On 19 July, we celebrated #10YearsROJAVA Revolution, in Rojava and around the world. 10 years ago, the people of Northeastern Syria took their fate into their own hands. Since then, an alternative to capitalist exploitation and consumer culture has been built under extremely difficult circumstances. In the face of the threat of ISIS and numerous Turkish invasion attempts, the resilience of the people and the strength of collective organizing, putting the means of defense in the hands of the people have proven that the revolution will be victorious. We congratulate the people of Northeastern Syria and salute those who have given their lives in defense of the revolution.
With Turkey again threatening to launch a major attack, many eyes were on the trilateral meeting in Tehran. Erdogan, Putin and Raisi were to discuss Syria and Erdogan planned to remove last obstacles and get the green light from Russia and Iran for his invasion plans.
Both Russia and Iran remained opposed to the Turkish plans. Regarding the US presence in Syria, more specifically east of the Euphrates, the three agreed: Erdogan accused US forces in Syria of supporting terrorists shortly after the meeting and called for a withdrawal of troops from the areas east of the Euphrates.. Furthermore Erdogan announced that the operation targeting the Regions around Minbic & Tel Rifaat would go ahead in any case, even if Russia did not open its airspace.

On 20 July, Turkish forces killed 8 Arab tourists in #Zaxo, Southern Kurdistan. Many more were wounded by artillery fire in the brutal attack. Shortly after, protests broke out in Baghdad against the Turkish war on Iraqi soil. Turkish forces were asked to leave Iraq and Turkish flags were burned. The Iraqi Interior Ministry issued a surprisingly strong condemnation of the attacks and the Turkish presence in the region. This has not been the case in similar incidents in the past. Turkish propaganda organs were quick to blame the PKK guerrillas for the attacks in order to protect themselves from the wrath of the Iraqi population. This narrative was quickly picked up by Turkish nationalists who spread it on social media, but the people protesting in Iraq were not fooled. Protests were announced for the coming days in various cities.

ROJAVA IS UNDER ATTACK
Deployment of Islamist & jihadist gangs, psychological warfare, targeted killings, terror: Turkey is using a wide range of military tools in Rojava to weaken the freedom movement, to demoralize & ultimately drive out the population.
Everyone must understand that while we call for preparations for #DayX, the start of another major Turkish offensive, the war in #Rojava continues. Day by day.
Since 2019, so called "low intensity warfare" has become Turkey's defining war strategy. The methods of "low intensity warfare" range from classical military attacks, the use of proxies, propaganda & economic warfare to terrorist attacks, targeted killings.
Despite the lack of media coverage, pressure must continue to be exerted on Turkey and its supporters.
Take a look at the brochure the International Red Help & RiseUp4Rojava published to understand the way Turkey is attacking and why we need to act.

Rojava is seeing the heaviest wave of attacks since 2019: After Erdogan was denied approval by Russia & Iran for large scale invasion plans the attacks along the occupied areas have intensified drastically. Tel-Rifaat, Shehba, Ain Issa & Til Temir are targeted with heavy artillery fire on a daily basis. Dozens of villages, farmlands and settlements were shelled with thousand of grenades. Among those injured and killed by the terror of the the Turkish state are children & the elderly.
On July 22nd the YPJ commander Jiyan Tolhildan was murdered on her way back from a women's conference celebrating ten years of women's revolution. Roj Xabûr and Barîn Botan were killed along with her. A Turkish drone strike hit the car the 3 women were driving in.
On July 28th a drone strike in Ain Issa killed 4 member of the internal security forces. Among the fallen: a mother of two.

At least 26 people have been killed by Turkish drone strikes on Rojava in 2022. 12 alone in July.
To thwart the attacks the Autonomous Administration Northeast Syria has launched a operation to capture agents of the Turkish intelligence agency (MIT) who deliver the information for the drone strikes.
Footage from Southern Kurdistan published by the Turkish foreign ministry show Turkish soldiers inserting tubes into cave entrances. The fascist Turkish state is not even hiding the usage of chemical weapons anymore, but still no reaction from the global public.
The global left, anti-war movements, socialists, feminists & antifascists should treat the situation as what it is: A war on the revolutionary project & the people of Rojava and in all parts of Kurdistan. Turkey is waging war on the people, committing war crimes, terrorizing civilians and killing the vanguards of this Revolution. NATO & the West are accomplices in this dirty war against the people of the middle East. Yet the supporters of Turkish fascism are right in front of us: Arms manufacturers, banks, the tourism sector & the governments of the West.
We need to take action, take the streets, create awareness, force the media to report on what’s going on and show that we don’t say silent in face of Fascism!

Do you ask yourself what you can do in face of Turkish attacks in Rojava / Northeastern Syria ?
Here are some proposals for you:
📢Demonstrations: Connect locally to organize demonstrations. The Rojava Revolution brought together many struggles: Contact local democratic, feminist & migrant organizations, anti-fascist groups, unions & syndicats for support. Our strength lies in our diversity!
Prepare speeches that give examples of practical things that can be done and invite to events like:
▪️"How to write to politicians" workshops
▪️Lectures on situation in Northern Syria/Rojava, the revolution and its achievements
▪️Information events on arms dealers exporting to Turkey
▪️Occupations and Blockades
Demonstrations are great for mobilizing large groups of people for blockades or occupations.
⚡️Actions: Block, Disturb, Occupy. Plan actions and motivate to participate !
Take your anger to:
📍Turkish embassies
📍political supporters of Turkish Fascism
📍arms industry
📍public places like train stations, city halls, newsstations & airports
📸 Media: Creating media attention is key: Contact media, journalists, influencial people on Social media and call on them to report on the current situation. #YourSilenceKills
🤫One of the goals of Turkey's strategy, a so called "low intensity warfare" is to prevent public attention.
Read and share the brochure "How to recognize a war when you see one" to understand how Turkey is terrorizing the people of Northeastern Syria.
🌐Political and public pressure: Turkey relies on foreign cooperation and military supplies. Contact politicians, newspapers and public figures to create pressure and put topics like weapons embargo & boycott on the agenda

Don’t remain passive in this time of great danger for the people of Northern Syria and prepare to take action.

A Story of Resistance: In this documentary, created by internationalist young women in Rojava, the story of the heroic resistance in Afrîn and Aleppo is told by those who were on the front lines fighting with their people for the freedom of their people.
Revolutionary People's War describes the strategy where all parts of society, all ages, genders and ethnicities become part of the resistance against colonialism, genocide and fascism. In Afrin and Aleppo, the sheer power that a united society unleashes in resistance was demonstrated:
When the population and its defense forces became one, they were able to withstand an invading army armed to the teeth. In Afrin, the army of the fascist Turkish state and its Islamist mercenaries were prevented from taking the region for 58 days. Despite air support and a huge arsenal of technical tools, the enemy forces failed to break the resistance. In Aleppo, Kurdish and Arab residents of the Şex Meqsûd neighborhood defended themselves against the regime as well as Islamist gangs and are still holding the ground today.
