The revolution of Rojava is under existential attack! Jihadist gangs gathered in the name of the Jolani-regime under the leadership of Turkey. The offensive on North- and East-Syria has begun. https://t.me/RiseUp4RojavaEng/2021
In Rojava the general mobilization has been declared and everyone is ready to resist. As internationalists we also call for mobilization in Europe, Abya Yala and all around the world: For all people struggling for freedom to rise up now to defend the revolution in every way we can.

The revolution that rose against the Assad regime, took down the caliphate of ISIS and became a beacon of hope can succeed over the same mentality once again.
The revolutionary strength comes not from any outside force, but its the strength of the united people, of us. We are calling everyone to gather around the self-defense forces.
We are rising up proclaiming “Resistance is Life!”
Take action against the responsibles of this war! Block, Disturb, Occupy!
Long live the revolution of Rojava!
Jin, Jiyan, Azadî!❤️🔥✌️

Fight for Raqqa:
After sleeper cells loyal to HTS have been seen in a central place creating turmoil it was reported that HTS entered the city form the south. YPJ snipers have been targeting roaming Jihadists from different positions throughout the city

Clashes with HTS elements and ISIS sleeper cells in the city have been ongoing. The coming hours may decide on the fate of the city. Enemy claims that the city has been conquered are not representing the situation on the ground. SDF and YPJ are active in the city targeting Islamists with ambushes and sniper fire.
Tishreen dam:
Fierce resistance against Turkish backed islamists
Attacks are continuing around the dam. Attempts to take over the strategical positions called Suritell Hill have been foiled by the SDF and YPJ. The attacking forces were targeted with heavy weapons and drones. After a tactical retreat Islamist gangs have taken position in the village of Khirbet al-Zamala close to the Tishrin Dam.

Ceasefire between the SDF and the Jolani-Regime?
According to Ronahî TV some kind of agreement was made between the SDF and the Jolani-Regime in Damascus. Until further statement it remains unclear what conditions were agreed on. Fighting continues in the meantime on all fronts and earlier ceasefires have not led to an end of escalation.
