In the last days the fascist Turkish state is intensifiying it’s attacks on Rojava and especially on Kobanê. Erdogans goal is not just to gain territory, but to destroy our visions of socialism, women’s liberation and the unity of the people.

This is why Kobane is a strategical target for him. We must remember that Kobane is the symbol of the Women’s Revolution, and according to this we have to strengthen our struggle.
Let’s resist with the self-sacrificing and powerful spirit of Şehîd Arîn Mîrkan until victory!

https://t.me/thefreeonline/1569
In the canton of Minbic, a fragile ceasefire is in place following intense fighting between SDF & the Turkish-backed SNA. In the morning, fierce fighting broke out again around the Tischrin Dam. Turkish drones are also said to have been used in the fighting. Local sources report protests against the Turkish occupation & its militias in the city.
In recent days, there have been increasing reports of executions & looting in the regions where the SNA has taken control. Fighters have also repeatedly appeared with the flag of the so-called Islamic State.
An ambulance from the Kobanê hospital (Syrian Kurdistan) on the Sarrin-Tishreen Dam road has been shelled by the Turks, killing the driver and a passenger, and seriously injuring a nurse and another person.
At the same time, the self-administration (DAANES) strengthened its position for negotiations & a democratization of the whole of Syria. The self-administration announced that it would hoist the new flag of the Syrian Republic above all its institutions.
Meanwhile, transitional government was formed in Damascus by HTS, which is to remain in office until March.

SKY NEWS Interview
As the country struggles to emerge from the darkness and brutality of the Assad regime many groups are vying for position in this new reality – and it is in that space that Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is trying to gather strength.
One of the most important figures in this region is General Abdi Mazloum, the commander-in-chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
He is warning the West that ISIS is already trying to exploit the turmoil.
General Mazloum says the clashes with Turkish-backed groups are making it more difficult to concentrate on stopping ISIS from regenerating.
“At the moment, joint operations against ISIS are halted. This is not a decision but rather a military reality, as the coalition is also preoccupied with the ongoing conflict. Therefore, I stress that if these attacks persist, joint operations will remain suspended,” he says.
He also warns that it’s possible that ISIS prisoners kept in detention camps and prisons could escape in the chaos.
