In addition to the peoples of Syria and Kurdistan, internationalist fighters from all over the world participate in the resistance against the barbaric attacks of the invading Turkish army in the northern Syrian canton of Afrin. One of these fighters is the American Tolhildan Cîwan. Cîwan, who has already taken part in the "Operation Cizîrê Storm" for the liberation of Raqqa, has come to Afrin to take his place in the defense of civilians.

Speaking to ANHA news agency, internationalist fighter Cîwan emphasized that the Turkish state is using the bombing of Afrin to force the civilian population to emigrate. The international public decided to keep silence in the face of persistent attacks. Cîwan, who has resisted on the fronts of Rajo and Jindires in defense of the civilian population, indicated that the Turkish Air Force is deliberately bombing residential areas. He witnessed several times how dozens of civilians were killed by the bombing. To defend the right to life, together with other internationalist volunteers, he decided to join the Afrin resistance to protect the civilian population.
