ROJAVA UNDER ATTACK AND SIEGE … – Let us defend the achievements of the Kurdish people in Rojava!
(Translated by free deepl.com)
In early January 2026, the government in Damascus, supported by the fascist Turkish state and recognised by the imperialist world as the legitimate government of post-Assad Syria, launched an offensive against the SDG (Syrian Democratic Forces) in Aleppo. The reason given for this was that the deadline for the implementation of the agreement of 10 March 2025 between HTS and SDG had expired and the agreement had not been complied with.
With a large force, it attacked the districts of Eşrefiyê and Şêxmeqsûd, where the Kurdish population is concentrated, and dissolved the local administration in these districts. These districts were placed under the control of the central government. However, the attacks on areas with a strong Kurdish population were not limited to this. The preliminary agreements concluded between HTS and SDG were broken by HTS. The attacks on Kurdish areas continued. Aleppo, Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor and the oil fields were also occupied by the central government. On 18 January 2026, the press reported on a new ceasefire agreement. Although the SDF withdrew east of the Euphrates, the Syrian army's attacks did not stop. In order to protect the civilian population, SDF forces had to retreat to two separate areas, Kobanê and Haseke/Qamishlo.
The SDG forces encircled in these areas were given a short deadline to comply with the new agreement. The SDG forces, which the US openly sold out with the statement, ‘We no longer need you, we will conduct our business in Syria through the Syrian government and the government of Shara,’ are now faced with the threat of annihilation and certain small concessions and are being forced to join the Syrian government.
The HTS attacks on Rojava and the Kurds continue with the support of the colonialist Turkish state. The imperialists have sold out the Kurds once again.
The HTS attacks on Rojava and the Kurds continue with the support of the colonialist Turkish state. The imperialists have once again sold out the Kurds and sided with Ahmed el-Shara. In the new division among the imperialists, the fascist Turkish state has secured a place among the playmakers in Syria at the table of wolves in the Middle East. In the new division among the imperialists, the fascist Turkish state has secured a place among the decision-makers in Syria at the table of wolves in the Middle East. The goal of the colonialist Turkish state is to end the autonomous government led by the PYD in Rojava. The aim is to have maximum say in the new structure that will emerge in Syria.
Defending the autonomous administration in Rojava is a duty
In view of the attacks by the fascist Turkish state and the Syrian government on Rojava, it is the duty of every revolutionary and democratic person to defend the autonomous democratic administration in Rojava and to protect it from attacks wherever we are.
While defending the autonomous democratic structure in Rojava, it is also our duty to be aware that the imperialists are not our friends. It is our duty to remind ourselves of this fact again and again and to spread the word.
The peoples are to be incited against each other and played off against each other ‘in the name of the fight against terrorism’.
Let us not fall for this game! Let us put a stop to the occupation of Rojava and the planned war! The war against Rojava is a war against the Kurdish people and, at the same time, a war against the peoples of all nationalities. Turkish workers and labourers have the greatest responsibility to put a stop to this unjust colonial war.
Anyone who does not say NO to this war is complicit in it. In this war, Turkish workers and labourers must stand on the side of those fighting for the freedom and autonomy of Rojava.
The defence of Rojava, which is currently on the agenda, and resistance to the war against the Kurdish people are the urgent tasks of the day.
Let us intensify the struggle against the real enemy, against the fascist Turkish state and against the imperialist powers!
The peoples of Syria must decide for themselves how they want to live.
The real solution for the peoples of Syria is a democratic Syria in which all nations have the right to self-determination and all nationalities live side by side with equal rights.
A world in which peoples are not hostile to each other, in which there is no chauvinism and no nationalism, in which peoples live and govern themselves on the basis of equal rights and in freedom, is possible.
No to wars of occupation, chauvinism, racism and nationalism!
Long live proletarian internationalism!
The only way to achieve brotherhood among peoples is through revolution!
No to the intervention of imperialist and reactionary forces in Syria!
