MESSAGE FROM ROJAVA

Dear friends,

Today we report on the current developments from Rojava, the heart of the women’s revolution.

It has now been two months since the integration agreement between the Syrian transitional government and the Autonomous Self-Administration was concluded. The agreements are still being negotiated in detail across all areas, and only small steps are being taken. The atmosphere remains tense in this phase, and society continues to stay prepared for defense.

YPJ

At the forefront right now is the issue of integrating the women’s defense units YPJ (Yekîneyên Parastina Jin) into the Syrian army.
The YPJ was founded on April 4, 2013, in Northeast Syria.
One commander said:

"At the beginning of the revolution, the Kurds – and especially Kurdish women – stood on the front lines. And with the founding of the YPJ and the revolution in Rojava, we realized that we were not only a supporting force, but also an organizational force."

Since then, the YPJ has become known worldwide for its courage and determination in the liberation of territories occupied by ISIS and in resisting the invasion of the Turkish army and its jihadist militias.
However, they defend themselves not only against physical attacks, but also against the mental attacks of a patriarchal state system. Through education, self-organization, and awareness of their own strength and rights, they develop strong forms of self-defense. The YPJ demonstrates that women everywhere have the ability and the right to defend themselves collectively and to protect their land, their people, and their society.

April 4 is not only the founding day of the YPJ, but also the birthday of Abdullah Öcalan, the pioneer of the philosophy “Jin Jiyan Azadî.”

Women’s Rights

The struggle to integrate women’s rights into the new Syrian constitution is an ongoing process in which no concrete steps have yet been taken.
Therefore, Sherin Oso, a member of the Women’s Council of the Democratic Union Party, calls on all women in Syria to defend their rights:

"No one has the right to decide the fate of women’s freedom and rights; women themselves must decide."

She emphasizes that every woman must develop an awareness of legal foundations and women’s rights. Women, including those in high positions, must continuously reflect on their behavior and their approach to political decisions and remain aware of the mental influence of patriarchal state logic.
All women in Syria must now fulfill their responsibility and defend the achievements of the revolution. This also includes supporting the women’s defense units and the internal security forces (Asayish).

Akitu

Today, on “Kha b-Nisan,” April 1, the Assyrian spring and New Year festival Akitu is celebrated in many parts of the Middle East and around the world. Akitu means barley and symbolizes civilization and the flourishing of life in ancient Mesopotamia. Rituals and religion play a very important role in the celebrations.
With the beginning of spring, nature blossoms: trees, plants, fields, and flowers grow leaves and buds, symbolizing new life.
On this day, rituals and religion are of great importance, and traditional clothing is worn.

For example, in the city of Hakkari in North Kurdistan, a red cloth is hung over the front door, while in other regions flowers are used. In the city of Mosul in Başûr, a bowl with wheat and seven types of nuts and seeds is placed in front of the door. Alongside cultural celebrations, the demand for political recognition and protection of identity remains central.

Mass grave in Aleppo

In recent days, we received the terrible news that after the latest offensive by the Syrian transitional government in Şexmaqsûd and Eşrefiyê in January 2026, a mass grave with more than 270 bodies was discovered. Eyewitnesses reported that detained individuals were gathered in the area and then killed. Some of the bodies reportedly show clear signs of severe violence.
Many people who had to flee Aleppo have been missing ever since. One strategy of jihadist groups, supported by the Turkish state, is to intercept people along escape routes, torture them, abduct them, or kill them.
Nesrîn Silêman from the Association of Displaced People from Efrîn speaks of 3,000 people whose whereabouts remain unknown to this day. There is no sufficient documentation of these war crimes.

Al-Sharaa

At the same time, Friedrich Merz legitimizes war crimes, human rights violations, and extreme violence—particularly targeting women—by receiving Ahmed al-Sharaa in Berlin.
Furthermore, the Federal Republic of Germany has pledged 200 million euros to the jihadist al-Sharaa for its own fascist and racist deportation policies. According to critics, this funding ultimately finances further wars.
Earlier this year, the EU had already provided 640 million euros for the reconstruction of Syria to the former Al-Nusra member al-Sharaa.
It remains questionable whether this funding is tied to demands for concrete information about the fate of the disappeared or for independent investigations into reports of killings, displacement, and sexualized violence.

Fire at a grain storage facility near Hesekê

After a drone attack on a US military base in Northeast Syria, a fire broke out at a nearby grain storage facility. The attack caused significant damage.
Reports indicate that several drones directly struck a grain collection center near the base. A wheat storage facility belonging to the agricultural and irrigation authority of the Autonomous Administration in Northeast Syria was severely damaged. Large quantities of stored grain were destroyed and went up in flames.

Şengal

The 6th Congress of the Democratic Autonomous Council of Şengal is seen as an important foundation for the further political and social development of the Yazidi community. The focus was on unity, self-administration, and securing rights within the Iraqi constitution. Participants emphasized that the Yazidi community must shape its own future and strengthen its political position in order to secure its existence.
Despite difficult conditions and ongoing attacks, the congress was deliberately held. Representatives such as Riham Hesen see it as a sign of resistance and a response to threats against the achievements of self-administration and ongoing attacks in Iraq.

We send you revolutionary greetings from Rojava.

Na mednarodni dan žensk so tako pri nas kot po svetu potekala množična zborovanja in protesti proti patriarhalnemu nasilju, kapitalistični dominaciji in vojnam.

From the ‘end of history’ towards ‘political decline’, the USA as “empire of chaos” , geoeconomics and imperialism, IMEC and Pax Silica, battle of ideas, democratic socialism of the 21st century!

“The Kurdish freedom movement describes the wars and conflicts between nation states at various levels in the age of globalised capitalism as the Third World War. This is a permanent intra-capitalist power struggle aimed at restructuring the world system. The actors in this world war are trying to weaken competing forces and strengthen their own position. There are no clear front lines or the goal of a quick military victory. Instead, it is a constantly ongoing war in which contradictions and conflicts are played out in shifting alliances. Today, global capitalism is waging a protracted but continuous struggle for new political constellations and models of order in accordance with its own systemic requirements. The struggles, tensions and conflicts we observe worldwide are integral parts of this Third World War. To understand it, one must comprehend its deep roots in the structure of global capitalism. “👇🏼

On the necessity of comprehending the world in an internationalist manner and organizing and acting accordingly The world as we know it is falling apart. Every day we see Trump's face on the screen and it disgusts us. But he has visibility, and we must connect these faces of the ruling elites with c...

Director Alper: “Kurds, you are not alone”
Director Emin Alper, winner of the Silver Bear award at the Berlin Film Festival, said in his speech: "Kurds, who have been fighting for their rights in Rojava and the Middle East for nearly a century, you are not alone."

21/02/2026

A public appeal signed by dozens of prominent academics and writers is urging governments and civil society to protect Rojava, the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES). The signatories argue that the region’s political model, built during the Syrian war, now faces a decisive moment.

The statement describes DAANES as an experiment in multiethnic governance shaped by local councils, women’s leadership, minority rights, cooperative economics, ecological principles and restorative justice. It frames north-east Syria as an alternative to sectarian rule and armed domination, while acknowledging the project is imperfect and has survived under sustained pressure.

Its warning is tied to recent conflict dynamics. The authors cite a breakdown in talks between the Syrian transitional government and DAANES, followed by operations in Kurdish-majority areas of Aleppo, displacement and reported civilian casualties. They also allege that advances in the north-east were enabled by Turkish drones and allied armed groups, and that serious abuses were documented by rights organisations and local monitors.

The signatories call for political and legal recognition of DAANES, condemnation of attacks on the region, constitutional guarantees for Kurdish identity and local self-government, and pressure to end the siege conditions affecting Kobane. Among those named are Slavoj Žižek, Silvia Federici, David Wengrow, George Monbiot and V, alongside organisers and academics across Europe, North America and Latin America.

Ne zamudite nocoj v PLAC - Participativna Ljubljanska Avtonomna C**a čudovitega dokumentarca o kurdskih revolucionarkah v osrčju gora Kurdistana. In debate s tovarišicami, ki bo sledila ...

V osrčju gora in puščav Kurdistana se odvija tih, a neizprosen boj. Gulistan, dežela vrtnic odpira vrata v življenje mladih kurdskih partizank iz ženskih enot PKK – Delavske stranke Kurdistana, ki so se odločile svoje življenje posvetiti boju za svobodo in enakost ter revolucijo živeti vsak dan.

Film nas popelje v intimni svet treningov v skritih goratih taborih, v skupne obroke, dolge pogovore in trenutke oddiha med pripravami na boj. Kamera ves čas ostaja blizu borkam – spremlja jih pri gradnji tovarištva, posluša, kako druga z drugo in z režiserko odkrito delijo svoja politična prepričanja, upe, dvome in protislovja ter razkrivajo žrtve, ki jih njihov boj zahteva. Njihove odločitve niso abstraktne: živijo jih vsak dan, tudi ko so soočene z nevarnostjo in negotovo prihodnostjo.

Gulistan, dežela vrtnic je več kot vojni dokumentarec. Je intimni portret revolucionarnih žensk, ki z orožjem in besedo ne branijo le ozemlja, temveč oblikujejo vizijo sveta, utemeljeno na svobodi in enakosti ter je obenem tudi osebno potovanje režiserke Zaynê Akyol, ki se svojim protagonistkam približa z občutljivostjo in zaupanjem ter skupaj z njimi išče pomen revolucije in pripadnos

Utrip o solidarnostnem protestu za Rožavo, o napadih na avtonomno in demokratično samoupravo ter dvoličnosti Zahoda, ki podpira zločinsko vlado v Siriji. Pa tudi o drugih zatiranih ljudstvih po svetu, domači represiji, trdnjavi Evropa in novem valu protimigracijskega in protimanjšinskega sovraštva, ki ga izvajajo tako iliberali kot liberali.
