IIRC the last episode they did on Syria was after the fall of the Assad government, he "warned" that SDF trying to govern the sunni arab majority areas was doomed to fail and that they shouldn't trust those former FSA crypto-jihadists and tribes. They'll probably make an episode on it this week, will be interesting to hear.

>>2653957
I’m sure he’ll make an episode soon it will eb interesting but depressing to hear his take

Reports of numerous clashes including in Raqqa, Hakasah, and the southern (arab) countryside. Very possible there just isn't a ceasefire.

I think people in the ME are just tired of war. And usually one side's supporter also grew tired and stopped supporting them.
Nobody helped Assad, UAE announced it would stop support right before the stc collapsed, sdf collapses now that the US stops supporting them. Civil wars just shouldnt last for a fucking decade or longer unless outside supporters keep arming both sides

It will become clear by morning whether the ceasefire holds or not.

Btw STG propagandists are already pre-empting the PR for a massacre by saying the tribes are out of control and that the totally well-behaved STG should try to prevent them from fighting in Kurdish areas (they will fail at this but its the amorphous tribes' fault, not them).

>>2654036
Rojava is not Latakia.

They will be slaughtered worse than against Druze. They will be crushed as SDF has conserved its forces.

It's a bit funny to me the Yazidi are Apo's strongest soldiers. Understandable though, considering.
'Shingal must be prepared for all eventualities.'
Threats to the will of the people in Kurdistan are increasing. Attacks and massacres in Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh, as well as threats from the Turkish state and its affiliated al-Jolani gangs, continue. The escalating threats and attacks by ISIS gangs have caused serious concern among the people of Shengal, who have experienced the massacre. Xwedêda Îlyas and Riham Hesen, co-chairs of the Shengal People's Municipalities, members of the Shengal administration, both assessed the current dangers and made important appeals to the people of Shengal through ANF.

Xwedêda Îlyas stated that the current process is a war of interests between global hegemonic powers, saying: “There is a world war, and it has been going on since 1990. Everyone is fighting for their own interests, and preparations for a larger war are underway. They want to conclude this war in the Middle East; however, it will not be limited to the Middle East alone. States like Europe, America, Israel, and Britain have instigated the war in Ukraine to remove Russia from the Middle East and secure their interests in the region. Agreements like Sykes-Picot, signed previously, are no longer considered sufficient, and now there is talk of a David Plan. Wars have begun in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iran. This indicates that we are about to enter a fierce war.”

We must prepare for this war. We shouldn't say, 'Nothing will happen.' We must be prepared for a situation like the attack in 2014. The arming of states to this extent is not in vain. We call on our people to prepare in every way. We must foresee how a war might develop and prepare accordingly so that states dreaming of an Ottoman empire cannot turn this situation to their advantage. For example, there are protests in Iran today, and America wants to intervene. America has entered a process of pursuing a policy of fragmentation. The people are not important to America, Israel, and France.”

<THE SYSTEM THAT LEADER APO HAS BUILT OVER THE PAST 50 YEARS IS BASED ON THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE.
Xwedêda Îlyas continued his speech by drawing attention to the system established on the basis of Rêber Apo's ideas, saying: “We must exhibit resistance based on the thoughts of Rêber Apo, who has been building a culture for 50 years. A system based on the will of the people has been established in Şengal, and this system does not rely on foreign policy. This can be a third line and can establish itself. This struggle, which has been going on for about 50 years, defends the lands of Kurdistan, the Kurdish people, and all oppressed peoples with this idea.”

We respectfully commemorate the martyrs who lost their lives in Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyya as a result of the attacks by the gangs; they became the will of the people and did not back down. They also became the will of our Yazidi people. As we witnessed, 300 young people fought against thousands of ISIS-affiliated gangs serving the Turkish state and affiliated with Shara, fighting for freedom, democracy, and coexistence. Comrade Ziyad and his friends made history and did not surrender their will. Even Comrade Ziyad's last words, before sacrificing his life, were a self-criticism directed at the people. We must strengthen the will of the Yazidi community and once again not surrender to anyone. The state wants to divide us and has done nothing for Shengal to this day. Shengal must follow in the footsteps of its martyrs. We must stand by these martyrs. Our Yazidi people must organize; because no one from outside will come to protect us.”

<THE ALEPPO RESISTANCE FIGHTERS DID NOT BOW DOWN TO OPPRESSION.
Riham Hesen, a member of the TAJÊ Coordination, also touched upon the resistance of the fighters and people in Aleppo, stating: “A very tough and dirty war is currently being waged. This war is not only military, but also against peoples and cultures. The war continues in all parts of Kurdistan. Today, in Sheikh Maqsoud, Ashrafiyeh, and Rojhilat, the Kurdish people are being subjected to massacres. As the Yazidi community, we feel and understand their pain better because we have experienced the same things. The continuation of the 2014 massacre is taking place in Aleppo today. The people of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh are resisting and not bowing to oppression.”

Comrades like Martyr Ziyad and Martyr Amara sacrificed their lives for this cause. They resisted with the will they drew from Rêber Apo's thought and philosophy, and this will could not be broken. Our hearts are with them. The existing borders could not separate us, and we will be together until the end. Our enemy is one, and the savagery waged against us is also one. The source of this savagery is the Turkish state and America. Their aim is to annihilate the people, and they have no respect for any belief or religion. They have no respect whatsoever for the will of humanity. They want to destroy the will of the people. But the greatest will is the will of the people; the war being waged today in Rojava and Rojhilat is a revolutionary people's war.

To prevent a repeat of the situation in 2014, the people of Sinjar must organize themselves for all eventualities. Sinjar is in a strategic location, and there is no guarantee that this war will not spread to Sinjar tomorrow. As Sinjar, we must be prepared for every eventuality, correctly interpret the course of events, and every individual in our community must fulfill their patriotic duty by organizing themselves. We see how war is waged against the people; therefore, we must make all necessary preparations to prevent a repeat of the tragedy of 2014.”

AI transcribed with multiple people talking so it's a mess, but here's part of it

"So what the Kurds were doing is they started the SDF and they're like, we're gonna get like other guys, and we always had, like the Kurds always had other like ethnicities in PKK and YPG, but they're mostly Kurdish. SDF, they're like, we're gonna have a bunch of Arabs in. And that worked in the North, like you had guys that joined it. In Deir ez-Zor, they started the Deir ez-Zor Military Council, and fucking Deir ez-Zor Military Council are all fucking gangsters, like dope dealers, fucking ISIS members.

Bad motherfuckers out there. Dudes you do not want to fuck with. They were like, come on, join us. The guys were like, I guess these are the new sheriffs in town. The DeRozan Military Council, we'll join you guys. It gets so bad. There's such rampant gangsterism and fucking bullshit and killings that at one point, I think it was last year, SDF leadership calls the DeRozan Military Council for a meeting and arrests everybody, like the heads of it.

But then they have to let him go because they're like gangster fucking disciples out there in the Deir ez-Zor country star start just murdering SDF soldiers. It is a mess. I've also heard this is also sort of where the US has tried to split off SDF from YPG. Too much to get into, at least for now."

Then at the end he says SDF needs to get out of Deir ez-Zor and focus on their own shit.

how it started
how it's going

I love how radlibs pretend to obscure the US backing, after and before, as it never happened.
Kurds managed to control these corrupt gangsteristic tribal Arabs?
because they were pure love, peace and freeens.
Kurds now can't control these corrupt gangasteristic tribal Arabs?
because they are backwards, pure hatred, corrupt and criminal gangs.

what 0 material analysis does to a mf.

>>2654315
You can criticize the Kurds man but you cant pretend that this shit was organic and not caused by Turkiye bombarding them for a full year

HTS forces aren't holding back, disrespecting the ceasefires. now it seems the SNA, HTS forces will cut the regions in two. the west side controlled by the Kurds will have no Iraqi access, which translate that the Kurds there will be effectively genocided.

If anybody wonders how do you deal with tribalism, the answer is Scotland, but you're not ready for that conversation.

HTS militants are attacking Raqqa Prison to rescue ISIS members.

SDF and YPJ forces responded to attacks aimed at freeing ISIS militants.

Autonomous Administration of Cizîrê Canton: There can be no true peace without self-defense.
The Democratic Autonomous Administration of Cizîrê Canton declared its full participation in the General Mobilization and emphasized that this mobilization is a national and moral duty to protect our people and the gains of our revolution. While we are in favor of peace, we stress that true peace is not possible without 'self-defense'."

<THE SPIRIT OF RESISTANCE MUST BE REALIZED THROUGH COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY.
Emphasizing that they view the struggle waged by all components of the people as a supreme value, the Autonomous Administration made the following statements:

“We salute all the peoples who, under the most difficult conditions, have created a pioneering democratic experiment based on the will, brotherhood of coexistence, and social justice. The Democratic Autonomous Administration of Cizîrê Canton declares its full participation in the General Mobilization and emphasizes that this mobilization is a national and moral duty to protect our people and the gains of our revolution. On the 13th anniversary of the establishment of the Autonomous Administration, we call for the spirit of resistance, based on the legitimate defense of land and honor, to be realized through consciousness, organization, and collective responsibility,” it said.

WE ARE AN ACTIVE PART OF THE SOLUTION.

In this context, the Autonomous Administration reiterated its commitment to protecting the gains of the Rojava Revolution and the July 19 Revolution, which emerged as a result of arduous struggles against terrorism, oppression, and heavy sacrifices.

The statement continued: “We declare that we will be an active party in every process aimed at resolving the crises in Syria. We believe in dialogue as a strategic option; we see a democratic and decentralized political solution as the guarantee of the rights of all components and the foundation of lasting peace and stability.”

<THERE IS NO TRUE PEACE WITHOUT SELF-DEFENSE.
Although we are in favor of peace, we emphasize that true peace is not possible without 'self-defense'. If war is imposed upon us, or if the existence and rights of our people are targeted, we will continue to exercise our legitimate self-defense by all means; we will remain prepared against any threat that endangers the security and stability of our region.”

<WE WILL ADHERE TO THE PRINCIPLES OF AUTONOMOUS GOVERNANCE.
The Autonomous Administration stated that the legitimate constitutional rights of all components are fundamental and inalienable rights; that these rights cannot be denied and cannot be subject to any political bargaining or compromise, and added the following:

“We demand that these rights be guaranteed in the constitution of a democratic and pluralistic Syria; that equality and justice be ensured for all peoples. We reiterate in the Cizîrê Canton that our strength lies in the unity of our constituent groups. We are Kurds, Arabs, Syriacs, and Assyrians; we have lived together throughout history and will continue to live together in the future. The blood of our martyrs has mingled in this land; everyone has made sacrifices shoulder to shoulder for freedom, dignity, and coexistence. We renew our commitment to the principles of the Autonomous Administration to the very end. Furthermore, as the Democratic Autonomous Administration of the Cizîrê Canton, we emphasize that we will continue the General Mobilization until security and stability are fully ensured in the region.”

The Autonomous Administration of Euphrates Canton called for an uprising and general mobilization.
The Autonomous Administration of the Euphrates Canton issued a statement. The statement was read by the co-chair of the canton's Executive Council, Ferhan Hecî Îsa.

What is the statement:
"The gang groups affiliated with the interim government in Damascus are waging a wide-ranging war against the regions of North and East Syria, and the government has violated all previous agreements and understandings, especially the March 10 Agreement, and has committed the most heinous crimes against our people with all its components. The Syrian Democratic Forces are demonstrating heroic and historic resistance against these brutal attacks on all fronts, defending the region and the achievements of its people.".

It is no longer a secret that the Syrian government in power in Damascus is on the verge of collapse. With its current approach, it is trying to pit the different communities of Syria against each other and create a deep divide among the Syrian people. All of this is done in the service of the interests and goals of the state and foreign parties. Therefore, we warn the government in Damascus that its actions will have dangerous effects and consequences on the region and its people, and we hold it fully responsible for the ongoing war and destruction.

In response to this war and the policies pursued by the Damascus government, we, as the Democratic Autonomous Administration, strongly condemn this atrocity and declare a general mobilization against it. We call on all our people everywhere to rise up, join the general mobilization, and rally around our military forces that protect the existence and identity of the peoples of the region, in order to repel these attacks, defeat this war, and achieve the goals of our revolution and protect its achievements..

This is a historic and very sensitive and dangerous phase. Therefore, everyone must act responsibly and work to eliminate the dangers surrounding the region, especially the threat of the return of ISIS gangs. All of our people must take up arms and organize themselves according to the needs of the war. Just as we won in Kobani and defeated terrorism, we will achieve victory again with the same spirit and determination..

"We also call on the international community to intervene immediately and put an end to the war being waged by the Damascus government. It must fulfill its moral obligations towards the peoples of the region, who have sacrificed thousands of martyrs and wounded in the fight to save the world from the threat of terrorism. If the region is faced with this existential threat, there must be direct international intervention. We call on our people throughout Kurdistan and all of humanity to rise up and support the resistance of the people of Rojava who are fighting today to protect their existence."

Confirmed STG attacks against al-Aqtan prison, which houses ISIS members.

Ambulance missing as Damascus-affiliated factions ambush medical convoy near Hasaka
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - A medical convoy transporting wounded civilians from Raqqa to Hasaka in northeastern Syria (Rojava) was ambushed on Sunday evening, leaving several people dead and injured and one ambulance unaccounted for, a doctor in the convoy told Rudaw.

The attack came after the Syrian Arab Army and its allied factions launched operations in eastern areas of Syria administered by the Kurdish-led authorities.

Dr. Agid Oso, who was part of the convoy, said the attack took place at around 4:30 pm near the Sabah al-Khair point, about 50 kilometers from Hasaka, as they "were transporting the wounded from Raqqa."

According to Dr. Oso, the convoy was made up of 10 ambulances carrying between 20 and 25 wounded Kurds and Arabs, along with a number of Kurdish civilians from Raqqa and Tabqa who were traveling with them.

He said the attackers opened fire on the convoy, causing casualties among both patients and civilians. “Gunmen attacked us. Although we do not know exactly who they were, it is likely they are militants affiliated with the Syrian government or ISIS [Islamic State] sleeper cells present in the area,” he said, adding, “As a result of the attack, a number of civilians were wounded and some were killed, but we do not know the exact numbers.”

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) later arrived at the scene and secured the area, according to the doctor. He said the ambush forced the convoy to split into different routes.

“Due to the ambush, the convoy split up. Some of us changed our route toward Kobani, while others continued toward Hasaka,” Dr. Oso said.

He also expressed serious concern over one missing ambulance that lost contact after the attack. “We have lost contact with one of the ambulances. The driver was wounded and told us he could not continue; we do not know what has happened to it now, and it is missing,” he said.

Doctors who reached Kobani have begun treating the wounded at the city’s hospital, while those who arrived in Hasaka are also providing medical care there. Dr. Oso said the convoy included six doctors and around 15 nurses.

On Sunday night, Syria’s interim president signed a ceasefire agreement with SDF chief Mazloum Abdi.

The 14-point agreement, announced late Sunday, calls for the withdrawal of SDF forces from key provinces, including Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor, and for the integration of SDF fighters - on an “individual” basis and following security vetting - into Syria’s ministries of defense and interior. The deal also transfers control of oil and gas fields, border crossings, and major prisons holding ISIS suspects to the central government in Damascus.

The Kurdish-led SDF acts as the de facto military force in the region. Until Syria joined the US-led Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS in November, the SDF had been the coalition’s only on-the-ground partner, playing a central role in ISIS’s territorial defeat in Syria in 2019.

Rojava’s Cizire Canton declares general mobilization (>>2654950) despite ceasefire with Damascus
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Despite a ceasefire agreement between Damascus and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), authorities in northern Syria’s Cizire Canton, which includes Hasaka province, have declared a general mobilization, calling on the public to take up arms to repel any potential attacks by armed factions affiliated with Syria’s transitional government.

The move follows military operations launched by the Syrian Arab Army and allied factions in eastern areas of Syria administered by Kurdish-led authorities.
On Monday, the armed factions took over strategic Tishreen Dam in northern Syria after the SDF forces pulled back.
In an effort to end the confrontation, Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa announced that he and SDF commander Mazloum Abdi had signed an agreement to halt the clashes and integrate the SDF and the territories under its control into the Syrian army and state institutions. The two sides had previously signed a similar agreement in March last year, though it has yet to be fully implemented.

Abdi said on Sunday that the SDF remains committed to protecting the “achievements” of the Kurdish region in northeast Syria.
The declaration of general mobilization was announced in Qamishli by Hasan Shro and Fivyan Baho, the co-chairs of Cizire Canton, in statements delivered in Kurdish and Arabic.
“Taking up arms is a public duty. It is a national and moral responsibility to protect our people and safeguard the achievements of our revolution, as well as to strengthen the spirit of resistance,” the co-chairs said.
The announcement coincided with the 13th anniversary of the establishment of the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES).

Cizire is the largest of the three cantons that make up the de facto autonomous Kurdish region of Rojava in northern Syria. As part of the Rojava movement, its democratic autonomy was officially declared on January 21, 2014.
“We support a political solution, but true peace cannot be achieved without self-defense,” the statement said. “If war is imposed on us, or if the existence and rights of our people are targeted, we are fully prepared for legitimate defense.”
“Our strength lies in the unity of our communities - Kurds, Arabs, Syriacs, and Assyrians. The blood of our martyrs is mixed in this land,” the co-chairs added.
The autonomous administration said the general mobilization would remain in effect until “the security situation in the region stabilizes.”

Iraqi defense says borders secure as fighting in Syria raises fears of ISIS prison breaks
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - The Iraqi Ministry of Defense said on Monday that federal forces and the Kurdistan Region’s Peshmerga are on full alert along the country’s border with Syria, as renewed clashes between the Syrian Arab Army and the Kurdish forces across the frontier raise concerns over the security of prisons holding Islamic State (ISIS) members.

Major General Tahsin al-Khafaji, Director of Media and Moral Guidance at Iraq’s defense ministry، told Rudaw on Monday that “federal forces and the Peshmerga are in full readiness at the borders to confront any infiltration, and we have coordination and information exchange in all fields,” he said.
He added that preparedness covers all border sectors. “Therefore, whatever situation arises - whether on the borders of the Kurdistan Region, for which the Peshmerga are responsible, or the borders under federal government authority - we are prepared to respond,” al-Khafaji said.
The defense spokesperson stressed that Iraqi forces have both the manpower and experience to deal with potential threats. “We have sufficient capability at the borders to respond to threats and to arrest or kill anyone attempting to enter the country. Our operations are ongoing, and we are closely monitoring terrorist groups,” he said.

Addressing developments in Syria and northeastern Syria (Rojava), al-Khafaji said Iraqi authorities are closely “monitoring the situation and the events occurring in Syria; at the same time, our borders are protected, and we have experience dealing with terrorist groups in the most difficult geographical terrains,” he said.
He also highlighted ongoing coordination with international partners. “Our forces continue to cooperate with the international community to combat the ISIS organization. Information exchange and the tracking of [militants] is a continuous task for us and the international community,” al-Khafaji added.

Late Sunday night, video footage circulated showing Iraqi security forces heading toward the Iraq-Syria border in Nineveh province. Mohammed Jassim Kakayi, head of the security and defense committee in the Nineveh provincial council, said the deployment was linked to developments inside Syria. “The dispatch of those security forces followed the Syrian army’s takeover of some areas previously held by the Syrian Democratic Forces [SDF]. That area contains several prisons housing ISIS members and their families,” he told Rudaw.
During clashes between the Syrian Arab Army and the SDF, Sheikhmous Ahmed, who oversees camps for internally displaced people (IDPs) and refugees in Rojava, warned of serious risks to detention facilities. “Due to attacks by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham [HTS] militants [who are a now major part of the Syrian interim government], there is a serious threat to the camps and prisons holding ISIS militants, because those attackers are just like ISIS,” he told Rudaw.

Kakayi said reports of possible escapes prompted Iraq to bolster its border defenses. “There were reports that prisoners had escaped; therefore, the Iraqi government sent additional military support to the border to ensure that none of these individuals - should any be Iraqi - enter Iraq,” he said.
Iraq has three security lines along the border: the Border Guard Command as the first line, the Army as the second, and the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) as the third. Regarding the forces seen moving overnight, Kakayi said, “Those were Popular Mobilization Forces who moved to secure the borders, but nothing untoward has occurred in those border areas.”

Iraq and the Kurdistan Region share a 618-kilometer border with Rojava and Syria, a frontier that has long been a key concern in the fight against ISIS and cross-border militant infiltration.

Rojava got done like Republican Spain. A faction just signed a de-facto surrender.

The Syrian Arab Army is deploying in the countryside of Al-Hasakah
Erbil (Rawdaw) - The Syrian Arab Army announced today that its forces have deployed in the western countryside of Al-Hasakah, the Tishreen Dam in eastern Aleppo, and the northern countryside of Raqqa.
This step was taken after the ceasefire agreement reached on Sunday between the Damascus government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The Syrian Arab Army Operations Command announced today to the country's official news agency (SANA) that their forces have begun deploying in those areas.
The December 18 agreement came after several days of fierce fighting and clashes.
During those clashes, government forces, with the support of Arab tribal fighters, controlled several strategic regions.
These areas include the city of Tabqa, the Euphrates Dam (Tabqa Dam), oil fields, and parts of the Raqqa and Deir Ezzor provinces west of the Euphrates River.

<Purpose of settlement
The aim of this settlement is to restore the authority of the Damascus government in those areas.
This is part of the broader points of the agreement, which includes the withdrawal of SDF forces east of the Euphrates and the handover of administrative and military control of Raqqa and Deir Ezzor to Damascus.
The individual integration of SDF fighters into the Syrian defense and interior ministries after investigations is also part of this agreement.
The Syrian Arab Army Operations Command called on civilians in those areas to follow the instructions of army units and only go out for essential work in order to remain safe during the deployment of army forces.

<Return of Afrin refugees
On the other hand, Aleppo provincial authorities announced that they had prepared a convoy of buses to travel to Tabqa.
The aim is to return the displaced people of Afrin, who previously fled the violence and settled in Tabqa and its surroundings, to their homes in Afrin.
These new developments come after the initial agreement of March 2025 signed between Syrian President Ahmed Sher and SDF Commander-in-Chief Mazloum Abdi.
Tensions escalated in December 2026, after the agreement expired without being implemented.
Damascus sees this agreement as a step towards the unification of Syria.
However, it is still unclear how details such as security investigations, local governance in Kurdish areas such as Al-Hasakah, and ensuring the rights of constituents will be implemented.

HTS militants are attacking Ain Issa.
According to local sources, militias affiliated with the Provisional Government of Damascus have launched a major attack on Ain Issa, located between Raqqa and Kobani.
QSD and YPJ fighters reportedly responded to the attacks, and fierce clashes have erupted in the area.

The attacks continue, and clashes are taking place in the prison where ISIS members are being held.
The SDF announced that despite the Syrian Interim Government's "ceasefire" decision, attacks continued in Ayn Issa in the Euphrates Canton, Shaddadi in the Jazira Canton, and in Raqqa.
It was also reported that Aktan Prison in Raqqa, where thousands of ISIS members are held, is under attack and intense fighting is taking place.
"This is an extremely dangerous development," the statement warned, adding, "We hold the perpetrators responsible for any catastrophe that may result from the continuation of these attacks."

The Autonomous Administration of the Euphrates Canton calls for unity.
The Democratic Autonomous Administration of the Euphrates Canton announced a mobilization in a statement.
The statement noted that the militias affiliated with the Interim Government of Damascus are waging a large-scale war against the regions of Northern and Eastern Syria, and that the government is committing crimes against the people by violating all agreements, including the March 10 Agreement. It continued: “The Syrian Democratic Forces are displaying heroic and historic resistance on all fronts against these brutal attacks, protecting the region and the gains of its people. It is no longer a secret that the Damascus Government is dragging Syria towards destruction. With its current approach, it is trying to incite different components in Syria against each other and create a deep rift among the Syrian people. All this is being done in line with the interests of foreign states and parties. Therefore, we warn that the actions of the Damascus Government will have dangerous consequences for the region and its people, and that we will hold it responsible for all the war and destruction.”

The statement continued: “As the Democratic Autonomous Administration, we strongly condemn these brutal actions by the Damascus government and declare a general mobilization against them. We call on all our people to rise up, participate in the general mobilization, and unite around the military forces that protect the existence and identity of the peoples in the region, in order to repel the attacks, stop the war, achieve the goals of the revolution, and protect its gains.”
We are going through a very sensitive and dangerous period in history. Therefore, everyone must act responsibly and fight to eliminate the dangers to the region, especially the threat of the return of ISIS gangs. All our people must arm themselves and organize according to the necessities of war. Just as we achieved victory in Kobanê and defeated terrorism, we will achieve victory again with the same spirit and determination.”

The statement, which called on the international community to immediately intervene in the war waged by the Damascus government, concluded with the following appeal: “The world must fulfill its moral responsibility towards the people who have sacrificed thousands of martyrs and wounded to rid the world of the threat of terrorism. If the region faces an existential threat, direct international intervention is essential. We call on all our people in Kurdistan and on humanity to support the people of Rojava who are fighting to protect their existence.”

Yazidi Youth Union: We are ready for mobilization.
The Yazidi Youth Union, in a press statement made in front of the Sinûnê People's Assembly, responded to the Democratic Autonomous Administration's call for mobilization, declaring their readiness to participate.

In a press statement where pictures of the resistance fighters from Şêxmeqsûd and Eşrefiyê were displayed, Lîza Xêrî, spokesperson for the Yazidi Youth Union, commemorated the Aleppo resistance, saying, “In this period when many important developments are taking place in the Middle East, ISIS is carrying out massacres in Northern and Eastern Syria. They attacked the Şêxmeqsûd and Eşrefiyê neighborhoods, where Yazidis also live. The Internal Security Forces resisted there with a spirit of self-sacrifice, protecting the people. In the person of the leaders of the Aleppo resistance, we commemorate Martyr Ziyad and his comrades who sacrificed their lives. Humanity has once again seen in Rojava that the Apoist fighters are stronger than all the dominant powers.”

The statement, which pointed out that sovereign states violate the rights of peoples for their own interests, said: “In these wars, they primarily target the will of free women. This shows that they have no tolerance for free women. We know that the gangs attacking our people are affiliated with the Turkish state. International powers are also turning a blind eye to these atrocities. We are resisting with our own strength and fighting with our democratic nation ideology. Just as we resisted during the time of the decree, we will now stand by the people of Rojava.”

The statement, referring to the mobilization declared in Rojava, stated the following: “Such attacks are unacceptable in the Peace and Democratic Society process initiated by Leader Apo. Leader Apo stated that these attacks are an attempt to disrupt the process. The Leadership called for the problems in Syria to be resolved through dialogue. Leader Apo also declared his readiness to fulfill his responsibilities. We, as the youth of Êzidxan, are always and forever by our Leadership's side for the success of the process. As the youth of Êzidxan, we salute the resistance of our people in Rojava and express our support. We are ready for the mobilization call and will fight for freedom.”

Mobilization message from Cizre: We will resist together, we will protect together.
The Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria declared a "General Mobilization" throughout the region yesterday (January 18) in response to the intensification of occupation attacks by the Damascus and Ankara militias. Following the statement, which described the process as a "struggle for survival," the Democratic Autonomous Administration of Cizîrê Canton also announced its participation in the mobilization today.

In a statement released by the canton administration, it was stated that "Although we are in favor of peace, we emphasize that true peace is not possible without self-defense," indicating that defending the region is essential. Members of the canton assembly and institutions who participated in the statement shared their views on the mobilization with ANF.

Zozan Silêman, a member of the Democratic Peoples' Assembly of the Cizîrê Canton, stated that they have joined the general mobilization as a canton, saying, “No matter what, we will not back down from our path and we will follow in the footsteps of our martyrs. As the people of Cizîr, we have lived together with all our components for centuries. Since the establishment of the Democratic Autonomous Administration, our slogan has been the brotherhood of peoples. The mobilization is a declaration that we are ready to defend our region. We want peace; however, if there is an attack, we will not hesitate to defend our land.”

Ruba El Firêhatî, a member of the Cizîrê Canton Culture and Enlightenment Council, emphasized their support for the mobilization, stating, “We stand with our forces who sacrificed their lives for these lands. The cultural, religious, and belief differences of the region are not a weakness, but rather a strength against threats.”

Firyal Çolî, Co-Chair of the Cizîrê Canton Culture and Arts Council, also emphasized the importance of protecting the gains of the revolution. She stated, “Today, everyone needs to protect the gains of the revolution. While a mobilization is declared, it is essential to strengthen security, health, and all service sectors. Committees will be established in every area serving the community, and security will be ensured by expanding these committees to neighborhoods and institutions. All components of our region live together; we must stand by each other to protect our region.”

In case you're wondering about their motives, here's one tribal overlooking the area and calling it "prison of heroes held by the Qandil militia".

Clashes around Aqtan prison. It also seems that the US coalition has arrived in the area, probably to make sure the prisoners don't escape.

Abdi's in Damascus.

Young people who gathered in the city's side streets also continued their marches. The protests are continuing in scattered groups on many streets and avenues of Amed (Diyarbakır).
