Statement of the General Command of YPJ
"It must be clearly understood that the threats directed against Shengal are not merely attacks on a particular geographical area; they are a direct assault on the political and social existence and authentic identity of the Kurdish people as a whole. The only genuine guarantee for protecting our Yazidi community lies in strengthening the system of democratic self-administration and securing official recognition of their political and cultural rights. Protecting Shengal’s resistance and its free will means safeguarding the common essence and future of all free peoples."

Statement regarding the ongoing discussions
Within the framework of the 29 January 2026 Agreement, our negotiations, as the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), with Damascus are continuing.
In April, we held a meeting with Minister of Defense Murhaf Abu Qasra, during which we also submitted a written draft outlining our vision and proposals.
To this day, we have not been informed of any official proposal or decision by the authorities in Damascus.
There are proposals for the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) to join the Ministry of Interior as an independent force dedicated to combating terrorism. However, no final decision has yet been reached on this matter.
In the coming days, meetings will be held between us and officials in Damascus to discuss this issue.
Our struggle and activities will continue until the legacy of the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) is placed under legal protection and guarantee.

At the beginning of 2026, during the heroic resistance of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh, many women and men gave their lives for the safety and freedom of the people and felt martyr. A few days ago, the identities of eight fallen fighters of the Internals Security forces (Asayish), who fell martyr during this resistance, were announced. They were laid to rest in different places across Rojava. We remember them and their resistance with great respect.

YPJ fighters Losîn speaks about her participation, saying:
Joining was not difficult for her, as she comes from a patriotic family.
Since childhood, she had been influenced by strong, independent, and self-confident women. Seeing women take responsibility in social life, defend their rights, and move forward with hope created a new sense of purpose in her heart.
In particular, her friends, who supported one another, became a source of strength and self-confidence for her. She wanted to define herself as a woman, to have her own voice, and to demonstrate her role in society. Influenced by these experiences, she decided to join a path where women can prove themselves through action and conviction.
