"Solidarity is our weapon – we are Tishreen!" Graffiti at the Reitschule in Bern

For the past month, the people of Rojava have been collectively defending the crucial Tişrîn Dam. Despite daily Turkish attacks on civilians and SDF forces, the community stands firmly behind the SDF and the dam. As Kongra Star member Jiyan Hisên says, “Our people are making history again by defending their land, water, soil, and very existence.”

This resistance is backed by all segments of society across the autonomous regions of northern and eastern Syria. Kurds, Arabs, Syrians, and Armenians stand united at the dam, shielding it from further Turkish shelling. Without them, the region would face severe water shortages, major power outages, dangerous flooding, and a looming disaster.

In 31 days of resistance, Turkey has killed 41 people and injured around 250 people.

The historic defense of Tişrîn Dam shows the world we see these war crimes and stand in solidarity with the popular resistance and the SDF.
