On #InternationalWomensDay we pay tribute to the heroic women of #Rojava & especially the brave fighters of the #YPJ who have worked tirelessly to liberate Syria from the Islamic fascists of #Daesh and now face down the tyrant #Erdogan and his NeoOttoman imperialism! #Solidarity.

Today, Turkish-backed SNA factions have advanced and captured more villages in Shehba, a region under the DAANES’ administration. Clashes are currently taking place on the outskirts of Tel Rifaat.

These brave women are preparing again to face the rising terrorist waves from Aleppo. Many have already lost their lives. Many more will lose their lives so that the world is a safer place. The world must stand in solidarity with them. They can’t be abandoned again as they were.

It’s worth noting that anyone who calls the SNA “rebels” is really misleading you. At a time when the Assad regime is at its weakest, they’re choosing to fight the sdf. They’re a deniable war crimes proxy for Turkey, not the people who rose up against Assad more than a decade ago

[YPJ International @YPJInt]

Because of the current situation and ongoing attacks on the Autonomous Self-Administration (#AANES), a lot of people want to come or ask how to help. While coming here may not be feasible right now for everybody, there is actually a lot you can do at home to #DefendRojava (1/2)

[Janet Grabowski @janetcalif]

As Turkey releases their head chopping, rapists into Syria,(ISIS 2.0) where millions are now at risk, there is utter silence. The West is gleeful that Assad is getting his due. But the minorities on the ground (kurds, Christians, yezadi) are in danger. Where are the protests?

[Rojava Information Center @RojavaIC]

Since yesterday, HTS has consolidated and continued their incursion into Syrian government territories.

[Diliman Abdulkader @D_abdulkader]

Turkish backed terrorist “rebels” in Aleppo have taken Kurdish women hostage.

Just as Hamas did on October 7th.

The filth and scum in Syria are all backed by NATO member Turkey.

@farhad_shami, head of #SDF-Media Center during interview:

1- We will respect the decision of the Afrin Liberation Forces #HRE and Afrin refugees regarding the Shahba area.

2- Rumors that we agreed to withdraw from Sheikh Maqsut and Ashrafiyeh are not true

#SDF: "We urge the young men and women of the region to join the SDF and contribute to building a free future."

🧵 Clearing the Confusion: HTS, Turkish Proxies, and the Threat to Rojava (AANES)

1/ A lot of confused "experts": What are the goals of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and Turkish-backed SNA? How do their actions threaten Rojava (AANES)? Let’s clarify.

[Laird Stephen Powell @Laird_SRPowell]

Despite Jolani’s best efforts at rebranding as a technocrat, the Salvation government doesn’t offer a positive future for Syrians. Nor do the Turkish backed jihadists who ethnically cleansed Afrin.

Solidarity with the Kurds of #Rojava who will likely have to weather the storm.

[Rojava Network @RojavaNetwork]

BREAKING: Al-Yaum reported that Turkish-border guards have committed a massacre and killed 15 civilians on the border between Syria and Turkey in occupied Serê Kaniyê (Ras al-Ain)

[Ewan Gibbs @ewangibbs]

It’s not Scotland’s energy, it’s EDF, SSE and Equinor’s wind farms. We don’t own any of them thanks to Flynn and his party being happy to auction off our resources and our future. What a chancer.

[Laird Stephen Powell @Laird_SRPowell]

When will Western states take notice of the persecution of minority communities across the #MENA region? Ethnic cleansing against Kurds & Assyrians in Afrin, Christian populations collapsing, yet we leave it to far-right nutters to actually raise a voice in complaint.

[Laird Stephen Powell @Laird_SRPowell]

This is attempted genocide by Turkey & its Islamist allies. They’re cleansing #Afrin, replacing the Kurds & Assyrians with Arabs, whilst kidnapping, raping, and killing brave Kurdish women who stand up for their rights. Now they starve the #NES Speak up! @UKLabour @DavidLammy 😳

Today, on Kurdish Clothes Day, we don the vibrant tapestry of our heritage with pride. Our traditional outfits are more than just clothing; they are a declaration of identity, resilience, and unity. Amidst attempts to diminish our spirit, they stand as a vivid testament to our enduring culture and the unbreakable will of the Kurdish people to thrive and preserve our legacy. Let's wear our Kurdish garments as a badge of honor, celebrating the rich history and vibrant future we hold dear. #KurdishClothesDay #KurdishIdentity #Resilience
