Euphrates Canton Water Directorate co-chair Mesûd Bozê spoke about the current situation at Tishrin Dam, saying that "because of the attacks by the Turkish state, we are currently unable to supply water and electricity from the dam to Euphrates Canton."
The Turkish state and its proxies have continued to attack the Tishrin Dam and other areas in Northern and Eastern Syria for over a month. As a result of these attacks on one of the region’s main sources of water and electricity, a large portion of the Euphrates Canton is experiencing power and water shortages.
In response to these attacks, the people of Northern and Eastern Syria have been protesting at the Tishrin Dam for the past four days. They want to protect the dam and the region's resources.
The Turkish state and its proxies have been bombing the vicinity of the Tishrin Dam daily, using drones and fighter jets. The dam is at great risk of collapse.
Mesûd Bozê, co-chair of the Euphrates Canton Water Directorate is participating in the vigil to protect the dam together with hundreds of other citizens. He spoke to ANHA about the current status of the dam, and said: ''The water and electricity needs of the city of Kobanê, in particular, are provided by the Euphrates River. Therefore, there is a significant problem right now. There is water, but it has been cut off due to the attacks."
