“We will fight against the murderous regime for a free life of all Syrians”
“The identity of youth is an identity that rebels against injustice, injustice and oppression and is always in the midst of struggle against them. Throughout history, youth have led struggles against all systems with a dominant mentality and a slave mentality. The most recent and notable examples of this are the Vietnam War, the Arab Spring and the revolution led by women and youth in North- and Eastern Syria.
When the youth’s reflexes against the current massacres emerged, it was without distinction of race, nationality, religion, language and belief. When ISIS gangs attacked Kobanê, thousands of young people from different nations from all over the world came to Kobanê to put an end to this oppression. We see that such a spirit is preserved and lived in this region, dozens of young people from different nations and beliefs continue their resistance in Tishreen. This existing spirit should be even more widespread and grow today and spread to all regions of the Middle East, especially Syria.
Jolani who after the fall of the Baath regime came to power in Damascus, does not accept any color in Syria. He makes decisions about women and kills thousands of people from the Alawite sect. It destroys Christian cemeteries. Syria, which is a place of wealth, color, historical heritage and dozens of beliefs, is drying up and heading towards destruction. HTS wants to establish its own Sharia order by creating fear and terror in society. It aims to remove women from the public sphere, eliminate differences and silence those who want a free life.
Of course, the system that is being created is also a major attack on the Democratic Confederalism System that is currently being developed in North- and East Syria. The system that is tried being created now is a system of slavery, a system that is far from science, culture, history, art and philosophy and is lived only through blood and terror.
However, Kurds, Arabs, Armenians and Syriacs have lived together on these lands for centuries. The wealth of these lands has been strengthened and found itself through the existence and unity of these peoples. The unity of the people and the power of the youth, who fought ten years ago and did not surrender Kobanê to this poisonous ISIS mentality, will set an example for the whole of Syria today. Thousands of martyrs were sacrificed for these values. Young men and women fought heroically on the front lines to defend themselves and the existence of these peoples.
Making women and young people, who are the foundation of building society, objects and slaves means enslaving society. On this basis, as the Revolutionary Youth Movement, we will never accept a government that is not elected by the will of the people and does not include the people. Therefore, we declare that we will not accept the temporary Syrian government that includes Jolani and the leaders of the murderous gangs and we will fight against it in every field. We promise that we will not remain silent, we will resist, we will work and struggle in every field until a democratic and equal Syria is established. The truth of HTS and ISIS will be defeated again by the truth of women and youth, so we will resist until the end, protecting the values of the martyrs.
As the Revolutionary Youth Movement, we stand with the faiths and religions of Alawites, Druze, Christians and many other identities who are facing these practices. We say, “Long live the struggle for a free and democratic life of unity for all peoples.”
