"Statement to the public opinion

In light of the all-out war being waged against the regions of North and East Syria by mercenary groups affiliated with the Damascus Interim Government, and the government's failure to abide by all previous agreements and understandings, most notably the March 10th Agreement, and its perpetration of the most heinous crimes against our people in all their diversity, the Syrian Democratic Forces are demonstrating heroic and historic resistance against these barbaric attacks on all fronts, defending the region and the gains of its people.

It is no longer a secret that the government controlling Damascus is leading Syria towards the abys, as through its current approach, it is attempting to pit the various Syrian communities against each other and create a deep rift among the Syrian people, all in service of the agendas and objectives of foreign countries and parties. Therefore, we warn the Damascus government that its actions will have serious repercussions and consequences for the region and its people, and we hold it fully responsible for the ongoing wars and destruction.

In order to confront this war and the policies pursued by the Damascus government, we, in the Democratic Autonomous Administration, while condemning this brutal war in the strongest terms, declare a general mobilization. We call upon all our people everywhere to rise up, join the general mobilization, and rally around their military forces, who are defending the existence and identity of the region's people, to repel these attacks, defeat this war, and achieve the goals of our revolution and protect its gains.

This is a historic and extremely sensitive and dangerous phase. Therefore, everyone must act responsibly and spare no effort to avert the dangers surrounding the region, especially the threat of the return of ISIS mercenaries. All our people must take up arms and organize themselves according to the requirements of war.

We also call on the international community to intervene immediately and put an end to the war waged by the Damascus government, and to fulfill its moral obligations towards the people of the region who have offered thousands of martyrs and wounded in order to rid the world of the danger of terrorism. We appeal to our people in all parts of Kurdistan and all of humanity to rise up and support the resistance of the people of Rojava who are fighting today in defense of existence."
