Dear Friends, we are launching our campaign!

We are the Drones for Rojava team, a group of independent and dedicated youth committed to supporting the defense efforts in Rojava. In light of the critical challenges our forces are facing and the ongoing war, we have launched this campaign to address urgent needs. Throughout history, in similar struggles around the world, communities have rallied to support their defense forces, contributing in meaningful ways to ensure their success.

Recent technological advancements by the SDF in countering occupation attacks have demonstrated the power and effectiveness of affordable technology, even in a region as besieged as Rojava. The introduction of FPV drones on the battlefield has proven to be highly impactful. Now, we invite you to join us in supporting and advancing these efforts.

Funds raised through this campaign will be used to procure essential components, such as:

⁃ DJI Mavic drones
⁃ FPV drone frames
⁃ 3D printers
⁃ Servo motors, ESCs, FLIR cameras, flight control units, GPS modules, telemetry devices and so on

These items, commonly used by hobbyists, are entirely legal and readily available.

🎬 NEW VIDEO: What is Revolutionary People's War? - perspectives from a Kurdish revolutionary 🌹

We, Rise Up 4 Rojava, share our in depth interview with Harûn Apoyî a friend from Rojava who joined the Kurdish Freedom Movement in the early 2000s and saw the revolution in Rojava from the start.

The people of North and East Syria are organising themselves with the ideology of the Kurdish Freedom Movement and the strategy of Revolutionary People's War. A strategy for all societies to defend themselves against capitalism.

A letter from an Internationalist in Rojava:

Dear friends,
I send you warmest greetings from Rojava.

I am sure that all of you have been following the current events for days, so I don't want to bore you with the same analyses and calls that you all already know anyway. The situation is serious, that's for sure. What is currently brewing in Syria is not really foreseeable, and the consequences for the revolution in Rojava, indeed for the whole Middle East, are difficult to predict.

What is clear is that the revolution must be defended, as it has been in many phases of the war before. To this end, people here are taking up arms, entrenched in their neighborhoods in Aleppo, reinforcing their front sections, organizing supply lines, and taking care of the evacuation and accommodation of hundreds of thousands of refugees.
Already, areas such as Shehba and Tel Rifaat have been lost, where many people had been waiting for years to return to the liberated Afrîn. This hope now seems even more remote. Who among us can imagine what it means to lose everything for the second time, ten thousand times over, and to have barely escaped with your life again? Those who could not or did not want to flee are now at the mercy of the gangs of murderers. You can guess what that means: slowly, news is coming out that is reminiscent of the horror stories from the time of the Islamic State: civilians beheaded, women abducted, Yazidi families murdered. That it could come to this at all is mainly due to the fascist regime of Turkey, which, in addition to drones and fighter jets, is now also sending tens of thousands of Islamist mercenaries against the achievements of the revolution.

It is also clear that we must fight against this together. To this end, the revolutionary youth organizations in North-East Syria are volunteering for military service and to this end we, as internationalists, are taking to the streets worldwide. We organize actions as a sign of solidarity, we demonstrate, we collect money, we educate people about what is happening in Syria, and that is important.
Many of you may not know this, but every little stir of resistance in Europe shows the people of Rojava that they are not alone, that maybe the governments of this world abandon and betray them, but not the people.

But, and I don't know about you, sometimes I wondered: is that enough? We demonstrate, again and again, and that's important, I know, but is that really all we have to counter the suffering and terror in the world? Sometimes the mood is euphoric, sometimes depressed in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. We must not be discouraged by this, because that too is something we can learn from the revolution in Rojava: to keep going despite all the difficulties.

In Europe, too, we need strong revolutionary organizations that are able to intervene in history at the right moment, instead of just letting it happen. Only in this way can we fight in the future to defend this and all future revolutions with our own strength.

When you go home today, you should tell yourselves: the world as it is must not remain. Everything must change; anything less would be madness, and we should do everything in our power to make that happen. We cannot do it alone, but need the strength that we can only give each other.
A Kurdish comrade said to me: revolution is planting flowers on a floor of stone. We must succeed in nothing less.

Love and strength to all our fighting friends!

Şehîd Ronahî Yekta group

Our gobal action weeks as Women Defend Rojava start next week! We are looking forward to a whole month of actions and strengthening our connections all around the globe!

For Evîn, Mîr, and Abdurrahman, we demand Truth and Justice!

On January 9, 2013 Sakine Cansiz, Fidan Dogan, and Leyla Saylemez were assassinated by an MİT agent (Turkish secret services). Nearly ten years later, on 23 December 2022, Evîn Goyî, Mîr Perwer, and Abdurrahman Kizil were assassinated at the Ahmet Kaya Kurdish Cultural Center.

We invite all political, trade union and allied forces who recognize themselves in our call to mobilise on January 11, 2025, in Paris to join us in forming an internationalist bloc during the demonstration for the six Kurdish comrades assassinated in Paris.

For all, we proclaim: “Long live the resistance of the Kurdish people, the Palestinian people, and all the oppressed!”

🔴 HAPPENING NOW - Hundreds of civillians drive to the Tishrin dam to stop the bombings

This week, Turkey began airstrikes with warplanes on the Tishrin dam. The dam could collapse. Today hundreds of people are driving to Tishrin to protest the attacks and protect the dam.

➡️ Background: The Tishrin Dam is one of the key targets in current attacks. The Turkish backed SNA forces have attacked the dam continuously for weeks but the SDF have never let it fall into their hands. In the past days Turkey has started bombing the dam with warplanes. This is an escalation, until now Turkey was mostly supporting the SNA with drones.

➡️ Today's protest: Yesterday the Autonomous Administration called a protest at Tishin to protect the dam. From Hasaka alone hundreds of people are now driving to Tishrin.

Stay alert! Follow SDF Press for live updates on the situation
