In a written statement, Manbij Military Council (MMC) announced that 2 of its international fighters fell as martyrs in Manbij during the attacks of the occupant Turkish army and affiliate gang groups.

I came here to participate in this sacred struggle.”

Born in Germany, Zana Ciwan joined the ranks of Manbij Military Council in September, 2016, saying: “The war in Rojava and Northern Syria means a lot to me because the people living here do not accept cruelty, slavery or terror. I will support this democratic revolution to the end.”
