The People’s Councils of the Hililiye and Ashuri neighborhoods in Qamishlo announced the creation of seven new self-defense battalions affiliated with the HPC.
In a statement, the People's Councils emphasized: "With the slogan ‘We will organize in every village, street, neighborhood, and city,’ we will take the achievements of the revolution toward a democratic way of life. We declare our will to stand against the invaders through self-defense."
During the ceremony, flags of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the People’s Protection Units (YPG), and the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) were displayed, and participants chanted slogans in support of the resistance.
Meanwhile, in Qermani, a subdistrict of Dirbesiye in the Cizre Canton, the HPC announced their participation in the general mobilization declared by the SDF and the Autonomous Administration. This initiative comes in response to attacks carried out by the Turkish state and its proxies.
In a statement, the HPC saluted the historic resistance led by the SDF against the attacks, and issued an appeal to all communities, and in particular to young people and women, calling on them to organize and increase their struggle.
