The President of the Kobanê Canton, Enver Müslim, spoke to ANHA (Hawar News Agency) about the visit he together with PYD (Democratic Union Party) Representative Xerib Hiso made to South Kurdistan this week after attending a conference organized by the Middle East Institute in Sulaymaniyah.

Müslim said that during the Conference which witnessed a satisfactory participation they highlighted the consequences revealed by the Kobanê resistance against ISIS terror.

Müslim called attention to the positive atmosphere in South Kurdistan, noting that their prime agenda focused on ways and methods of solidarity with Kobanê against attacks by ISIS gangs.

Müslim continued, putting emphasis on the efforts and fight given by women in Rojava protecting themselves against the attacks of ISIS gangs, noting that the battle of the YPG and YPJ fighters also eliminated the repression imposed on women by the male-dominant mindset of ISIS gangs.

Regarding the talks and meetings in South Kurdistan, Müslim said they were able to meet and get in touch with many circles from Kurdistan and the world. "Dimensions of the fight against ISIS and the Middle East obstacle to solidarity with Kobanê were discussed during the talks we held. Many circles want the ending of the attacks on Kobanê. We obtained a promise for logistic, military and humanitarian support."

The President of the Kobanê Canton also remarked that many circles sided with the realization of a National Congress, adding; "The Kobanê resistance has created a positive approach among all Kurdistani circles. We felt proud of this situation which I believe will have a positive influence on the future as well."

Regarding the situation of the local people in Kobanê, Müslim said ISIS gangs were now attacking civilians with mortars after suffering a defeat in the fighting with YPG forces. "Opening of a corridor for humanitarian aid still stands before us as a very important matter", he said, adding that they had also called attention to this urgent need during both the conference and talks in South Kurdistan.
