Emphasis on unity of Kurdish ranks and standing together with SDF

Hundreds of components of the city of Çil Agha in Al-Jazira canton, including Arabs, Kurds, notables of Arab and Kurdish clans, and forcibly displaced people from Afrin and Shahba canton (residents of the city), went out in a massive march, affirming their support for the Syrian Democratic Forces, for their valiant resistance in the face of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries.

The march participants gathered at the Women's Roundabout, west of the city, carrying flags of the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Autonomous Administration, in addition to banners reading, "We are all SDF," "Standing with all our components in the face of killing and displacement," and "Hand in hand with the Syrian Democratic Forces."

Member of the Popular Initiative in Çil Agha, Saleh Safo, delivered a speech in which he stressed that “the continuous resistance shown by the people of the region against the tyrannical Baath regime led to its downfall, and with its tyranny and criminal practices against the Syrian people, especially the Kurds, who have suffered from injustice and abuse for more than five decades."

Safo continued, saying: “At a time when we are seeking to build a new, democratic Syria, the Turkish occupation state and its mercenaries are trying to target the gains for which we sacrificed over the course of 14 years, during which thousands of martyrs fell, to sow discord among the people of one nation and incite sectarian strife.”

At the conclusion of his speech, Saleh Safo stressed: “We, the people of the city of Çil Agha, from various components and sects, stand alongside our forces, the Syrian Democratic Forces, hand in hand in confronting tyrants and occupiers.”

 He pledged to "preserve our project, the project of the democratic nation and the brotherhood of peoples, until we achieve the building of a democratic Syria for all Syrians."

The march ended with chanting, “We are all SDF,” “Long live the people’s resistance,” and “Long live the SDF resistance.”
