Interview with Mustafa Karasu: "The PKK is a turning point in Kurdish history"
Interview with Mustafa Karasu, founding member of the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party) on the anniversary of the PKK’s founding:
☀️"This struggle has grown over not just six months, but over four or five generations. Almost everyone in Kurdistan today has grown up witnessing this struggle and becoming familiar with the values it has created.
🔥 "A new culture has been created, a new culture of struggle has emerged."
🌱 "Women, who created the first society and created humanity, have been subjected to tremendous pressure in the Middle East, and the women who created Middle Eastern society have been relegated to a very backward position. But today, in line with Rêber Apo's ideas, Kurdish women have become the most free-thinking women not only in the Middle East but in the world."

🔥Heval Cemal (Murat Karayilan) on the anniversary of the founding of the PKK:
"Before us already socialist leaders and movements, were talking about women’s rights and the equality of women and men. This sentences were used. But Rêber Apo’s approach was more foundational. Rêber Apo said: the earliest class that had been enslaved was the women. First the Women was oppressed and until Women aren’t free society will not be free. Because of this first a women’s revolution is necessary."

🔥MESSAGE FROM ÖCALAN TO AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN ISTANBUL
"I address you today from İmralı Island under the conditions of isolation of 26 years, at a moment when a new dialogue with the state over the Kurdish question in search for peace and a democratic society has resumed again. To address you, at the International Conference on Peace and Democratic Society, on the path of rebuilding socialism, is both meaningful and significant. [...]
The PKK has fulfilled its historical mission by securing the national existence of the Kurdish people, while also exposing the limitations of nation-state socialism. Twentieth-century socialism emerged as a negative revolutionary intervention, yet failed to present a lasting alternative.
Despite enormous sacrifices, this struggle has become a legacy enriched through both theoretical and practical critique. To honor and to own this legacy properly requires transforming socialism from a mere memory to a living social force beating at the heart of the people.
The socialist tradition in history must be understood as a legacy aimed at building both peace and democratic society, and the path forward lies in fulfilling internationalist responsibilities—in theory and in practice."

Documentary about People's Resistance in Kobanê: Life in War
🔸 Following Assad's fall in December 2024, the Turkish state and its mercenaries intensified its attacks on the autonomous administration of north-eastern Syria.
🔸The situation was uncertain, but the people were prepared for anything. This was particularly evident in Kobanê, where the Tishreen Dam had been attacked, leaving the city without a water and electricity supply for several months.
🔸This documentary reflects on the situation and the people's resistance, led particularly by women, young people, and the people's self-administered structures. With fewer opportunities, but with a collective spirit, the people employed the strategy of a Revolutionary People's War.

❗️HTS Attacks self administrated neighborhoods Sheikh Maqsoud & Ashrafieh
This afternoon HTS started to attack the self administrated neighborhoods Sheikh Maqsoud & Ashrafieh in Aleppo with tanks and artillery. Despite all attempts to infiltrate the neighborhoods were thwarted first reports of wounded and killed civilians arrive. This is another attempt to force the SDF into an agreement on HTS’s terms. Taking into consideration todays visit of the Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, the Turkish minister of Defence and the head of the Turkish intelligence agency MIT in Damascus it becomes clear that the Turkish state is orchestrating the recent escalation.
The people of Aleppo as well as all over Rojava are right now on the streets, showing their support and proclaiming the vision of a democratic Syria. The people of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh will defend their neighbourhoods but also we need to show that we stand with the Revolution and break the silence.
Bijî Berxwedana Sheikh Maqsoud & Ashrafieh!

URGENT: Self-administrated neighborhoods of Aleppo under attack
Since yesterday the neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsud and Ashrafiye were taken under artillery fire and attacked by “suicide drones” again. Until now 7 civilians were martyred while dozens are wounded seriously. The attacks are continuing right now.
The attacking jihadist groups were formally integrated into the Syrian Army but continue to operate inofficially under the command of the Turkish secret service (MIT). While they were fighting for Turkey in the last years, occupying the Afrin region, the groups al-Amshat, Hamza Division, Esiftil-Şemal and Nour al-Din al-Zenki commited numerous crimes of war.
The Turkish state tries to sabotage the ongoing negotiations by provocating a war in Syria
We greet the resistance of the people in Aleppo and call on our allies to raise awareness for this dangerous escalation.
Berxwedan jiyan e!

⚡️Aleppo-Update: Threat of Ethnic Cleansing & People’s Resistance
The so-called Syrian Arab Army (controlled by HTS) has declared Ashrafiye & Sheikh Maqsoud military zones & issued an ultimatum to the population to leave the besieged districts by 3 p.m. through one of two designated corridors.
This is a call to carry out ethnic cleansing: Anyone remaining is considered “SDF” and therefore a legitimate target.
It is important to note that the SDF withdrew from these districts in accordance with the April 1 agreement with the Syrian Transitional Government (STG). The STG, however, has repeatedly violated the agreement and attacked these districts.
Fighting continues, initial tank-supported attempts to breach the neighborhoods have been repelled.
Demonstrations in support of the resistance in Aleppo have taken place in many cities in NES. The morale of the youth defending the neighborhoods is high, and as SDF Commander Sîpan Hemo said, Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiye are "unbreakable fortresses of resistance"

🔥 RESISTANCE IS LIFE in Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyah🔥
History will remember that two neighbourhoods fought against two hegemonic states.
⭐️ Rêber Apo states that ‘Hope is more valuable than victory’. The Kurdistan Liberation Movement is a movement of hope. Because whatever is the outcome of an action, we will continue to have faith in the future and to put effort into every step.
⭐️ The resistance of Aleppo was a resistance that protected the dignity of the people and will go in the history of Revolutionary People’s War, that will enlighten our way to struggle even harder in the future.
