HUMANITARIAN AID FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE WAR OF AGGRESSION BY TURKEY AND JIHADIST GROUPS
On November 27, 2024, jihadist groups supported by Turkey attacked Aleppo, one of the largest cities in Syria. Fighters from the Turkish-led SNA are terrorizing the local population, arbitrarily arresting people and using targeted violence.
In 2018, Turkey and jihadist groups invaded the Kurdish city of Efrin and displaced hundreds of thousands of Kurds to the Shahba region.
The Autonomous Administration of Rojava (DAANES) decided to evacuate the surrounded population and bring them to safe areas. This decision paved the way for a large wave of migration, but was intended to prevent a massacre of tens of thousands of people.
Undoubtedly, this process will bring much suffering, and tens of thousands of children, women and elderly people will be exposed to the harsh winter temperatures.

Update 3.12. 15:00
In Syria, the HTS continue to advance on the city of Hama, while the SNA, which is allied with Turkey, expands its attacks on the self-administration.
During the night, the SNA tried to invade Minbic. A major attack on Minbic, which is home to a large prison with IS prisoners, is becoming increasingly likely.
Since yesterday afternoon, hundreds of thousands of people have also been fleeing from the now occupied Şehba region to the self-administration, especially to Tabqa and Raqqa. However, civilians are reportedly still stuck in the enclave. There are increasing reports of civilians being killed and taken hostage while fleeing.
The Kurdish districts of Şêxmeqsûd and Eşrefiyê in Aleppo are still being defended by the SDF. There are hundreds of thousands of Kurds in these districts, including thousands of Yezidis who already experienced genocide at the hands of IS in 2014.
The SDF also declared that they had taken over the security of seven villages east of Deir ez-Zor.

📑 Explainer: besieged Kurdish neighborhoods in Aleppo.
Two Kurdish neighborhoods in Aleppo, Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh, are currently besieged by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) after the unexpected advance of the Islamist force and the capture of Syria's second city from Bashar al-Assad's Syrian Arab Army (SAA). These neighborhoods have maintained their autonomy from both the Assad government and the Islamist opposition since the beginning of the Syrian conflict, becoming a safe haven for those fleeing violence, persecution, and violent repression elsewhere in Aleppo and Syria. In this paper, the Rojava Information Center (RIC) provides key information about the neighborhoods, their humanitarian and political significance, the violence they have endured in the past, and the grave threat to these isolated neighborhoods today.

5 years Women Defend Rojava – We will continue our struggle with even more determination

Today again, the people of Syria and the whole Middle East are under attack. At a time when the destruction by capitalist patriarchy is intensifying and war is spreading all over the world Islamist gangs, fed by the Turkish state, are terrorizing the people and continuing the policies of genocide and feminicide. This attacks are against Rojava and our hope for peace in the Middle East.

SOLIDARITY WITH THE FIGHTING YOUTH! FIGHT AGAINST TURKISH FASCISM AND ITS GANGS!
At this hour we are witnessing the most intense attacks on Rojava in five years. The Turkish state, represented by its gangs, the SNA (Syrian National Army) and the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda (HTS), is trying to liquidate the Rojava revolutionary project. Sheikh Maqsoud, the Kurdish district in Aleppo, is currently surrounded, as are the areas of Shehba and Tel Rifat. These are the people who had to flee Afrin in 2018 and are now being displaced again. It is those people who survived the genocide in Shengal in 2014 who now have to fear for their lives again. But it is also those people who are resisting today.
Yesterday alone, we received the news that around 30 young people in Sheikh Maqsoud have joined the armed self-defense units to defend their territories. It is such moments, such actions that will be decisive in the coming days and weeks and we have no doubt that the revolutionary people's war will win!

📢 On the developments in Rojava: The resistance for a democratic Middle East will remain unbroken
➡️ The Turkish state, with the hands of Islamist gangs, attacked the Autonomous Self-Administration of North-East Syria on November 29
➡️ Regardless of the front lines and war events, it is essential to understand these attacks as part of Turkish fascism's imperialist project of a Neo-Ottoman Empire and have been agreed with the NATO
➡️ The current attacks are part of the genocide that aims to subject the Middle East to the patriarchal rule of the hegemonic states but it will fail due to the resistance of the peoples!

Since the large scale attacks on Syria and Rojava from Nov. 27th onwards around 200.000 people were trapped in an encirclement in Shahba/Tel Rifat in the North of Aleppo. Through an corridor they were able to escape to the Euphrates region. Listen to what they have to say and act.

Internationalist and friend of the Kurdish revolution Dmitry Petrov
This photo was taken a little more than two years ago, in the late autumn of 2022, in the city Lyman (Donetsk Oblast), recently liberated from Russian imperialists. "Freedom to the peoples - death to empires! Long live the resistance of Rojava!" ("Bijî berxwedana Rojava!") - is written on a piece of cardboard found in a house abandoned by residents and destroyed by the occupiers. On the left in the photo is one of the founders of BOAK (Combat Organization of Anarcho-Communists) Dmitry Petrov, who became martyr in the battle with the Russian fascists near Bakhmut on April 19, 2023.
This seemingly not so loud action of solidarity, made as a response to the call to actions against Turkish bombings and the Turkish state's use of chemical weapons, made headlines in the Turkish media and caused the international scandal. The Turkish government demanded an official apology from the Ukrainian side. As it turns out, it is more than easy to offend the powerful dictator Erdogan. It also teaches us that you never know what the consequences of even the simplest actions will be. Each of them is important.
Dima Petrov was in Rojava, got education there and never forgot about solidarity with Kurdistan. He understood perfectly well the importance of the Kurdish revolutionary movement for revolutionaries all over the world. The Kurdish revolution was a guiding line and a guiding star for him in his organizational efforts in the post-Soviet space.
Remembering Dima, we must help the revolution to survive and win in this difficult hour. Therefore, it is important today to join the solidarity actions with the revolution. Participate in existing initiatives, start new ones. Every action is important!

The Armenian people responded to the call for general mobilization with a statement and formed a battalion to support the SDF.
The statement says that the Armenian people are with the SDF and are against the attacks by the Turkish occupying state and its mercenaries: The Turkish state led by Erdogan wants to revive its Ottoman project with these attacks, using ISIS and Jabhat Al Nusra gangs and other groups to invade Aleppo and its countryside.
Aleppo is a part of Syria with its historical and civilizational importance, the Armenian people will not accept the annexation of the city to Turkey
The Armenian people will not remain silent in the face of invasion attacks and will not allow the massacres carried out by the Ottomans to be repeated. The Armenian people are also ready to welcome migrants
At the end, it was announced that the "Armenian Battalion" has been formed for defense alongside the SDF.
