"Free Burma Rangers" delegation participates in protests of Tishreen Dam

A delegation from the American organization "Free Burma Rangers" visited Tishreen Dam to assess the situation on the ground and the damage inflicted upon the dam as a result of attacks by the Turkish occupation, as well as to provide medical care to the injured.

 The delegation was welcomed by the protestors at Tishreen Dam with chants celebrating the resistance of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ).

 During the activities held on the dam structure, the head of the organization's teams in North and East Syria, Dawood Shankali, spoke on behalf of the organization, saying:

"I am grateful to you. Many of you have asked me how I feel today standing on this dam. When Tishreen Dam was liberated from ISIS mercenaries, I came here, and today I have returned. I am very happy."

 He also expressed his sorrow over the massacres committed by the Turkish occupation forces at Tishreen Dam, stating:

"I am deeply saddened by the loss of the martyrs who gave their lives in this place – not only members of the Syrian Democratic Forces but also civilians who participated in this resistance – your sons, fathers, mothers, and families. It is truly heartbreaking what you have endured. However, upon seeing you today, I realize that you are a people who will never surrender. Why? Because you are a people who love freedom, and you will undoubtedly triumph."

 At the conclusion of his speech, his daughter Zozan, who accompanied him during the visit, performed a song in English.

 Meanwhile, the protest by the people of North and East Syria at Tishreen Dam has been ongoing since January 8, in defiance of Turkish occupation attacks and to protect the dam.
