❤️💛💚 Greetings to the historic resistance of the Tishreen dam on the walls of Bienne in Switzerland

Because everyone should know that for almost 2 months, thousands of people of northern and eastern Syria have been taking turns defying Turkey's attacks by their presence on the dam. The names of the 24 civilians who sacrificed their lives in this action to protect their region and their people, in which over 200 people were injured, should be written on every wall.
This action is of critical importance in defending the gains of the Rojava revolution. It must be supported by all forces fighting against capitalism and fascism around the world.

🔥At a time when despair fills more and more hearts, all those who struggle should be able to feel the strength, determination and fighting spirit that emanates from Tishreen's resistance.

Several months after the fall of the Ba'ath regime, and the joy of the Syrian people who revolted against this regime and its oppressive practices, the so-called "Constitutional Declaration" was issued today in Damascus. This declaration includes provisions and a traditional style similar to the standards and criteria followed by the Ba'ath government.

This measure once again contradicts the reality of Syria and its diversity. It also effectively falsifies Syria's national and societal identity, as this declaration lacks the imprint and spirit of Syria's people and its various components, from Kurds to Arabs, as well as Syriacs, Assyrians, and other Syrian national components.

We, in the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, affirm that Syria today needs the solidarity and unity of its people to determine their democratic future and Syrian national participation, which strengthens partnership in the homeland.

We also affirm that this declaration lacks the standards of Syrian national diversity and lacks the actual participation of Syria's national components. Therefore, this declaration once again expresses the "individualistic mentality," which is an extension of the previous state that existed in Syria and against which the people rose up.

This declaration does not represent the aspirations of our people, nor does it recognize the true nature of their authentic identity in Syria. It is merely a form and framework that undermines efforts to achieve true democracy in Syria, and its provisions are far removed from Syria and the hopes of its people. The true constitution is one that all components share and agree upon, as it is the sustainable democratic path for the future of Syria and the future of its coming generations. We hope that some narrow practices and ideas will not return us to square one, as that will only make the Syrian wound bleed again.

SDF PRESS: Ongoing Escalation of Turkish Occupation Attacks and Strong Retaliatory Operations by Our Forces on Tishreen Dam and Qara Qwzaq Fronts

The Turkish occupation and its mercenaries are intensifying their daily attacks on north and eastern Syria, yet they have made no significant progress due to the steadfast resistance of our fighters.

Yesterday on the Tishreen Dam front, Turkish occupation warplanes carried out multiple airstrikes targeting the dam’s vicinity, including workers’ housing. Heavy Turkish artillery fire also struck villages in the southeastern countryside of Manbij, causing extensive material damage to civilian homes. Additionally, one of our positions was targeted, resulting in minor injuries to one of our fighters.
As the occupation’s mercenaries were preparing to launch an attack on our positions, our Martyr Haroun Units conducted an operation against them, eliminating two mercenaries and destroying an ammunition depot and a military vehicle belonging to the mercenaries. Severe damage was inflicted to the mercenaries’ position.
In addition, our Martyr Haroun Units successfully intercepted and destroyed a suicide drone as it attempted to attack our positions.

On the Qara Qwzaq front, Turkish occupation warplanes launched several airstrikes on the village of Ghasq and a fuel station near the Serrin town junction. These strikes were accompanied by intense shelling from artillery, tanks, rocket launchers, and mortars, targeting the villages of al-Tina, Ja’dah, Bir Hisso, Ghasq, Dekan, Melha, and al-Sana’, as well as the Sayfi Hill and Qara Qwzaq Hill near the bridge. More than 180 shells indiscriminately struck these areas, causing significant destruction to homes and civilian properties.

"In response to these attacks, our fighters carried out an operation targeting the bases and fortifications of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries in the western countryside near the Qara Qwzaq bridge. One mercenary was confirmed eliminated, and two others were wounded.

In Kobani, Turkish occupation warplanes launched two airstrikes on Mount Barkal, southeast of the city, alongside heavy artillery shelling, resulting in material damage. Turkish warplanes and UCAVs continued to hover over the city and its surrounding areas throughout the day.

Additionally, Turkish occupation warplanes and UCAVs remained active over the town of Ain Issa and its surrounding areas.

The total confirmed casualties among the mercenaries include three eliminated and two wounded. Furthermore, a suicide drone and a military vehicle were successfully destroyed."
