New "Statement on Recent Developments in Syria", from the Syrian Democratic Forces alliance (which includes YPG, YPJ, Army of Revolutionaries, MFS and many others), on that
"This week has witnessed a large-scale attack and substantial shifts have happened. Damascus government forces have deteriorated in Aleppo and other regions. It is no doubt that this attack is orchestrated by the Turkish occupation state, with the ultimate goal of occupying the entire Syrian territory. However, the primary target of this attack remains the areas under the Autonomous Administration to prevent the peaceful coexistence of the region’s diverse peoples, including Kurds, Arabs, Syriacs, and other communities."
Video shared via PJAK to say that despite disinformation rumors, things are fine in Şêx Maqsud, despite Turkey's "jihadist" auxiliaries and rebranded regional al-Qaeda having conquered most of the rest Aleppo.
Oh, also, the political party PKK and its militias HPG & YJA-Star, which they point at in there, has been following the Geneva Conventions since 1995 (=no terrorism) and the YPG, which together with YPJ are the militias of the political party PYD (≠PKK), has never been found to commit terrorism, or attack Turkey in any way at all.
"Internally displaced people from Shehba said that some of them have been forced to leave for the third time since the beginning of the Syrian war. Nevertheless, the women interviewed are determined to resist. [...] Fatma Naso has been displaced for the third time. She comes from Aleppo and fled to Afrin at the beginning of the Syrian crisis to escape the increasing attacks by HTS's predecessor organization, Jabhat al-Nusra (al-Qaeda Syria). In 2018, she was forced to flee from Afrin to Shehba to escape the invasion of the Turkish army and jihadist mercenaries. On 2 December, she had to flee again." https://anfenglish.com/rojava-syria/displaced-women-of-shehba-we-will-continue-to-resist-76674
In München/Munich, S Germany yesterday. One of many demos recently both in Germany and elsewhere worldwide against Erdoğan's imperialist invasion "jihadist" auxiliaries' recent aggression with rebranded regional al-Qaeda against the autonomous North and East of Syria (NES, a.k.a. "Rojava") as well as elsewhere in Syria including many atrocities so far already targeting primarily minorities, which also enabled the several recent resurgence efforts by ISIL/Daesh, externally primarily armed and otherwise aided by USA and Germany.
From @YPJ_Info (elsewhere) this morning: ───── Eye-witnesses recounting atrocities against civilians in #Shehba. An elderly women states that she saw a women being beheaded. [...]
SDF yesterday stated that around 15.000 people are still forcefully being held in Shehba by the militias, not allowed access to food, water or shelter. #YesterdayInShengalTodayInShehba
This morning mecernaries have intensified their attacks on Manbij, now attacking with heavy weaponry. #DefendRojava ─────
The people trying to flee as the rebranded regional al-Qaeda (HTS) and Turkey's "jihadist" auxiliaries approached for conquest of Homs, W Syria, after recently committing mass-atrocities elsewhere:
"Local fighters in Daraa give Syrian forces 48 hours to withdraw" https://npasyria.com/en/118873/ 48 hours? Recall how much has happened in this context within the recent past 48 hours... That deadline may be cut short by the rebranded al-Qaeda and Turkey-backed pals arriving, unless they start attacking SDF and refuse backing off, like the morons in ISIL/Daesh did with Kobane until they had lost so much that they... lost, everything.
Fighting continues between the dickheads of retreating military of crimes against humanity dictator al-Assad running away whilst Turkey's systematic war crimes "jihadist" auxiliaries with rebranded "former" regional al-Qaeda (HTS) keep advancing while also being hit by many airstrikes. Here's reportedly HTS at Hama this morning:
In more positive news, because the forces of Turkey's imperialist war of aggression have now stretched themselves thinly due to their advances because al-Assad's forces keep running away, that has now enabled the locals in the Afrin Liberation Forces to launch an assault trying to liberate their homes in and around Afrin from the occupation by Turkey and its "jihadist" auxiliaries back to being part of the autonomous North and East Syria (a.k.a. "Rojava"), with heavy fighting this morning:
Latest on Turkey's "jihadist" auxiliaries and rebranded regional al-Qaeda's current conquest campaign in Syria and defense against that (or lack thereof):

I believe reporting about events as accurately as possible helps move the world in a positive direction.I believe voluntary mutual aid is better than imposed mutual destruction.Resistance to oppression is inherent to all life.Liberation can not be imposed no matter how well intended, as that only changes whose will is imposed on others.Visually impaired.
