The residents of Amuda were scheduled to celebrate Newroz today under the slogan "Let's make Newroz a celebration of Leader Apo's freedom and Kurdish democratic unity." However, the city and its surrounding countryside have been experiencing heavy rain since this morning, preventing celebrants from reaching the celebration site in the village of Jaghr Bazar.

Consequently, the organizing committee announced the postponement of the Newroz celebration. Committee member Abdulbaqi Omar stated that the Amuda Newroz celebration has been postponed until March 24th.

The organizing committee for the 2026 Nowruz celebrations in the Jazira region had previously announced the postponement of celebrations in the cities of Qamishli, Tirbespiyê, Hasakah, and Derbasiyah until March 24th, with the festivities to begin at 11:00 AM in the previously designated locations.
