⚽️ For weeks, Rojava has been suffering from severe attacks by the fascist Turkish state. We urgently need international attention & so we called on football supporters to show their solidarity in the stands. Last weekend, fans took a stand!
Since July 19th Turkey has launched the biggest wave of attacks since its invasion in Serekaniye in 2019 and is threatening the lives of hundred thousands. Daily artillery shelling and targeted killings by drone strikes have spread to almost every region in Northeastern Syria.
We hope that many will follow the example of the football fans to use what ever tools they have to spread awareness on whats going on, to protest, to block and occupy the places of support for Turkish fascism everywhere.

International Red Help and #Riseup4Rojava published a revised & updated edition of the brochure on Turkey’s “Low intensity” war against the liberated areas of #Rojava, Shengal and Qandil.
How to recognize a war when you see one:
"The form of low-intensity warfare currently being waged by Turkey in 4 parts of #Kurdistan is a deadly threat. And this particular form of war is quite appropriate from Turkish point of view, it "normalizes" the state of war & makes a broad movement of solidarity difficult
Let's be clear: not only is the low-intensity war a real war, but it’s a war that threatens the very existence of the Rojava revolution. This study aims to bring awareness to this. It is up to us, shoulder to shoulder with our comrades in Rojava & Qandil, to act accordingly."
The brochure is available in different languages on our website ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Attacks on Shengal
Shengal saw again massive drone surveillance in the last weeks. On Aug 29th a drone struck a car close to Xanesor. Turkish terror & pressure from the Iraqi government are intended to make the Yezidis leave their homeland. A downright propaganda campaign conveys the image that Shengal is lost, will again become a target of terrorism and that it is easy to go to Europe. This is accompanied by advertising for human smugglers. The reason for all this is that since the liberation from ISIS, the Yezidis have been self-governing and have built up their own self-defense forces. They vehemently refuse to be subjugated by the very forces that left them defenseless to ISIS in 2014.

Makhmur
Shortly before the attack on Shengal, the father of 6 children was killed by a Turkish drone. This renewed brutal attack on civilians, residents of a refugee camp, sparked angry protests that were met with the firing of live ammunition by Iraqi security forces stationed nearby. The Makhmur camp is a frequent target of Turkish aggression and, with its nearly 30 years of socialist self-government, is a thorn in the side of the region's powers.
In Rojava the attacks by the Turkish state continued on various levels. Repeatedly villages in the regions of Shehba, Ain Issa and on the Til Temir frontline were targeted with artillery.

YPJ Retalliation
According to the ANF news agency, five Turkish soldiers were killed in an action by YPJ forces in retaliation for the killing of four girls at a United Nations-funded education center for young girls in Heseke. The attack took place near the village of Kefîfa (Ain Issa province) and was carried out with rockets fired at the Turkish base.
Anti ISIS operations
For the past 10 days, security forces in the region have been conducting an operation against ISIS sleeper cells in AL-Hol camp. The camp is home to about 50,000 former ISIS fighters and their families. The organization is still active in the camp, recruiting, indoctrinating children and killing deviants.
During the operation, more than 100 suspected terrorists were arrested, numerous tunnels and hideouts were uncovered, and ammunition and larger amounts of explosives were seized. The outcomings so far prove the fact that ISIS is still a threat. On August 3, the Women's Protection Units (YPJ) succeeded in freeing an 18-year-old Yazidi woman who was among the thousands of Yazidi girls and women kidnapped by ISIS during its attack on the Yazidi religious minority in the Shingal region on August 3, 2014.
