⚡️Attack on Minbic has begun. All of Syria is on the move, the borders of controlled territories are shifting almost hourly, & the international stage is no longer calm either. Almost the entire Middle East, as well as hegemonic powers such as the US & Russia, are involved ⤵️
1/ Syria, which has become one of the central theaters of World War III since 2012, has not lost any of its significance for geostrategic and ideological conflicts today.

Situational Report from #Rojava:

Since Nov 27, jihadist militias around the “Syrian National Army” (SNA) & “Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham” (HTS) launched a major offensive. Large areas west of the Euphrates have fallen, but resistance holds in Sheikh Maqsoud, #Aleppo ⤵️

Solidarity with Şêx Meqsûd!

HTS (formerly al-Nusra Front) launched an offensive against #Aleppo. Syrian regime forces unable to defend the city, have retreated from parts of the City. As a result, HTS has been able to take over large parts of the city in a very short time. ⤵️ Aleppo has always been a multi-ethnic and multi-religious city consisting of Kurds, Christians, Armenians etc. Although the Syrian regime controlled Aleppo for a number of years, there has been an area, Şêx Meqsûd, which was and still is controlled by the YPG and YPJ.

40th year: "Commander Agit lives on, the PKK continues to fight."

On August 15, 1984, the Kurdish uprising against the Turkish occupation forces began, 40 years later, a look at the context in which the Kurdish liberation struggle in Bakûr (Northern Kurdistan) emerged: After the Second World War, the Kurdish struggle is intense and expressed in political parties in Rojhilat (Iranian Kurdistan) through the Mahabad Republic and in Bashur (Southern Kurdistan) through uprisings against the Iraqi regime.

Update on Resistance in Medya Defence Areas, Southern Kurdistan:

➡️ “Revolutionary Operations” launched by People’s Defence Forces (HPG)
➡️ Turkish invaders continue to commit war crimes
➡️ Balance of Resistance in November: huge casualties in ranks of Turkish invaders

Thread According to a statement by the Press Office of the People’s Defense Forces (HPG) Turkish forces continue to comit war crimes in face of stagnation of their attempts to occupy the Zap and Metîna Regions in Southern Kurdistan

Withdrawal of Turkish forces is even more extensive than expected: According to the guerrilla forces in #Zap, intense fighting, especially on the region's eastern front, continues with unabated intensity. The resistance is unbroken!

🧵 with all the latest information ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Except of Gire FM & Gire Hakkari, 🇹🇷forces withdrew from entire western front. The fact that they could't take/hold Gire Cudi, Şehîd Pirdogan & Gire Amediye is a major step backwards, as these areas are crucial for capture of Gire Bahar & the occupation's connection to Kurojahro

We want to draw your attention to the case of Znar Bozkurt, who is facing deportation from Sweden to Turkey. His crimes: Being Kurdish, homosexual & pro democracy.
#StopDeportingZinarBozkurt

1/9 The 26-year-old fled Turkey because he feared political persecution: when he applied for asylum in Sweden, he claimed to be persecuted in Turkey because of his identity as a Kurd, his homosexuality and his commitment to the #HDP.

How the 🇹🇷 occupation policy looks like in different parts of #Rojava and why we have to strengthen the #resistance against turkish fascism

A Thread ⬇️ For years, the Turkish state intervened in #Syria primarily through the Islamic State and other jihadist groups.

After it became clear that the Syrian Democratic Forces SDF would win the war against Daesh the Turkish state realized that it would have to intervene directly.
