Countless plans were devised for Rojava up to now, and almost all of them were put in motion. But, they failed in the face of the resistance and the inclusive policies of the system in Rojava.

AKP/RTE and KDP/Barzani were behind all the plans. When the old plans failed, a new and dangerous plan was initiated.

The new plan is based on fighting among Kurds. Barzani is so hungry for power that together with RTE and AKP and the Syrian National Coalition under their guidance, he plans to get Kurds fighting in Rojava, disregarding the results of the fights in the South.

RTE’S NATIONAL COALITION

RTE named the emerging groups when the Syrian civil war started in 2011. He called them the Free Syrian Army. Then, he started talking about a Syrian National Coalition as a political organisation. They put the Arab nationalist Burhan Ğeylum to head this organisation at first. Ğeylum didn’t have the formation to realize their plans, as he didn’t have including the Kurds in mind. He was explicitly excluding the Kurds even. So, he was replaced by Abdulbasit Seyda, a Kurd trained by the Muslim Brotherhood and their cadre. Seyda worked for the AKP and Barzani. But he also failed to show the formation they demanded, so was replaced by Maaz El Hatip to preserve the Arab-Kurdish balance. Maaz El Hatip looked for a solution independent from them in 2012 and said, “We as the Kurds, the regime and the opposition should come together for a solution to the problem in Syria.” He first held meetings with the regime. Then he relayed his request to the Rojava administration to meet in Hewler for talks. The Rojava administration said they would hold the meetings in Qamishlo, not Hewler. El Hatip was positive towards the demand of the Rojava administration and said he was ready to meet for the solution in Qamishlo, whenever the administration wanted. Then he faced an intervention. El Hatip was removed from office with a sham congress and Ahmet Cerba from the Cuburi Tribe replaced him. Ahmet Cerba made his first visit after coming to office to Hewler and met with Massoud Barzani. Attacks on Rojava started after this meeting. The attacks continued through 2013, but failed. So, Cerba was also replaced with Turkish citizen Halit Hoca. Hoca had one foot in İstanbul and the other in Hewler. The web woven between Hewler and Turkey produced numerous plans to tear down the revolution, but they all failed. When Halit Hoca was also exposed and the dirty plans and tricks were revealed, Enes El Ebde of British origin was appointed as the SNC president. El Ebde is a cadre of the Muslim Brotherhood. He continued implementing the policies championed by previous SNC presidents. All these plans were to disrupt or destroy the Rojava revolution.

THE MOST DANGEROUS

The politics of Enes El Ebde also came from Ankara and Hewler. They were the politics of a strategic partnership with RTE and Barzani, aimed at destroying the free Kurd and the Rojava revolution. Ebde visited Hewler again recently to reassess the plans coming out of these politics and to come up with new plans. He met with Massoud Barzani and the head of intelligence Şirvan Barzani. Days before these meetings, people acting on the behalf of ENKS, which is nonexistent apart from some members of KDP and a few of their intelligence officers, met with the Baath regime in Hasekê. It is likely that plans against Rojava and their defense forces were discussed in these meetings. While Enes El Ebde held the meetings in Hewler, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu declared that they had forces in all of Syria, primarily Aleppo/Shehba, to fight together with the US against ISIS and proposed to the US to build such a collaboration. Immediately after Çavuşoğlu’s declaration, Enes El Ebde said the gang group known as the Rojava peshmerga was among their armed forces and they were ready to work with the US with these groups. A group called Suwar Kurdi was declared simultaneously with Ebde’s statement. This group is the new name of the groups Selahattin, Azadi, Yusuf El Azma and Liva El Hamza groups who attacked Şeyh Maqsud and Şehba. But the most significant aspect of this group is that they have declared that they were formed with the goal of eradicating the PKK and PYD. This is in essence nothing other than the inter-Kurdish conflict the Barzanis wanted in Rojava since 2011. This is, in essence, a revelation that the Barzanis’ strategic partnership with RTE is based on an anti-Kurdish sentiment. Signs were already there before this gang was formed. During the 3-day long clashes of the regime and the asayish (public security) forces in Qamishlo, Faysal İsmail spoke on behalf of the ENKS and said there were sleeper cells, and it was the best time for these sleeper cells to activate and that he didn’t know what they were still waiting for. This statement was the declaration of the start of the inter-Kurdish conflict that turned the conflict between Rojava asayish forces and the regime that the YPG occasionally joined into an opportunity.

THEY WANT TO PREVENT THE CANTONS FROM UNITING

It won’t be wrong to say that the recent statements from first the Turkish Foreign Minister Çavuşoğlu and then the so-called SNC President Enes Ebde and the forming of the gang group emerged as part of a new plan. But it would also be true to say that this plan is more dangerous than all the previous ones, as this plan is the most horrifying plan devised to start an inter-Kurdish conflict in Rojava. Another reason for the significance of this plan is that is coincides with the maneuvers to liberate Manbij and Raqqa. Thus, the plan in question is a plan to prevent Rojava cantons from uniting. It is possible to say that this plan aims to create obstacles along the way to the uniting of Kobanê and Efrîn.

KDP WON’T REST EASY

Any way you look at it, this plan constitutes real danger. It could also be said that the plan can turn towards KDP in diminishing their standing structure, as the KDP has inched towards an end following each plan devised together with RTE against Rojava. It would be appropriate to say that with this latest plan, they are playing their last hand. But it can be foreseen that this dangerous play could make them lose completely.

It should be remembered that the implementation of this plan will bring new suffering for the Kurds. This question comes to mind: Will KDP rest easy in Hewler and other parts of the South when this plan is implemented in Rojava?
