World Kobanê Day celebrated in Northern Syria

It was in 2014 that 1 November was declared World Kobanê Day, following the promise by people all over the world to support the resistance.

People in Northern Syria gathered at Jina Azad (Free Women) Square in Kobanê carrying YPG and YPJ flags to mark 1 November, World Kobanê Day.

During the march to Martyr Agit Square, people protested against the attacks of the occupying Turkish state against Kobanê and Girê Spî in recent days.

Eid Hamid El Munhash, Co-Chair of the Executive Council of the Autonomous Northern and Eastern Syria, and the Co-chairman of the MSD Executive Committee member Ilham Ehmed are present at the celebration.

Speaking at the rally, Kobanê Democratic Autonomous Administration Executive Council co-chair, Enwer Muslim, condemned the Turkish state's attacks targeting Northern Syrian people.

In his speech, Muslim also called on the international community to take a clear stance on these attacks.

It was in 2014 that 1 November was declared World Kobanê Day, following the promise by people all over the world to support the resistance.

That day marches and actions were organised in 93 countries to support the YPG-YPJ fighters who were resisting in Kobanê.

On 26 January 2015, after 134 days of resistance, the DAESH mercenaries were defeated and forced to withdraw. This historic day became a day celebrated by the peoples all over the world.

Just days before this year's celebrations, the Turkish occupying forces attacked some villages around Kobanê. The attacks have been read as a direct attack to Kobanê Day.
