Rest in Power Anna Campbell. Şehid namirin! 🌻🌹🌿

"International Commune of Rohava confirmed that Campell was killed on March 16. The commune tweeted: “Our friend Helin (Anna Campbell) became şehid fighting in #Afrin. We will always remember her brave and unbreakable spirit of resistance. She was also the voice of our video against G20, and now her message became an immortal call. Şehid namirin! (Martyrs are immortal)”.

International Freedom Batalion’s cantonments, Cizîrê canton, the 22nd january 2018

Since the 21st january, the Turkey proceed to an invasion of Afrin’s canton, helped by groups claiming themselves from the Free Syrian Army, some of them are salafist and/or pan-turkish.

Thus, the population of this Democratic Federation of Northern Syria’s (DFNS) enclave suffer today the turkish aviation’s bombardments and resist to terrestrial attacks with his military forces which are the YPG and the YPJ, along with the conscripts’ milicia, the HPX.

This betrayal is not a surprise

The international community react until now shyly to this attack which threats the actual revolution in the Syria’s North. The Russia, until now DFNS’s ally in her struggle against the Islamic State start to betray her alliance with this one, the United States and the other western countries react only by press releases.

This treason, the comrades here had predict it, being given those allies by strategic necessity while they didn’t have the choice, surrounded by considerable enemies. In more, nothing is sure about the neutrality’s preservation of the Bashar Al-Assad’s regime.

This is, again, a proof that we can’t expect something of the capitalist and imperialist countries which operate in the Middle East only for their economic and politic interests. This event is very important in the revolution’s history which is today in its beginnigs and in the support that the international revolutionary movement can give.

Indeed, we are in the front of a armed forces’ operation much better equipped than ours and maybe numerically superior. Note that the turkish army is the 2nd NATO’s most important and the 9th of the world, comprising more than 500.000 soldiers and more than 100.000 paramilitaries. The imperialist states, to save their interests in the region, can decide to counter more actively this attack, but nothing assure it.

If there is a moment where we need, here, the revolutionary activists, it’s thus today. On our part, we, international revolutionary volunteers, are ready to struggle alongside our YPG and YPJ’s comrades to defend the revolution.

In France or elsewhere, you can help us :

by sharing the informations about what happened actually in Syria ;

by participating to the solidarity demonstrations ;

by organizing some support actions, especially against the Turkey’s embassies ;

by popularizing the young revolution’s experience today ongoing ;

by joining us to fight the dictorial regimes which threat this revolution.

Bijî bexwedana Efrinê !

Bijî têkoşîna dijfaşîstî û dijemperyalîstî !

Bijî şoreşa navneteweyî !

Long life to Afrin’s resistance !

Long life to antifascist and antiimperialist struggle !

Long life to the international revolution !

Une marche des femmes à Afrîn, le 13 février, pour protester contre l’invasion turque.

Canton de la Cizîrê, le 7 mars 2018

Les femmes des différents peuple composant le Rojava s’organisent pour la journée internationale des droits des femmes du 8 mars prochain. Dans ce cadre, il y a notamment deux actions qui sont en cours.

Il y a celle en lien avec l’actuelle résistance des peuples du canton d’Afrîn contre les djihadistes et l’armée turque : un convoi de 1000 femmes est en route pour le canton afin de soutenir la population et notamment les femmes.

Une camarade, Maria Couture, l’explique dans une interview.

Une seconde action est la création de la chaîne Jin TV ("La télé des femmes”). Celle-ci a été annoncée par la fondation des femmes Newa. Cette chaîne est dédiée aux trois camarades assassinées à Paris : Sakîne, Leyla et Fidan. Elle a pour but de rendre visible le travail des femme dans tous les domaines de la vie, sur la base d’une diversité linguistique et culturelle.

Toutes ces actions ont lieu dans le cadre de la révolution du Rojava dont l’un des piliers est les droits des femmes, avec un engagement militaire de celles-ci dans la milice non-mixte, les YPJ.

Celle-ci est aujourd’hui engagée en 1re ligne dans la bataille pour la défense du canton d’Afrîn. Les camarades Avêsta Xabûr et Barîn Kobanê font partie de celles qui sont tombées en martyres, l’une d’elle s’est sacrifiée pour arrêter une colonne de chars tandis que la seconde a eu son corps mutilé par les pantins de l’État turc dont le projet fasciste et patriarcal est en opposition à celui porté par la révolution en cours au Rojava. Jin, Jiyan, Azadî !
