ANF, KOBANÊ — Fighters of the YPJ (Women’s Protection Units) in Rojava, West Kurdistan, who are resisting against the ISIS gangs in Kobanê called on the world public to take to the streets on World Kobanê Day, 1 November, in solidarity with Kobanê.
The YPJ fighters have also made a call for 1st November, declared as a Day for Kobanê after the appeal signed by world renowned intellectuals. YPJ fighter Evrim said: “We are here and we are standing, you also stand up and resist”, while another YPJ fighter said: “I call on all humanity: Everyone must stand up for Kobanê”.
YPJ fighter Evrim stressed that the attacks of ISIS gangs are in fact attacks on humanity and called on everyone to struggle against these gangs. “I call on all the people of Kurdistan to stand up and to resist. Everyone must stand up against ISIS as ISIS is carrying out a war on humanity. We have to destroy them. We are here and standing, you also stand up and resist”, said Evrim.
Another YPJ fighter, Awaz, said that they were resisting at the frontline and everyone calling him/herself a human being must resist against these gangs wherever one is. “We are resisting here. And everyone must support this resistance. We want everyone to take to the streets on 1 November and to support Kobanê”, added Awaz.
Gerilla, another YPJ fighter, said: “I call on all humanity as a YPJ fighter: Everyone must stand up for Kobanê. We have to cleanse these lands of these gangs. I thank everyone for all they have done so far for Kobanê. But we have to do more. We want all the people around the world to stand up in solidarity with Kobanê as we fight here against a gang organisation that has declared war on humanity.”
Another YPJ fighter, Serhildan, also called on everyone to support Kobanê, saying: “we are resisting here as YPG and YPJ forces. We want everyone to be in solidarity with us, primarily the people from Kobanê”. Gulbahar also said: “We want everyone to struggle against these gangs with us hand in hand. We have to unite against this enemy and struggle together. We have to say ‘enough’ to all the things these gangs are committing.”
