Let us turn the black day into a day for freedom
"When Abdullah Öcalan himself says: "I have not reached freedom and I am not a free man" he wants to make clear that this struggle against the mentality which destroys the women's identity and in this way also destroys society, abolishes history, never ends."
YPJ spokesperson Ruksen Mohamed speaks about Abdullah Öcalan, the role and meaning of his leadership, for the struggle of women's liberation and the general struggle for freedom.

Statement by the SDC in regards to the sectarian violence in Syria's coastal region
Amid rising tensions in the areas of Syria’s coastal region, the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) affirms that protecting the lives of Syrians is an absolute priority. This protection must extend to all individuals, regardless of their affiliations. There can be no justification for escalating violence against civilians and local institutions.
The SDC calls on the authorities in Damascus to prioritize reason in addressing these events. It urges the authority to urgently assume its national responsibilities to de-escalate the situation. Also, it emphasizes that targeting civilians constitutes a blatant violation of civil peace. Additionally, attacks on local police forces are equally condemnable.
We categorically reject military confrontations. Instead, we call for addressing the root causes of tension through serious and responsible dialogue.
This dialogue must take place away from militarization and sectarian incitement. Prioritizing the national interest is essential to avoid repeating the painful experiences in Syria’s history and neighboring countries.
Civil peace is the cornerstone of any stable and secure future. Any form of violence undermines this foundation and deepens societal divisions. Similarly, sectarian incitement only prolongs suffering and fuels instability.
Therefore, we call on all Syrians to reject sedition in all its forms. Hate speech must also be confronted and eliminated. It is crucial for Syrians to unite in protecting the social fabric of their society.
Fostering dialogue and mutual understanding is a collective responsibility. Syria can only rise through the unity of its people. Respecting the diversity that forms Syria’s national identity is key to achieving this unity.
In this context, we warn of the significant escalation that is currently unfolding. Such an escalation could drag Syria back into a cycle of violence, serving the interests of those who reject peace. It would also undermine the security and unity of the country, further destabilizing the region.
We also stress the necessity of establishing a transitional justice mechanism. This mechanism must hold perpetrators of crimes accountable for their actions. At the same time, it should outline a clear path for national reconciliation. This path must ensure justice and promote an inclusive national peace process. At the same time, we warn against attempts by regional powers to exploit the internal conflict in Syria. We believe that international silence on this matter is unjustified and unacceptable.
Therefore, we urge the United Nations and the Security Council to adopt more serious and decisive positions. They should issue a binding resolution calling for a nationwide ceasefire in Syria. Additionally, they must support a comprehensive and meaningful political process that ensures stability and puts an end to the cycle of violence.
The SDC reiterates its commitment to working towards a just political solution. This solution must achieve lasting peace and stability for Syria.
It is essential to ensure a secure and prosperous future for all Syrians. Such a future must be built, free from the logic of war and conflict. These have only brought destruction and suffering to the Syrian people.

Statement by the YPJ General Command to the People of Myanmar
To the people of Myanmar,
as the Women’s Defense Units (YPJ) of North and East Syria we express our deepest condolences to all the families of those citizens that have lost their lives or are still being missed as a result of the earthquake and in general to the people of Myanmar for the pain that you are experiencing, as we share it with you.
As a result of this brutal capitalist system we are facing today not just an ecocide at an accelerating pace, but know that the consequences of this is burdened on the people as states refuse to care for their people’s protection. While the government should be rescuing people and rebuilding the country after such devastation, the junta has decided to do the opposite, continuing its war against the democratic nation of Myanmar.

We are deeply saddened by the death of Pope Francis and send our condolences to all peoples of the Catholic faith.
Human values had a great place in the life of Pope Francis. He fought for peace, democracy, human rights and the protection of nature. As much as it is a painful Easter Monday it will be even more remembered as a day of peace and democracy.
