YJA Star and HPG guerrillas speak about the importance of 4 April

YJA Star and HPG guerrillas spoke about the importance of 4 April, the birthday of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan, and said, "it is the day of rebirth."

YJA Star guerrilla Beritan Haki defined the birth of the Kurdish People's Leader as the birth day of all peoples, especially women, and added: "For us women, the leader has become the eyes that see and the ears that hear. Thanks to the leader, we got to know the slavery that has been imposed on us for thousands of years, and we fought to get rid of it. The leader has set before us the possibility to fight slavery and the backwardness imposed on women."


Guerrilla Beritan continued by saying that: "Our leader has been resisting with great sacrifice under the Imrali isolation system for 24 years. The Imrali isolation system is the prototype of the state system. In this sense, April 4 is the rebirth of women and different beliefs into hope in the face of all state systems."

‘The most meaningful birth’

HPG guerrilla Bager Kurdistan described the birth of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan as the “most meaningful birth”, stating that with the birth of the Kurdish People's Leader, the Kurdish people re-emerged with both their history and their language.


YJA Star guerrilla Zilan Aydın said: "4 April is the day of rebirth. It is the birth of women and peoples. We welcome this day with great enthusiasm and joy. The fact that the leader is not with us today is the biggest self-criticism for us. Our leader has been kept in the Imrali isolation system for 25 years in the most severe conditions. There is great resistance in the Media Defense Areas. We will continue our struggle to ensure freedom in this century."

'Our roots are in the mountains'

YJA Star guerrilla Eylem Cudi stated that she fought as a woman against colonization, plunder and fascism in the mountains and added: "The birthday of our leader gives us morale. Our leader is our most basic morale source, our centre of strength. We are resisting for humanity against the inhumane practices of colonialism and fascism. We are fighting to save the dignity of humanity."


Guerrilla Cudi continued: "We, women, learned to resist from the Leader. The aim is to create a hopeful, beautiful life for all peoples, for the whole world. The leader is the force that revives hope in us. Our leader says that our roots are in the mountains. We find it very meaningful to resist in the mountains. We are following in the leader's footsteps."

YJA Star guerrilla Berbang Şeval stated that they got their will and resistance power from Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan, and added: "The way to achieve victory is to make the ideas of the leader ours. Our promise is to turn this year into a year of victory."
