Jiyan Tolhildan was a founding member of #YPJ. She battled against #ISIS in #Syria & averted the ISIS danger for us all around the world risking her own life. On 22 July when returning from a women’s conference, #Turkey killed her with her comrades Roj & Barîn in a drone strike.
Being an experienced commander of our Anti Terror Units she trained hundreds of women, militarily, as well as politically. She was a vanguard of women’s liberation who inspired women to fight for real democracy & gender equality.

This is why #Turkey targeted & killed her.

In 2022 #Turkey killed 8 of our #YPJ fighters in drone strikes.

➡️ These attacks are targeted assassinations of women who played a leading role in fighting #ISIS.

🧵 Why does Turkey target & kill women? (1/5)

1. Women hold communities together
➡️Attacking women is attacking communities

2. Women are organizing & fighting
➡️ Attacks are a punishment for not fitting patriarchal roles

3. Women lead the struggle against oppression & inspire others
➡️ Attacks aim to rob society of its vanguards (2/5)
#Turkey’s war against civilians is a war against women: In 🇹🇷 occupied areas women are getting abducted, tortured, raped & murdered.

Until today no steps have been taken to hold Turkey accountable for #femicide & war crimes.

Remember the 1000s of #ISIS members who surrendered themselves to our forces when we defeated their "caliphate"?

➡️ They are still here, waiting for an opportunity to revive.

If #Turkey starts a new invasion, our ability to secure the detention facilities will be jeopardised.

The Education Committee of the #AANES published a statement regarding #Turkey's UAV strike on a school, killing 4 & injured 11 girls.

"The school was assigned to underage girls who were excluded from YPJ & was (...) only 2 km away from the base of the International #Coalition."

On 29th of June 2019 #SDF commander @MazloumAbdi signed an #UnitedNations Action Plan to end & prevent the recruitment of children.

The school #Turkey was bombing 2 days ago was opened following this Action Plan. The 1st batch graduated on 19.1.22 with 51 students.
Yes, we defeated their caliphate, but #ISIS remains a threat.

ISIS activity includes:
➡️ active sleeper cells, especially in Deir ez-Zor province
➡️forcibly collecting money from people
➡️ intimidating people working for the Autonomous Administration
➡️ attacking #SDF forces

On 9th of August, the Under Secretary General of the #UN-Office of Counter-Terrorism (@UN_OCT) Vladimir Voronkov held a speech at the UN Security Council (#UNSC).

He said that #ISIS “and its affiliates also seek to inspire or direct attacks in non-conflict zones to incite fear.”
