Politicians from the city of Tel Tamr affirmed that the current phase in Rojava intersects in its objectives and methods with the February 15, 1999 conspiracy that targeted leader Abdullah Ocalan. They stressed that the peoples who thwarted that conspiracy twenty-six years ago are today also capable of protecting their gains and foiling any attempts to undermine their democratic project.

Amid the roar of shelling and the sounds of resistance, Agid Roj carried his camera and moved between the front lines, documenting the dangers despite the risks. He believed that the word on the defense front is no less important than the battlefield, and that the image can preserve the memory of an entire people. During his years working in free media, his presence became part of the narrative of resistance, until he was targeted while performing his duty, leaving behind a journalistic legacy that embodies commitment to the truth.

Traders in Syria fear that the interim government’s collection of detailed data about their shops and commercial activities through the “barcode system” may be exploited or leaked to external parties, potentially harming their businesses and increasing pressure on them amid a challenging economic environment.

Citizens stressed that the current stage requires comprehensive Kurdish unity, calling for an urgent national conference to unify ranks and strengthen the political position. They considered unity of ranks and word to be the strongest weapon to protect the people and their rights. (Photos and video attached).

In his defense pleadings, leader Abdullah Ocalan sheds light on the international conspiracy that targeted him, describing it as the product of an authoritarian philosophy that extended over decades and involved global and regional powers aimed at weakening the Kurdish liberation movement and aborting the democratic nation project. He explains that the conspiracy was not merely political, but part of a global strategy to eliminate any threat to the capitalist modernity system and dominant powers. He stresses the need to understand these deep historical calculations and avoid falling into the trap of “divide and rule” policies, which have been used against many peoples, including the Kurds, Armenians, and Syriacs, to weaken their unity and subject them to hegemonic logic.

Observers believe that the agreement between the Syrian Democratic Forces and the interim government has defused a conflict that could have opened the door to a new chapter of civil war. Meanwhile, the world awaits the outcome of diplomatic movements regarding Iran, while Iraq’s political crisis remains unresolved, particularly amid the failure to move away from sectarian quota-based governance.

Under the slogan “Physical Freedom for Leader Apo and a Political Solution to the Kurdish Issue,” and in condemnation of the international conspiracy against leader Abdullah Öcalan on its 27th anniversary, cities in Rojava are witnessing marches and various activities. (Photos and video attached).
