Kobane - a story of resistance
Kobane, a small town in northern Syria on the border with Bakur (Northern Kurdistan, Turkey), has made history. The revolution of 19 July 2012 began in Kobane. And it was 2015 in Kobane that ISIS was defeated for the first time. With this video, we commemorate all those who lost their lives in the struggle for humanity and dignity, and pay tribute to 14 years of revolution.
Even though the current Syrian government tries to deny this history by changing the name of Kobane into Ayn al-Arab, this history of Kobane cannot be denied and erased.

Statement of Kongra Star
Today, Kongra Star issued a statement condemning the attacks and divisions targeting the Kurdish people and women. Among other things, the women demanded that Rami al-Dahesh—who boasted about cutting off a YPJ fighter’s braid and remains at large—be held accountable for his actions.

Yesterday the first Wheat Festival took place in Qamishlo. Wheat is part of the culture and life and has a deep-rooted tradition throughout Syria. And at a festival dedicated to the culture of life and women, YPJ naturally was part of it. YPJ, a life-giving force deeply intertwined with society.

In Remembrance of the 12th anniversary of the genocide in Shengal
On August 3, 2014, ISIS attacked the region of Shengal and carried out a massacre. The forces of YPJ, YPG, and the guerrillas from the Free Mountains of Kurdistan, HPG, stood up to ISIS and saved thousands of lives. In order to answer these attacks the Self-defense Units of Shengal were formed and a counterattack was launched, liberating the region from ISIS.
Then, as now, the YPJ was a vital force that stood up against the brutality of ISIS. Even today, the YPJ continues to play an important role in rescuing women held captive by ISIS.
We are all YPJ! Self-defense is a natural right!

Statement of the General Command of YPJ
"It must be clearly understood that the threats directed against Shengal are not merely attacks on a particular geographical area; they are a direct assault on the political and social existence and authentic identity of the Kurdish people as a whole. The only genuine guarantee for protecting our Yazidi community lies in strengthening the system of democratic self-administration and securing official recognition of their political and cultural rights. Protecting Shengal’s resistance and its free will means safeguarding the common essence and future of all free peoples."

Statement regarding the ongoing discussions
Within the framework of the 29 January 2026 Agreement, our negotiations, as the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), with Damascus are continuing.
In April, we held a meeting with Minister of Defense Murhaf Abu Qasra, during which we also submitted a written draft outlining our vision and proposals.
To this day, we have not been informed of any official proposal or decision by the authorities in Damascus.
There are proposals for the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) to join the Ministry of Interior as an independent force dedicated to combating terrorism. However, no final decision has yet been reached on this matter.
In the coming days, meetings will be held between us and officials in Damascus to discuss this issue.
Our struggle and activities will continue until the legacy of the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) is placed under legal protection and guarantee.

At the beginning of 2026, during the heroic resistance of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh, many women and men gave their lives for the safety and freedom of the people and felt martyr. A few days ago, the identities of eight fallen fighters of the Internals Security forces (Asayish), who fell martyr during this resistance, were announced. They were laid to rest in different places across Rojava. We remember them and their resistance with great respect.
