In a statement, the Swiss Climate Strike (Klimastreik Schweiz), emphasized that the people living in Northern Eastern Syria have been building a self-governing region based on grassroots democracy, women's freedom and social ecology values for the for last 10 years.

The statement said: "The gains of the Rojava Revolution have been under pressure from the very beginning. Rojava, which has been fighting against the Islamic State, is being invaded by Turkey today. There is an economic boycott against the region.

Since its last major military operation in 2019, Turkey's war strategy against Rojava has changed. Regular attacks are carried out by drones and artillery to give way to ground operations. The main purpose is to evacuate the region by wearing down the population of the region.”

The statement continued: “These attacks on Rojava have dire consequences for the civilian population. On 18 August this year, 5 children died as a result of the attack by a Turkish drone on a training center for girls supported by the United Nations.

The United States condemned the attack but also has air sovereignty over the region. That's why these attacks are allowed. There is a demand for a no-fly zone over Rojava against these attacks. And we support this demand."
