“We cannot ensure justice for the people of Syria without a democratic project that embraces all Syrians,” said the MSD as it marks the 11th anniversary of the 19 July Revolution in Rojava.
The Syrian Democratic Council (MSD) released a statement on the occasion of the 11th anniversary of the 19 July Revolution in Rojava.
MSD pointed out that the 19 July Revolution represented the spirit and freedom of the Syrian peoples who rose up to build a new Syria free of repression, centralization and tyranny. This revolution, it said, proved to the whole world that the people of Syria have the power to change and build, and that no other power can break their will.
“From Kobanê to Manbij, from Raqqa to Deir ez-Zor and other regions, the children of North and East Syria made history against terror and triumphed. They proved themselves to lead and govern, and built the Autonomous Administration, which is the hope of all Syrians across the country,” said the MSD.
The statement continued: “We celebrate this national victory of all Syrians. The 19 July Revolution embraced the entire composition and established a bond between the spirit of patriotism with the Syrian national identity. As a barrier to any and all attacks directed against the security and sovereignty of the Syrian territories, and the unity of lands and peoples, the 19 July Revolution gave women the opportunity to play their role in their lives and fulfil their mission to rule in all spheres of life. It also encouraged young people to take part in the building and development of these experiences.”
Remarking that the 19 July Revolution won many gains, set a model for the future of the country and offered initiatives for the resolution of the crisis in Syria, MSD said: “We should focus on these initiatives, analyse them and utilize them as a search for a solution. We should produce solutions to realize our people’s hopes for change, democracy and diversity.”
The statement concluded: “After all these sacrifices, we cannot ensure justice for the people of Syria without a democratic project that embraces all Syrians. This democratic project will enable a solution to all the problems faced by the Kurdish people and other components. In addition, it will build a national circumstance free of exclusion and denial, and pave the way for building a new Syria with a civilized role.”
