24.01. – 21:00 CET PEOPLE IN KOBANÊ ARE FACING GENOCIDE
People in Kobanê are facing a Genocide
Ferhan Hec Îsa, Co-Chair of the Autonomous Administration Executive Council, is calling for the blockades of Kobanê to be lifted in order to prevent an imminent genocide of the people of Kobanê. For days, there has been a shortage of food and medicine.
Electricity, internet and water supplies have also been cut off. Adding to that, there is not enough space for the many refugees from the surrounding regions, some of whom are forced to stay and sleep outdoors in the snow and cold.
The number of children who died due to the conditions has risen to 6. People are melting snow to have water.
Hec Isa is calling on everyone who supports the people of Kobanê and stands up for humanitarian values, as well as international powers and humanitarian aid organizations, to intervene in Kobanê now.
Military preparations being carried out by the regime in Damascus are completely contrary to its proclaimed promises
In his statement the SDF fighter is once again making clear that the SDF are struggling to reach and end of the war. While the Jolani-Regime is speaking about a ceasefire of 15 days and giving immense promises especially to the Kurdish people, the reality is the opposite: Kobanê is under siege and attacks continue in the Kobanê countryside. The HTS forces of the regime as well as ISIS and other jihadist groups under the leadership of the Turkish State, are reinforcing their troops and heavy weaponry in the Hasakah countryside. Their war crimes are recorded on video daily. While they are trying to fool the public the war continues.
ISIS members escaped from prisons
After the handover of al-Aqtan prison to HTS-Regime, following the six-day-standoff with SDF-Fighters resisting all kinds of attacks, HTS released inmates that were held in al-Aqtan because of their affiliation with ISIS.
In total there are now more than 1600 members of ISIS that where let go or escaped as an direct result of the attacks of military groups from the the Damascus controlled forces. Also at Al-Hol camp the remaining ISIS affiliates and families are trying to escape and gunshots can be heard.Due to the severe cold in Rojava and the ongoing siege, 4 children have died. The blockade continues to be enforced by HTS, the Turkish state, and ISIS fighters. In addition, the situation is also worsening due to mass migration to Rojava and Kobaně out of fear of the jihadists in the surrounding regions.
Ongoing protest actions worldwide

protests are continuing vigorously
Protests are continuing vigorously even against repression in Europe and many cities of Kurdistan.
The police is attacking Rojava protests in North-Kurdistan. Many detentions and
violence against DEM-Party members were documented. Today 10 thousands took to the streets all over the world. Many continue their way to Rojava from all parts of Kurdistan and Europe and convoys reached Hasakah today.
Former ISIS gangs are now openly active in the Deir ez-Zor region
Following the takeover of the regime in Deir ez-Zor, intense pressure and repression is being applied against the local population.
Additionally, the reviving ISIS gangs are now openly active and moving in the area. The HTS has withdrawn its forces to the center of Deir ez-Zor and leaves the rural areas to ISIS and other jihadist forces.
With a lot of ISIS-prisons falling into the hand of the regime in the last week, at least 1600 ISIS fighters escaped with the threat of many more escaping and getting active again.
