As the resistance in Kobanê enters its 75th day, the people maintaining the border vigil in the villages of Mehser and Misaynter formed a human chain this morning, as they do every day.

The people joined hands and, after remembering those who have fallen in the struggle, shouted slogans in support of the resistance: "Bijî berxwedana YPG/YPJ" (long live the resistance of the YPG/YPJ) and "Biji Serok Apo" (Long live President Apo). One of those in the human chain was in a wheelchair.

From early in the morning the sound of intensive gunfire could be heard from Kobanê as the vigil continued in the villages along the border.
