Me bi dilêşî û xemgînîyeke mezin agahîya koça dawî ya Endamê Desteya Hevserokatîya PYDê Salih Muslim bihîst. Bavê Welat, bavê şehîdekî, dostekî nêz, pêşengekî mezin, sîyastmedar û welatparêzekî Kurd yê hêja bû. Di 40 salên borî de rolekî mezin di têkoşîna azadîya gelê Kurd de lîst û gelek caran ji alîyê rêjîma Baasê ve hat girtin û sorgunkirin. Herwiha, bavê Welat di şoreşa Rojavayê Kurdistanê de rolekî pêşeng lîst. Em ê şopa şehîdê doza gelê Kurd bavê Welat dewam bikin heta hêvîyên wî bicih bînin. Serê malbatê, PYD û yê gelê Kurd sax be.

Statement from the General Command of the Syrian Democratic Forces To our resilient people: Since 6 January, our regions and our people have been directly subjected to brutal and barbaric attacks. In the face of these assaults, our fighters are resisting with courage and great sacrifice, continuing their struggle with dignity and honour. Today, the Turkish state and its mercenaries, who carry the mentality of the ISIS organisation, are escalating their attacks on our people, believing that they can break our will and crush our resistance. We affirm, with firm resolve and unwavering determination, that just as our comrades waged a historic resistance in Kobane in 2014 and turned Kobane into a graveyard for ISIS, which was supported by Turkey, today—with the same will—we declare that we will turn our cities, from Derik to Hasakah and Kobane, into a graveyard for the new bearers of the ISIS mentality, whose movements are directed and orchestrated by the Turkish state. On this basis, we issue a call to all our youth—women and men—in Rojava, Bakur, Bashur, and Rojhilat of Kurdistan, as well as in Europe, to unite together, break the borders imposed by the occupiers, and join the ranks of the resistance. Today is the day of dignity. Today is the day of historical responsibility. And today, once again, we affirm that the will of peoples is stronger than all forms of attack and occupation. 19 January 2026

Alarming escalation in Aleppo: heavy artillery, drones, and tanks in use. 8 killed and 60 wounded so far in Al-Ashrafieh and Sheikh Maqsoud. Kurds and other communities face grave danger.
Scenes of destruction from the shelling by Damascus government factions on residential buildings in the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood of Aleppo, which has been ongoing for three days.

The Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES) issues statement in light of escalating violence in Aleppo: daanes.org/en/statement-to-p…
The UK Representation to the Syrian Democratic Council expresses serious concern over the escalating violence in Kurdish-majority neighbourhoods of northern Aleppo, which has led to civilian harm and forced displacement at a sensitive juncture for Syria. We urge all parties to cease hostilities, pursue dialogue, and uphold their obligations to protect civilians under international humanitarian law. Lasting stability in Syria depends on restraint and political solutions. We are closely following the situation as it develops.

Deeply concerned by clashes in northern Aleppo, civilian casualties and displacement at a time when stabilising Syria is so important. 🇬🇧 calls for immediate de-escalation, dialogue and the protection of civilians. We continue to monitor the situation closely.

Ministry of Defense of the Syrian Interim Government has announced war on the heavily populated neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh, a war of extermination against the Kurds who has been subjected to oppression by the previous regime. The majority of the neighborhood's residents are Afrini IDPs. These two neighborhoods were already under a suffocating siege by factions affiliated with the Ministry of Defense. Although the authorities of the neighborhoods have adhered to the April 1st agreement, the interim government has not. We have made substantial efforts to engage in the negotiations, but the Ministry of Defense refuses dialogue. We call upon the officials of the government to assume their responsibilities for what is happening in the neighborhoods and to pursue a realistic and sustainable resolution for the problems through dialogue, avoiding war and violence. The Syrian people have suffered enough from wars. We urge all Syrians, especially Syrian youth, to reject violence, stand for justice, and renounce war.

As the UK Representation to the Syrian Democratic Council, we express deep concern over the violent suppression of peaceful protests across Syria. The use of excessive force and live weapons against civilians is unacceptable and undermines any path to national dialogue. Syria’s diversity is a source of strength, not division. Accountability, dialogue, and a democratic, decentralised Syria are essential.
Statement on the Suppression of Peaceful Protests in Central Syria and the Coastal Regions The SDC is closely and responsibly following the popular movements and peaceful protests that have... m-syria-d.com/en/?p=8405 #Coastal_Regions_of_Syria #Central_Syria #Peaceful_Protests
