Recap: 3 week of attacks/ ceasefire ends tonight
A short recap - since 30.11.2014 Turkish proxy army SNA and the Turkish state are attacking AANES. They began their attacks in Til Refaat and generally Shehba canton. To prevent a massacre against their people, the People's Council decided on 1.12.2024 to leave. Since then 120.000 people have fled the region. Still many report of war crimes and human rights violations exists and the whereabouts of around 15.000 people remains unclear.
SNA continued their offensive against Manbij canton. After some days of heavy fighting and despite defeating attacks by SNA, SDF on December 10. decided to agree to a ceasefire on the basis that all military forces withdraw from the region. Despite an agreement, SNA forces remained in Manbij and reports of war crimes and human rights violations have since emerged. Currently a ceasefire is in place until tonight, under U.S. mediation as U.S. forces are also patrolling Kobane region.

The dedication and will of the people to defend their homeland, their soil, their roots is truly remarkable and remains the backbone of the revolution in North-East Syria and in Kurdistan.
As more and more people join the call for general mobilisation, here one example from Eydanî village by Kobane:
"Today is the day that the revolutionary people's war begins. In [our] village everyone is prepared, and all villages are prepared and whatever will happen, if the war begins today, we are all ready. We stand on the side of SDF, YPG and YPJ. All people of Kobani are ready." ✌️

The Syrian Women's Assembly published a declaration regarding the current situation:
Declaration of Syrian Women's Assembly
As women living in Syria, we have lived for many years under the Baath regime's nationalist and unilateralist policies that do not recognize the will of women. The peoples of Syria, who rose up against the cruel regime in 2011, have faced war, migration, occupation and ISIS persecution in the 13 years that followed. Women have suffered the most in this period.
We have struggled against the Baath regime, as well as against ISIS, and against all forms of oppression and enslavement. We have paid a high price, but we have not lost our hope to live in a free and democratic Syria. As women from all ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds in Syria, we established the Syrian Women's Assembly with the determination to build a free future for all Syrian people. Now, more than ever, we have a strong will and determination to play a more effective leadership role in this process.

Efforts to build a new order in Syria after the fall of the Baath regime continue. However, this process must recognize the will of women, a fair and equal representation of women must be ensured. Because women make up more than half of Syrian society. Only with equal participation of women and all the different religious, cultural and ethnic groups in Syria, we can build the democratic, just and secure country, we are longing for.
During these 13 years, women in North and East Syria have struggled and organized themselves in all areas of life and achieved important gains. They have gained important expertise in politics, economy, self-defense, justice and many other fields. It is time that all Syrian women can benefit from the achievements of the women in this region. These achievements have been gained with great sacrifices and great costs, so it is crucial to defend them. One of the most important conditions in the legitimation at the regional and international level of the new system that will be established in Syria, is that the role of women in establishing and administrating the new system in Syria, is guaranteed.
The fall of the Assad regime was a positive development. However, unfortunately the crimes against women in Idlib, Afrin, Jarablus, al-Bab, Serekani and Gire Spi - like killing, abduction and deprivation of basic rights - continue. In these places, and now as well in Minbij, Turkish-backed armed groups continue to commit crimes and continue their occupation.
Today, as we celebrate the fall of the Ba'ath regime, we also witness an alarming increase in violence against women and religious and ethnic minorities—particularly Christians, Alawites, and Druze—in coastal and southern regions. Furthermore, attacks on North and East Syria and heinous crimes, such as the brutal killings and beheading of women, as occurred in Tal Rifaat, by armed factions supported by Turkey, continue. Therefore, in order to prevent these violations and to end the fear and danger our peoples are facing, we call on all political forces in Syria to work toward achieving the following objectives:
1. Syrian people must determine the future of Syria.
2. The fulfillment of the requirements of international norms and peace agreements; an end to war and conflicts in our region; therefore, a closure of Syrian airspace to military activities; the cessation of all attacks on Syrian territory, and the withdrawal of all occupying armies.
3. The immediate release of all women still held captive in the prisons of armed groups in Idlib, Afrin, Jarabulus, al-Bab, Gire Spî (Tal Abyad) and Serekaniye (Ras al-Ain).
4. The establishment of a committee with the active participation of women to ensure the safe return of displaced Syrian refugees and an end to the occupation of Syrian territory.
5. The ensuring of fair representation of women and women's organizations from all parts of Syria in the construction of a democratic Syria and in the new Constitutional Committee.
6. The implementation of the UN Security Council Resolution 1325; the taking of measures to guarantee women's participation in peace processes; measures to prevent conflict and measures to prevent violence against women during and after conflicts; the effective participation of women in the decision-making, implementation and accountability processes in taking these measures.
7. The establishing of a truth and justice commission to investigate and prosecute all war crimes and crimes against women and human rights.
8. Ensuring women's equal and free participation in all decision-making mechanisms and in the fields of politics, education, science and economy.
9. Legal recognition of women's right to self-defense.
10. Full implementation and guarantee of the human rights proclaimed in international conventions such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). A guarantee of women's fundamental rights and social rights.

1/3 - A thread on woman imprisoned under SNA-militias
The Syrian Women’s Council today issued declaration for Syria's future. One of their objectives is:
📌“The immediate release of all women still held captive in the prisons of armed groups".
As prisons in most of Syria are being opened, those in the areas under occupation by Turkish proxy forces - such as Afrin, Azas, Jarabulus, al-Bab, Serekaniye, Gire Spi - remain closed.
Woman, especially Kurdish women, continue to be forcefully abducted by Turkish militias and disappeared into these prisons from which reports have emerged that torture and sexual violence including rape is common in these prisons.

2/3 - Women imprisoned under SNA-militias
Only last week it was reported that militias in Manbij abducted Kurdish Red Crescent worker Melek Qasim.
She has been, like many others, "accused of working with the AANES”. Sometimes, families are blackmailed into paying 2.000-10.000 US$ for their release, which then does not happen.
As the militias work under impunity, the number of detainees is unclear, as is their fate. This is a report from a woman who was in Hawar Kilis prison in Azaz and later in Afrin prison: “L.A” faced relentless sexual torture for two years but refrained from sharing explicit details, stating only, “The sexual torture continued throughout my imprisonment.” She described horrifying methods such as gathering male and female detainees in a single interrogation room, where women were humiliated in front of men to force confessions. On some occasions, rape occurred in that room."

3/3 - women imprisoned under SNA militias
The Suleiman Shah Divison and the Hamza Division have been implicated in running these prisons. They are part of the Turkish-backed SNA. In 2023 the U.S. decided to sanction these two militias for war crimes such as murder and rape.
Their leaders, Mohammad al-Jasim & Sayf Boulad Abu Bakr were posing some days ago with al-Jolani in Damascus as they are now part of the military arm of the official Syrian Interim Govt.
The women of NE Syria have sacrificed a lot to establish women's units in order to protect themselves exactly from men and militias such as these, not just ISIS. Women’s units such as #YPJ remain after all, the only true force to guarantee the women’s revolution and its achievement of women' s liberation and self-defense.

The Turkish state's war against free press
On December 19th, the two journalists Cihan Bilgin and Nazım Daşdan, who reported relentlessly on Turkish war crimes in North-East Syria as well as the revolution, were assassinated in a drone strike.
Now, another journalists, has been put under house arrest. Özlem Gürses has been accused of the crime of 'publicly spreading misleading information' as she states that "the ISIS structure, namely the Turkish Army and the SNA, has made small gains in the regions where the Kurds live". Persecuting free press is a normality in today's Turkey.

Jineoloji Institute shares their analysis of the current situation in Syria
The hostility of Turkey and its gangs against women reveals the two-line war in Syria. People’s leader Abdullah Ocalan, predicted for the 21st century: “Either Socialism or Barbarism”. We can interpret this as “Jin, Jiyan, Azadî” (Woman, Life, Freedom) or “Men, State, Violence”.
Hegemonic forces have used the ongoing third world war, whose center is the Middle East, to put a new plan into action in Syria as of November 27. According to information from local sources, since the summer, the gangs that have been holding training camps in Idlib and Rehyanli, have put forth a new version of their training course: “train and equip” and then have been releasing their trainees into the field in Syria.
The events that are taking place in the last days of 2024 at a mind-boggling speed indicate how the year 2025 will pass. Of course, within this plan, every hegemonic power has a new plan of its own. Are the democratic forces in Syria and the Middle East capable of protecting their people, women, cultures, nature and the future against these plans however the situation plays out? We will answer this question in due time, but now let’s look at the aspirations of the hegemonic powers who try to conquer not only our land, but also our hearts and minds.
