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!

🔴 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

#BREAKING: The people have reached the dam!
Despite air strikes and artillery shelling the people that joined the convoy to protest the attacks on the Tishrin damn have reached the dam are now on the dam.
The Turkish state again has comitted war crimes by targeting a civilian protest. This needs to trigger a serious reaction from the international public and the allies of the Revolution in Rojava!

The peoples of North-East Syria resist side by side with the SDF against Turkey's occupation. What are the main front lines?
For more already a month, the Turkish occupation and its mercenary groups have been pursuing the occupation of the Tishrin Dam and the Qaraqozaq Bridge. However, the Syrian Democratic Forces fighters are standing as a barrier against them and preventing the invasion from advancing.
Today, 8th of January, hundreds of people from all over the region went to the Tishrin water dam to stand side by side with the SDF. Despite Turkey attacking civilians, the resistance remain unbroken.

THE SPIRIT OF RESISTANCE AT THE TISHREEN DAM WILL BE THE SPIRIT OF THE INTERNATIONALIST COMMUNITY!
➡️ Today thousands of cars from all North-East Syria gathered in a convoy to reach the Tishreen Dam and make a human shield action in support of the SDF.
💥 The convoy, composed by families, journalists, institutions, civilians and youth was deliberately attacked by the fascist Turkish State through genocidal airstrikes.
✌️ The people in Rojava are decisive in their resistance. The resistance that is happening today is showing what Revolutionary People‘s War is!

💥THE HISTORIC RESISTANCE AT TISHRIN CONTINUES 💥
Today hundreds of people drove and walked through Turkish bombs to reach Tishrin dam. Over 15 people were killed or injured but the people continued and hold watch at the dam tonight.
In the past few days we've seen the first airstrikes from Turkish warplanes on the Tishrin dam. This shows how weak the position of the SNA is, as they need more air support from Turkey, but also increases the massive threat of the Tishrin dam collapsing.
The situation is serious. The people are taking huge risks to stop the attacks and, as their friends, we must do the same.

💢Turkish state continues to bomb Tishrin💢
Yesterday, 8 January, people travelled to Tishrin to protest against the attacks from SNA/Turkey and to protect the dam from Turkey's bombs. Turkey bombed the convoy and 3 friends were martyred and 15 injured. The friends continued and thousands of people arrived at the dam. Turkey's attacks were defeated with the Revolutionary People's War.
Tishrin has been constantly bombed for a month, leaving no opportunity to make repairs, and now the Autonomous Administration has confirmed the dam is damaged will collapse if Turkey continues its attacks. If the dam collapses 2 billion m³ of water will flood massive areas of land. It will destroy land, houses, and lives.
We stand with our friends in Tishrin. Together we will stop the war and protect Tishrin!
Biji berxwedana bendava Tişrîn!
