Ocalan’s 2026 Newroz Message: "A Call for Democratic Modernity and Unity."

From Imrali Prison, Abdullah Ocalan delivered a message read during Newroz celebrations in Amed and Qandil.

Key highlights include:
• "Resistance Against Tyranny": He defined Newroz as the eternal spirit of popular uprising against modern-day oppression, symbolizing Kawa the Blacksmith’s struggle.

• "Democratic Integration": Ocalan warned that sectarian and ethnic conflicts serve capitalist modernity; the solution lies in "Democratic Modernity" and environmental protection.

•"Jin, Jiyan, Azadi": He emphasized that this philosophy must guide all social transformations and the liberation of women.

• "A New Era": Referencing a process started in Feb 2025, he called for moving past narrow nationalism toward a unified democratic future.

• "Dual Celebration": He also extended greetings for Eid al-Fitr, hoping the "New Day" (Newroz) marks the beginning of the greatest march toward freedom.

“We must believe that we can liberate ourselves from narrow nationalist ideologies.”

URGENT

Asayish Commander @MehmudXelilEli (Siyamend Afrin) met with the Head of the interim government, Ahmed El-Shari(Jolani)

In the meeting, the security situation and the cases of displaced persons and hostages were discussed.

It was decided to establish a committee for the return of displaced persons from Afrin, Serê Kaniyê and Girê Spî

Asayish Commander Mahmud Ali (Siyamend Afrin) and Hasakah Governor Nureddin Ahmed met with the President of the interim government Ahmed El-Shari.

The meeting discussed issues of service, education, management, refugees and hostages.

Syrian Government Forces are currently carrying out an attack against the Druze in the northwestern countryside of Suweida - days ago, after STG forces attacked the Druze in Suweida, Israel carried out several airstrikes against Syrian Government Forces as retaliation; warning Syria to not falsely believe that they could exploit the current war with Iran for their own gains in Syria.
It is important to highlight what is happening right now to prevent the STG media from creating misinformation campaigns again.

Days ago they have falsely created the narrative that these airstrikes were fuelled by misinformation of the events by Israel itself even though the chain of events or actions by the STG that led to the Israeli airstrikes was well documented.

Military mobilizations by the interim Damascus government toward the city of Kobani

Local sources reported military build-ups by factions affiliated with the interim government in the areas of Kharab Ishk and Jalbiya in the countryside of Kobani.

According to the information, the region has witnessed military movements and reinforcements over the past few hours.

Today, the factions known as “Al-Amshat and Al-Hamzat” returned to the town of Jalbiya after previously withdrawing under an earlier agreement, according to local sources.

The sources stated that the factions positioned themselves in the town’s school and began provocative movements toward the Kurdish community at the Jalbiya roundabout, amid rising tensions among local residents.

These developments come amid a tense atmosphere following provocations and unrest in various areas including Hasakah, Qamishli, Azaz, Aleppo, and Afrin during the Newroz celebrations,raising concerns about a potential escalation and a widening of tensions in the region.

The statement of the young man who took down the Syrian flag during the Nowruz(Newroz) celebrations in Kobani:

Regarding the incident of lowering the Syrian flag on Nowruz holiday

I did this after being influenced by watching videos of prisoners being tortured and the bodies of martyrs being mutilated.

I was deeply affected by the scenes of the Kurdish flag being torn down and the pictures of the martyrs being ripped apart.

I saw these scenes in several areas of northern Syria

I was moved by these scenes and I lowered the flag; no one incited me to do so.

I didn't know that this incident would cause strife (fitna) among the Syrian people.

No one incited me to do it; I did it of my own accord.

After that, I returned home and did not complete the celebration.
