a step to make sure that no national-scale decisions and talks are made without people of northeastern Syria. Still, it is hard to see the future of the revolution through the large scale moves of state-level diplomacy.</p><p>At the same time, we need to ask ourselves: what would we like to see? What is the alternative? What could be done in this situation? Is there any better way to proceed, something that aligns better with anarchists values and respects the will and the needs of the people of north-east Syria? Honestly, these are very difficult questions.</p><p>We need to reflect what all this means. What it means for the people here, wearied by war, with the Turkish threats of a full scale invasion still looming? What it means for the revolution, with the collapse of the Assad regime but with a new authotitarian goverment rising over the same structures of nation-state? And also what it means for us, revolutionary anarchists who committed to support and defend this revolution?</p><p>In comparison with everything around it and beyond, NE Syria is clearly the most exciting political proposal in the region. Can it survive the war, the lack of resources, the attacks from all sides, the cooptation Can it avoid collapse and annihilation? Can people defend what they fought and died for, and live their lives in dignity? Time is desperately needed to ensure positive answers to these questions. And the moves we see in past weeks do buy the revolution some time. What we are trying to do here defies th logic of capitalist modernity, and this is not an easy thing to do. And as every revolution, whatever happens will bring lessons for the next ones to come.</p><p>Revolutionary greetings! 🖤<br>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Syria</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DAANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SNA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PYD</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPJ</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPG</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HTS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kurdistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kurdistan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendRojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendRojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Comrades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Comrades</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Internationalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbdullahOcalan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbdullahOcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/%C3%96calan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Öcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PKK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PKK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomenLifeFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenLifeFreedom</span></a></p>
Anarchists in NES<p>(2/2)</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NewsFromTheFront" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewsFromTheFront</span></a> <br>Biweekly update from your anarchist comrades in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NES</span></a> <br>24.02.25-09.03.25</p><p>Also available on <a href="https://tekosinaanarsist.noblogs.org/category/war-updates/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">tekosinaanarsist.noblogs.org/c</span><span class="invisible">ategory/war-updates/</span></a></p><p># Evaluation</p><p>First of all, we want to share a self-criticism for not sharing our weekly update last week. We included some relevant events from past week in the present update. A combination of technical difficulties, shortcomings in coordination and other relevant works prevented us from curating a coherent update to share last week. We consider this task an important work to do. We value the trust you give us by following our channels, and we want to keep up with the commitments we agreed. Nevertheless, we are not professional journalists or analysts, and have limited capacities and resources. We are revolutionary anarchist militants keeping up with the duties we committed to: support, defend and expand the revolutionary developments achieved in northeastern Syria.</p><p>About the situation on the ground, as the recent escalation in Latakia region unfolds, the military forces of the transitional government are reacting as everyone expected them to do. The Salafist elements of HTS together with other Islamist militias of SNA are massacring Alawite people and inciting ethnic hate and revenge. Al-Sharaa's measured declarations to simulate control of the situation are just a performance. Nevertheless, his recent statements about conspiracies and plans to sow discord and instability in Syria, may have some foundations besides just diverting public attention. Russian elements have been negotiating with the transitional government, but they probably kept connections with what remains of the military of the ousted regime. The scale and coordination of the attacks may suggest some external support for the insurgents. The fast reaction of Russian army providing aid and humanitarian support to displaced Alawites is an indicator that they have clear interest to keep presence in the region, working to gain support from the local population. How much are they offering a solution to the problem they themselves created is a matter of speculation for now.</p><p>In any case, this escalation of tensions can lead to clashes even in other regions. Different forces in opposition the new government might find an opportunity to challenge their rule, pushing back to gain better positions in these moments of chaos. Also other Islamist groups may use this situation to incite hate and push for further escalation to advance their agendas. As we write these lines, we are following reports on attacks being repelled by security forces in Sheikh Maqsoud, the Kurdish neighborhood in the city of Aleppo.</p><p>In the geopolitical board, the "power vacuum" of Syria is clearly unleashing waves that will influence the region for decades to come. Turkey in the north and Israel in the south are trying to use this situation to expand their influence, entering in a race for hegemony in Middle east that is now being played in Syria. This creates and interesting contradiction for US, since Turkey being a NATO member will oblige them to defend Turkish forces in case of conflict with Israel. But we all know that in such a conflict US will align with Israel and not with Turkey, questioning the value of the whole NATO alliance. Such a situation still far away from taking place, but it is probably what Russia would like to see, and their presence in Syria is not over yet. How all those things will play out, especially now with a narcissitic clown in the White house, is still unknown.</p><p>But going back to the ground level, while those terrible massacres are happening on the Syrian coast and another escalation of Syrian civil war is looming over us, the celebrations of 8 of March brought the women of northeastern Syria out to the streets from Heseke to Raqqa, From Qamishlo to Deir Ezzor. Women's Protection Units (YPJ) held a military ceremony and reaffirmed its resolve to build democratic Syria with the commitment to the principle of "Woman, Life, Freedom". Women, the leading force behind revolution of northeastern Syria, are and will be in the forefront of unfolding events in Syria and elsewhere - including the resistance of Tishreen dam which, as we speak, holds strong and doesn't let Turkish army and their proxies pass to the other shore of the Euphrates.</p><p>Revolutionary greetings! 🖤<br>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Syria</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DAANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SNA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PYD</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPJ</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPG</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HTS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kurdistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kurdistan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendRojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendRojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Comrades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Comrades</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Internationalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbdullahOcalan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbdullahOcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/%C3%96calan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Öcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Latakia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Latakia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PKK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PKK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/8thMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>8thMarch</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomenLifeFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenLifeFreedom</span></a></p>

The situation spiraled out of control, with protests and massacres taking place. The new Syrian army is undertaking the biggest security operation of their short history, with newly created units deployed to secure the area. Insurgent cells set up ambushes and small attacks on several checkpoints, and Alawites are organizing protests to denounce the brutalities they suffer. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is reporting over a 1000 killed in the ongoing clashes. Some Islamist groups linked to the SNA, not yet integrated in the new Syrian Army, are also deploying in the region. Videos of massacres against Alawite population are spreading in social media while many actors, from the DAANES to the UN, call for an end of hostilities. The transitional government forces are now in control of the main populated regions of Latakia, but in rural areas insurgency attacks and security operations continue. Senior officers of the ousted regime are being captured, others are leading insurgent groups and calling for negotiations with the government. The group called "Syrian popular resistance" claimed some of the attacks against government forces, but even if several attacks are coordinated at the same time it seems unlikely that there is any unified insurgent organization. Transitional government forces also deployed alongside Lebanon border to prevent Hezbollah to support the insurgency, despite Hezbollah stating they have nothing to do with it. A brutal response from security forces, targeting not just the insurgent groups but the Alawite population in general, will probably spark more resentment fueling further escalation.</p><p># No government transition after the "National dialog conference"</p><p>On February 24th a 2-day conference was held in the presidential palace of Damascus, with more than 500 people invited to attend. Nevertheless, the invitations were sent less than 48 before the event, making any meaningful participation quite difficult. The invited delegates were mostly figures close to HTS and there was an absence of representation from women, minorities and other political forces. At the end of the conference a final statement was shared, echoing the already announced goals of the transitional government. The conference became a process to legitimize a constitutional committee that will write a provisional constitution for Syria that will need to be approved by the provisional president of Syria Ahmed al-Sharaa. An interim legislative council will assume temporary legislative duties until elections will be held for a permanent legislature. Al-Sharaa implied that the interim government would be responsible to appoint the members of these two bodies.</p><p># Alternative national dialogue conference in Raqqa</p><p>Political entities of Northeast Syria not invited to the "National dialog conference", organized an alternative conference in Raqqa. More than 300 representatives of ethnic minorities and political forces not invited to the conference in Damascus joined this alternative conference, calling for a decentralized and democratic Syria. The conference's final statement calls to apply the system of democratic autonomy of northeastern Syria as a model to build a pluralistic and democratic country.</p><p># Statement of Öcalan</p><p>At the end of February the delegation that visited Abdullah Ocalan shared a statement calling for a peace process in Turkey. The statement called the PKK to lay down weapons and organize a congress to dissolve the Party. The next day PKK central committee shared a statement welcoming the call of Ocalan and declaring a unilateral ceasefire, urging the Turkish state to initiate a process of democratization needed for peace negotiations to happen. They also called for the liberation of Ocalan, pointing out that only he can lead a congress where PKK can take such important decisions as laying down weapons and dissolving itself, putting the ball in Turkey's court. The AKP government announced that it will not negotiate with PKK.</p><p># Reaction of SDF and PYD to Öcalan's announcement</p><p>Mazlum Abdi welcomed the message of Abdullah Ocalan and stated that the call for PKK to disarm doesn't apply to SDF, and that it will continue its work to defend the people of northeastern Syria against the military threats of Turkish forces. The spokesperson of PYD announced that “if the reasons for carrying weapons disappear, we will lay them down,” implying that the SDF will not disarm until Turkey and the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) cease attacks on the SDF in northeastern Syria.</p><p># Southern Syria and the Druze question</p><p>The situation in southern Syria was going on a path to normalization with the transitional government forces. "Men of dignity", the main Druze armed faction, together with other smaller groups, reached an agreement to establish Suwaydawi-led security forces under interim Syrian government control in Suwayda Province. The Druze militias and interim government agreed that local leaders and residents from Suwayda would comprise the province’s security units, although it is unclear if Suwaydawis will have a majority presence in the units or if the units will only be comprised of Suwaydawis. With this agreement HTS forces were allowed to deploy in the region that before they were not allowed to access. This came with the ongoing escalation of Israel aggression in the region, that has been using the protection of the Druze community as an excuse to legitimize their deployment and extension of the "security zone", building new military bases beyond their already occupied areas. IDF also conducted new ground operations to destroy military targets in further regions of southern Syria.</p><p># Evaluation</p><p>*Read in reply of this post!* </p><p>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Syria</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DAANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SNA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PYD</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPJ</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YPG</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HTS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kurdistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kurdistan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendRojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendRojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Comrades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Comrades</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Internationalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbdullahOcalan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbdullahOcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/%C3%96calan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Öcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Latakia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Latakia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PKK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PKK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/8thMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>8thMarch</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomenLifeFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenLifeFreedom</span></a></p>

Turkish planes and drones had been targeting SDF positions together with continued attacks of heavy weapons, as new waves of Turkish proxies launched offensives against SDF positions. The civilian vigil that started on January 8th continues, with new convoys arriving every few days. HTS forces recently deployed forces in Jarablus, near the Euphrates river and next to the Turkish border, in convoys that arrived from Turkish territory into the border city.</p><p># Preparations for the "national dialog conference"</p><p>The HTS aligned preparatory committee for the "national dialog conference" have been holding meetings in Damascus with delegates from different provinces of Syria. Anti-Kurdish statements had been made by the president of the committee, that made clear that neither SDF nor PYD will be invited to the "national dialog conference". The participation to those meetings has been therefore controlled by that committee, that made public statements after the meetings concerning the provinces of Raqqa, Hasakah and Deir Ezzor calling for the dissolution of SDF. A video was shared on social media allegedly showing an SDF/DAANES delegate being expelled from one of these sessions. ENKS, political rival of PYD and in opposition to SDF, also criticized the decisions of holding those meetings outside SDF controlled territories and with very limited scope of participation.</p><p># Efforts to return Iraqi nationals from al-Hol camp</p><p>A new group of Iraqis sheltered in Hol Camp, hosting families captured in the campaign against the caliphate of ISIS, returned to their country. This process is part of the joint work by the Autonomous Administration and the Iraqi Parliament's Committee on Migration, Displacement and Community Reconciliation. The new group, which is the fifth to leave the camp since the beginning of 2025, consists of 618 people (167 families). The Iraqi administration will reportedly resettle these migrants, who have returned voluntarily, to Jeda Camp in Nineveh. Since 2022, 22 Iraqi groups have left Hol Camp and returned to their country.</p><p># On economy and HTS unfulfilled promises<br> <br>At a time when Syria’s economy is struggling with inflation, currency devaluation, and rising unemployment, a recent report issued by the Syrian Central Bank on the country’s general inflation rate of 2024 is questioned by several economists, dismissing the Central Bank’s numbers as inaccurate and unreliable.<br>The head of the Chamber of Industry in Damascus also criticized the Syrian provisional government for their unfulfilled promises to support the industrial sector and incentivize economy. After the fall of the Assad regime, 100,000 Syrians returned from the bordering countries. In a context where it is already hard to maintain the jobs of industrial workers, the lack of measures to answer the need of the newcomers will deepen the humanitarian and economical crisis already ongoing in Syria. On the other side, the announcement of the EU to lift the sanctions on energy, transport and banking on Monday 24th of February can bring important economical changes.</p><p># Trade unions against Syrian government's decisions<br> <br>The Syrian provisional government fired 400,000 workers connected to services and administration of the Syrian State. This was presented as part of a "government restructuring plan", at a time when Syria’s economy is struggling with inflation, currency devaluation, and rising unemployment. Damascus workers’ unions organized demonstrations to protest the decision, calling for a suspension of the dismissals and the creation of independent review committees to reassess the process.</p><p># Tribal clashes growing in Deir Ezzor</p><p>Inhabitants of Deir ez zor are witnessing a surge in deadly clan clashes, increasing local insecurity and heightening residents’ fears, that already left nearly 20 dead and more than 100 injured by gunshots. Most of the victims are civilians uninvolved in the clashes. Community development initiatives promoting dialogue and reconciliation among tribes are unsuccessful, partly due to the fear of repression and increase of violence. Some civilians of the region recently called for “support from local and international organizations to motivate residents to work together”.</p><p># HTS and the of Southern Operation Room</p><p>Banyan Hariri, commander of the Southern Operations Room and member of HTS since 2018, has been promoted to colonel and assigned as commander of the military forces in the region of Hawran. His forces from the Southern Operations Room are being merged an integrated under the Defense Ministry together with soldiers of the SAA who fought on the ranks the dissolved Assad regime. The region of Hawran include Daraa and Suweyda, neighboring with the occupied Golan heights and the newly expanded "security zone" of Israel. This process is also happening together with increased security operations of the provisional government against old regime loyalists and drug dealers.</p><p># New military council in Suweyda</p><p>In Suweyda, the police command has been reactivated in coordination with the provisional government, and a similar process to resettle soldiers of the SAA started. After meeting with delegates from the provisional government, Druze leader Sheikh Hikmat al-Hajri declared that men from Suweyda joining the army will serve in their regions, and that those who don't want to join military service will continue their civilian lives. Allegedly, on February 22nd, a statement of a new military council of Suweyda was shared on social media, rejecting the integration of their forces in the ministry of defense of the HTS provisional government. We are not sure yet what this implies.</p><p># Israel not-anymore-temporal security zone</p><p>Israel defense minister declared that two military posts on mount Hermon and 7 more in the newly occupied "extended buffer zone" will be permanent. Netanyahu called for a demilitarization of the southern Syria and Israel intentions to not allow military forces of HTS provisional government deploy on the areas south of Damascus. Netanyahu expressed concerns about the safety of the Druze community, stating that they won't tolerate threats against them.</p><p># Analysis</p><p>*Read in reply!*</p><p>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Syria</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VictoryCongress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VictoryCongress</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DAANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DAANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AANES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AANES</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SNA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SDF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PYD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PYD</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HTS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AlSharaa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlSharaa</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Rojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kurdistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kurdistan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendRojava" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendRojava</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Comrades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Comrades</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Internationalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AbdullahOcalan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbdullahOcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/%C3%96calan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Öcalan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TishreenDam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TishreenDam</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Turkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Turkey</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ISIS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ISIS</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Assad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Assad</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a></p>
abolitionmedia<p><strong>Kurdish Movement Notes 10th Anniversary of the Liberation of Kobane</strong></p><p></p><p>KNK pointed out that the Rojava Revolution, which started on July 19, 2012, gained a new dimension with Kobanê: “Kobanê is the first spark of the Rojava Revolution and the flag of freedom against the occupying forces. The victory won against ISIS on January 26, 2015 with the solidarity of the Kurdish people and their friends is a victory of human dignity. This historic achievement is not only a military victory, but also a victory of struggle achieved through the unity and determination of the Kurdish people.”</p><p>Stressing that the victory in Kobanê was the first big step in the collapse of ISIS, KNK said: “The Kobanê Resistance went down in the pages of history as the first major defeat of ISIS. This victory was made possible by the joint efforts of the Kurdish people and Rojava revolutionaries. The freedom struggle that started in Kobanê led to the liberation of many regions, including Raqqa, which ISIS had declared as its capital. In this process, the sacrifices of the YPG and YPJ, the solidarity of the Kurdish people from all four sides and the support of international democratic forces made the victory possible.”</p><p>The statement pointed out that Rojava is still facing threats of occupation today and Turkey is targeting Rojava with direct or indirect attacks: “After the defeat of ISIS, the Turkish state directly targeted Rojava. Regions such as Afrin, Girê Spî and Serêkaniyê are clear examples of Turkey’s occupation policies. Today, Kobanê and the surrounding Tishrin Dam area are under attack. However, it should not be forgotten that to defend Rojava is to defend not only the Kurdish people but also the common values of humanity.”</p><p>KNK emphasized that today it is more important than ever to protect the gains of the Rojava Revolution and said: “The spirit of resistance rising from Kobanê is the hope of Kurdistan and humanity for freedom. The gains of the Rojava Revolution must be protected and the Kobanê resistance must always be remembered. As was the case 10 years ago, today we call on our people, our friends and all humanity to defend Rojava. On this occasion, we once again celebrate the anniversary of the Kobanê Victory and the establishment of the Rojava cantons.”</p><p>The General Command of the YPG (People’s Defense Units) released a statement on the 10th Anniversary of the Liberation of Kobane, saying the following:</p><p>“Today, we solemnly commemorate the 10th anniversary of the liberation of Kobane, a defining moment in the global fight against ISIS. In 2015, after enduring months of relentless and heroic resistance, the forces of the YPG and YPJ, together with our allies and the people of Rojava, achieved a historic victory by expelling ISIS from Kobane. At a time when ISIS cast a dark shadow over the region and the world, spreading terror and launching attacks on multiple countries, the victory in Kobane marked a turning point. It was a defense not only of Rojava but also of Kurdistan, the Middle East, and the world against one of the greatest threats of our time.</p><p>Kobane’s liberation was more than a military triumph; it became a profound symbol of resistance, unity, and the enduring spirit of the Kurdish people and the diverse communities of Northeast Syria. The city stood as a front line in the battle between humanity’s aspirations for freedom and dignity and the forces of tyranny and terror. During the siege, ISIS exploited the Turkish border to smuggle fighters and arms, with evidence pointing to Turkey’s complicity in enabling their aggression. Despite these challenges, Kobane became the graveyard of ISIS’ invincibility, demonstrating that solidarity, determination, and the collective struggle of our people could defeat even the most brutal of enemies.</p><p>As we celebrate this historic day, we cannot ignore the ongoing threats that echo the challenges of the Kobane siege. The Turkish state’s current attacks on Tishreen and Qaraqozakh continue to destabilize our region, creating conditions that enable the resurgence of ISIS. By targeting civilian areas, infrastructure, and the security of our communities, these aggressions aim to undo the hard-fought gains achieved through the sacrifices of tens of thousands of martyrs. Such actions not only undermine regional stability but also threaten the very principles of justice and humanity that the resistance of Kobane represents. We call upon the international community, all organizations, and nations who once stood with us against ISIS to take a clear and resolute stance against these provocations.</p><p>On this anniversary, we honor and remember the martyrs of Kobane, whose sacrifices illuminated the path to victory and inspired a broader struggle for freedom and justice.
