The YPJ General Command issued a statement calling on everyone to raise their voices in defense of Rojava.

The statement said: "Certain jihadist groups, affiliated with the Turkish occupation and entities like Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), orchestrated and supported by international powers, entered Damascus unchallenged. The 61-year-old Ba'ath regime collapsed within a mere 12 days. This swift downfall can be attributed to the regime's rigid adherence to the status quo and its failure to address fundamental issues, particularly the Kurdish case. Had the Assad administration pursued a path of democratization, this would not have emerged today.

The apparent victory of the jihadists, as they advance towards Damascus, is likely to be short-lived. The new Syria that emerges from this ideology risks becoming another Afghanistan. Syria, throughout history, has been a home to diverse ethnic and religious communities. We observe with astonishment how certain groups, who do not know the meaning of the Sharia, embracing this radical ideology, disregarding the complexities of Syrian society and the potential for widespread violence.

The Turkish state bears primary responsibility for the 13-year conflict endured by the Syrian people. Over this period, the Turkish state and its mercenaries have repeatedly attacked the regions of north and eastern Syria. The current attack on these regions, which were established on the principles of women's freedom, is being carried out by ISIS-linked groups under the guise of the so-called "national army." Led by the Women's Protection Units (YPJ), our forces liberated these areas from the scourge of ISIS, transforming the region into an oasis of hope and stability where diverse ethnic and ideological communities coexist peacefully. However, our region remains a target for Turkish occupation and its mercenaries. These territories, defended under the leadership of the Women's Protection Units, the Women's Army, and the Syrian Democratic Forces, now face renewed threats from ISIS and the Republic of Turkey."

The statement added: "The Kurds, Arab, Druze, Armenian, and Assyrian-Syriac peoples, who fought alongside us against ISIS and the Turkish Republic, are now at significant risk. These diverse groups, integral components of the Autonomous Administration, are being targeted by Turkish intelligence, which wants to reach some tribes and try to stir up strife and incite peoples against each other, particularly in the regions of Raqqa, Tabqa, and Deir Ezzor. As the Women's Protection Units, we urge our entire society, especially Arab women, to resist these provocations and avoid being drawn into these destructive schemes.

In addition to these dangerous attacks, Turkish intelligence, MIT, is plotting to attack Al-Hol camp and prisons under our control, where ISIS detainees are held captive.

The release of some ISIS members from prisons vacated by the HTS has heightened the threat of ISIS resurgence in our region. The risk of Syria falling under the control of ISIS or ISIS-aligned groups is significantly elevated. Today, ISIS seeks to legitimize itself under different names as a project of the occupying Turkish Republic. This strategy aims to entrust the fate of the region to the world's most reactionary forces. However, as a beacon of hope for the people of the region and humanity, Rojava will continue its resolute resistance, led by the YPJ, escalating the struggle for women and peoples."

The statement continued: "We face a historical responsibility on all fronts. The ultimate goal of the attacks launched by the Turkish Republic and its Syrian National Army (SNA), essentially ISIS gangs, against Tal Rifa’at, Manbij, and now Kobani, is the occupation and annexation of the entirety of Rojava. We therefore call upon the world's peoples and women to raise their voices and fulfill their responsibility to counter these terrorist attacks, which threaten all of humanity.

Today, the YPJ is resisting attacks by ISIS mercenaries, directly affiliated with the Turkish state, across all regions. We will continue this resistance until the end.

While global powers commend the YPJ's resistance, today, more than praise, there is a pressing need to expand the ranks of resistance globally and escalate the struggle everywhere to halt the attacks of the fascist Turkish Republic and hold it accountable."
