The people of Dirbesiyê protested the occupation attacks carried out by the Turkish state on 2 November, World Rojava Day.

Co-mayor of Segirka, a district in Dirbesiyê, Yusif Mihammed, said the people would choose resistance against occupation. "Kurds and friends all over the world have taken to the streets to support Rojava on World Rojava Day. We are here with great enthusiasm. The war here is about existence."

Mihammed added: "We gave many martyrs in this process, many people have been wounded and many others were forced to emigrate. Despite this, we continue to resist on our land. We hope that the resistance will lead to success. Our resistance will continue and we will not leave the invaders settle on our land. While passing through such historical times, the Kurdish issue has come to the fore with such impetus for the first time and this brings it nearer to a solution."

Stating that there is worldwide support for the Honor Resistance, citizen Adalet Omer said: "Today, epics are written on this land. There is a system established by the resisting people, the invaders are targeting this system and want to repress the people. The occupying Turkish state is attacking and threatening our gains. In Afrin, they attacked and forced the people to emigrate and want to do the same here. We as Rojava peoples will resist and win. The SDF, YPG-YPJ forces, have preserved these gains until now. We will not accept anyone but them. Our people live and resist in their lands. This land is ours and we will not leave it."

Abdurrahman, who is involved in culture and art work, said that they are facing a very brutal attack and added: "The invaders are trying to carry out a dirty war policy. We want to address all the peoples of the world from here. We say that the Kurdish issue can only be solved through policy. We want this war to end."
