Northern Syrian Federation Constitutional Assembly Co-chair Hediye Yusuf spoke about the current situation in Afrin.

Yusuf called on the peoples of the world and said, “Don’t stay silent in the face of the crimes against humanity in Afrin.”

“WE WILL PUSH THE LOOTERS OUT OF OUR LANDS”

According to an article by Jinnews, Yusuf said the people of Afrin and the YPG/YPJ displayed an unprecedented resistance against the Turkish army and their gangs. Yusuf continued: “We are using a new method to ensure security for the people. The resistance in Afrin will never end. It will continue until Afrin is free from invaders and is safe again. Before the invasion, Afrin used to be a fairly safe region where peoples and colors lived together. After the attacks, the Turkish state and their gangs committed great massacres and started looting. With our unmatched struggle, we will push the looters out of our lands.”

“WE DID NOT BOW DOWN TO NEGOTIATIONS”

Yusuf said the Kurdish people continue to resist around the world and that the resistance will continue: “The Kurdish people have a will and strength, they continue their protests around the world and this resistance will be increased and continued. The Kurdish people are defending Afrin and they have faith in the YPG/YPJ. With the faith and hope of the Kurdish people behind us, we will take Afrin back from the patriarchal mind of the looters.”

Northern Syrian Federation Constitutional Assembly Co-chair Hediye Yusuf concluded her words by stating that international powers have made deals with Turkey according to their own interests: “There are negotiations made over the blood of Kurds. The Kurdish people have never bowed down to negotiations over their lives. Afrin never bowed down, and never will. The fight for freedom will prevail in Afrin.”
