Kobanê – Women of Kobanê said that the ongoing Turkey’s attacks targets the unity and resistance of the people and emphasized that they do not want to see Turkish jets in North and East Syria anymore.

“We condemn the silence”

Peace Mother Emine Eqil, one of the women of Kobanê, told NuJINHA that they will defend their region along with the fighters. “We trust our children and our own will. We will always stand by the fighters to protect our people, region and this revolution and we will never accept the attacks against us. We condemn the silence against the attacks on us,” she added.

“We will struggle for our lands”

Reacting to the silence of the international forces in the region against the attacks, Emine Eqil said, “They do not provide any protection for our people. We can protect and defend our region but why do they keep silent against those who target civilians? We strongly condemn their silence. The rights of the Kurdish people are always violated and their lands are occupied. There are thousands of displaced people now. But we will not leave our lands and struggle to the end. We will struggle for our lands. The organization of women and society is also the strongest weapon.”

“We do not accept the silence”

Zozan Xelil, another woman living in Kobanê, highlighted that the leaders of their society are targeted and killed by the Turkish state. “They keep attacking the people in North and East Syria because they cannot stand the organization of the people. Why do other states remain silent? Why do not they speak out against the ongoing attacks? We do not accept the silence against the attacks. We will always stand by our fighters and never leave our lands. YPJ and YPG are our defense forces and everyone should accept this. We will always stand by them."
