The Women's Council in North and East Syria commemorated the World Kobanê Day and called on the international community to intervene to end the Turkish occupation and its crimes in the occupied areas.
On the sixth annual World Day of Solidarity with Kobanê, the Women’s Council in North and East Syria issued a written statement which said the following:
"On November 1, the World Kobanê Day, free women and free peoples said their word when millions of demonstrators went out to the squares, waving flags of resistance and dignity, and the flags of the Women’s Protection and People's Protection Units, and they were calling on the international community to intervene and work to support the people in Kobanê and stop the tragedy that could happen with ISIS terrorist attack on the city.
The Women’s and People's Protection Units in Kobanê have defended all humanity against the obscurantist and extremist ideology represented by ISIS, the successor of al-Qaeda in a clear message to the world that free peoples who believe in human values and principles will not accept that these rights and principles are violated by the masters of obscurantism and those who supported and backed them to attack Kobanê in an attempt to eliminate its people’s will, especially the woman who presented the most wonderful epics in heroism, covered history with letters of light and became a symbol of sacrifice and redemption in which Arin Mirkan, the icon of humanity, will remain.
Women will not return to the ages of darkness and backwardness anymore, because with their sacrifices, they laid the corner stone for a civilized world dominated by human and moral values and in which peoples live in peace and security.
We in the Women’s Council in North and East Syria remember this day, and we call on the international community to intervene to end the Turkish occupation and stop the systematic violations committed by the Turkish occupation state and the mercenary factions associated with it in the occupied Syrian cities, especially (Afrin, Serekaniye and Girê Spi), which are no less brutal than ISIS crimes against humanity.
We also pledge our people to follow in the footsteps of Arin, Barin, Avesta and other icons of freedom until the goals of the Rojava revolution are achieved.”
