Turkish militias are withdrawn from Afrin According to local media reports, the new so-called Syrian government has begun to withdraw part of the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) from the Kurdish region of Afrin. A representative of the Syrian Ministry of Defense confirmed this to the French news agency AFP on Wednesday. The remaining militias would also only remain there “temporarily”. In future, they would be transferred to military bases that had previously been hit by Israeli airstrikes. The withdrawal of the mostly Islamist militias, who were known for their human rights violations, could be a first step towards the possibility of the hundreds of thousands of displaced people from Afrin being able to return to their homes after seven years. The region was occupied by Turkey and the SNA in 2018 in violation of international law. According to unconfirmed reports, the first militias are also withdrawing from the areas occupied in northern Syria in 2019. From @Jugendinfo

EN Statement by the General Command of the YPG on the Transfer of Security Responsibilities in Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyyah April 4, 2025 Since the recent phase of the conflict in Syria, the people of Şêxmeqsûd and Eşrefiyê in Aleppo have established a self-reliant and organized system of defense in response to persistent threats. From the earliest days, the YPG and YPJ have actively supported and reinforced this line of resistance. Throughout this period, our forces have borne significant sacrifices. However, the strategic gains achieved have played a decisive role in ensuring the security and stability of the civilian population. Recent developments have once again affirmed the effectiveness and resilience of this collective effort. Our units have carried out their responsibilities with discipline and a clear sense of duty. In accordance with the latest agreement concluded between the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria and the Syrian Transitional Government, the responsibility for maintaining security in Şêxmeqsûd and Eşrefiyê has been formally transferred to the Internal Security Forces operating under the authority of the Autonomous Administration. A partial withdrawal of our forces has already been completed; the remaining units will be redeployed in a phased and orderly manner over the coming days. The YPG and YPJ remain committed to the principles of self-governance and the organized will of the people. We will continue to adapt our posture in line with the strategic requirements of the new phase.

The agreement between SDF and HTS: A step towards democracy in Syria?🤝 On the 10th of March an agreement between the SDF and HTS was signed by their representatives Mazloum Abdi and Ahmed Al-Sharaa. While this agreement opens the way for some developments, there are a lot of questions coming up. To understand this agreement better we have to take into account the broader situation of Syria. The new agreement between the SDF and HTS which was signed on the 10th of March should be seen as a step in a more long term and strategical process. It is signed in a moment of strength, where the HTS can just exist with international support, while the revolution is standing on its own feet, the strength of an organized society. ➡️ You can read our analysis here: https://pastes.io/the-agreement-between-sdf-and-hts-a-step-towards-democracy-in-syria

⁨⁨🔴NEW ARTICLE: TURKISH FASCISM An introduction to today’s fascism by the Internationalist Commune of Rojava https://t.me/communeinfo "As revolutionary youth, we must know our enemy well in order to fight against him effectively. Understanding Turkish fascism, with its more than hundred years of history, is helpful and necessary because the Turkish state has been a project of Western powers and has taken on different roles since its foundation. But Turkish fascism is also a vanguard of modern fascism. If we understand Turkish fascism, we can develop perspectives for anti-fascist struggles on this basis in order to defeat fascism in the Middle East and across the world." 🔻 Available in EN | ES | IT | PT | GE | ID | FR 📖 Read this important article on www.revistalegerin.com ❗️Follow for more t.me/legerinmagazine Lêgerîn #16- Defeating fascism on 21th Century⁩⁩

SDF PRESS: Ongoing Escalation of Turkish Occupation Attacks and Strong Retaliatory Operations by Our Forces on Tishreen Dam and Qara Qwzaq Fronts The Turkish occupation and its mercenaries are intensifying their daily attacks on north and eastern Syria, yet they have made no significant progress due to the steadfast resistance of our fighters. Yesterday on the Tishreen Dam front, Turkish occupation warplanes carried out multiple airstrikes targeting the dam’s vicinity, including workers’ housing. Heavy Turkish artillery fire also struck villages in the southeastern countryside of Manbij, causing extensive material damage to civilian homes. Additionally, one of our positions was targeted, resulting in minor injuries to one of our fighters. As the occupation’s mercenaries were preparing to launch an attack on our positions, our Martyr Haroun Units conducted an operation against them, eliminating two mercenaries and destroying an ammunition depot and a military vehicle belonging to the mercenaries. Severe damage was inflicted to the mercenaries’ position. In addition, our Martyr Haroun Units successfully intercepted and destroyed a suicide drone as it attempted to attack our positions. On the Qara Qwzaq front, Turkish occupation warplanes launched several airstrikes on the village of Ghasq and a fuel station near the Serrin town junction. These strikes were accompanied by intense shelling from artillery, tanks, rocket launchers, and mortars, targeting the villages of al-Tina, Ja’dah, Bir Hisso, Ghasq, Dekan, Melha, and al-Sana’, as well as the Sayfi Hill and Qara Qwzaq Hill near the bridge. More than 180 shells indiscriminately struck these areas, causing significant destruction to homes and civilian properties. "In response to these attacks, our fighters carried out an operation targeting the bases and fortifications of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries in the western countryside near the Qara Qwzaq bridge. One mercenary was confirmed eliminated, and two others were wounded. In Kobani, Turkish occupation warplanes launched two airstrikes on Mount Barkal, southeast of the city, alongside heavy artillery shelling, resulting in material damage. Turkish warplanes and UCAVs continued to hover over the city and its surrounding areas throughout the day. Additionally, Turkish occupation warplanes and UCAVs remained active over the town of Ain Issa and its surrounding areas. The total confirmed casualties among the mercenaries include three eliminated and two wounded. Furthermore, a suicide drone and a military vehicle were successfully destroyed."

Several months after the fall of the Ba'ath regime, and the joy of the Syrian people who revolted against this regime and its oppressive practices, the so-called "Constitutional Declaration" was issued today in Damascus. This declaration includes provisions and a traditional style similar to the standards and criteria followed by the Ba'ath government. This measure once again contradicts the reality of Syria and its diversity. It also effectively falsifies Syria's national and societal identity, as this declaration lacks the imprint and spirit of Syria's people and its various components, from Kurds to Arabs, as well as Syriacs, Assyrians, and other Syrian national components. We, in the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, affirm that Syria today needs the solidarity and unity of its people to determine their democratic future and Syrian national participation, which strengthens partnership in the homeland. We also affirm that this declaration lacks the standards of Syrian national diversity and lacks the actual participation of Syria's national components. Therefore, this declaration once again expresses the "individualistic mentality," which is an extension of the previous state that existed in Syria and against which the people rose up. This declaration does not represent the aspirations of our people, nor does it recognize the true nature of their authentic identity in Syria. It is merely a form and framework that undermines efforts to achieve true democracy in Syria, and its provisions are far removed from Syria and the hopes of its people. The true constitution is one that all components share and agree upon, as it is the sustainable democratic path for the future of Syria and the future of its coming generations. We hope that some narrow practices and ideas will not return us to square one, as that will only make the Syrian wound bleed again.

❤️💛💚 Greetings to the historic resistance of the Tishreen dam on the walls of Bienne in Switzerland Because everyone should know that for almost 2 months, thousands of people of northern and eastern Syria have been taking turns defying Turkey's attacks by their presence on the dam. The names of the 24 civilians who sacrificed their lives in this action to protect their region and their people, in which over 200 people were injured, should be written on every wall. This action is of critical importance in defending the gains of the Rojava revolution. It must be supported by all forces fighting against capitalism and fascism around the world. 🔥At a time when despair fills more and more hearts, all those who struggle should be able to feel the strength, determination and fighting spirit that emanates from Tishreen's resistance. #WeAreTishreen #RiseUp4Rojava

KDP cooperation with the Turkish occupation: Three guerrillas martyred While passing the village of Guherzê, 3 HPG guerrillas were ambushed on February 21st. As seen on the footage spread on different Telegram channels the perpetrators were wearing civilian clothes & drive of in a civilian car. So who are the attackers? All indices point to the attackers being connected to the KDP and Parastin, KDP'S intelligence agency. Parastin is working closely with the Turkish intelligence agency MIT. The hypocrisy of the KDP comes to light: Just days after they met with the Imrali- Delegation they attack the Guerrillas passing by a village.
