Documentary about People's Resistance in KobanĂȘ: Life in War

🔾 Following Assad's fall in December 2024, the Turkish state and its mercenaries intensified its attacks on the autonomous administration of north-eastern Syria.

🔾The situation was uncertain, but the people were prepared for anything. This was particularly evident in KobanĂȘ, where the Tishreen Dam had been attacked, leaving the city without a water and electricity supply for several months.

🔾This documentary reflects on the situation and the people's resistance, led particularly by women, young people, and the people's self-administered structures. With fewer opportunities, but with a collective spirit, the people employed the strategy of a Revolutionary People's War.

# ABDULLAH ÖCALAN PROPOSAL FOR SDF DISARMAMENT

On November 24, Abdullah Ocalan proposed a plan for the integration of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) into the Syrian Ministry of Defense (MoD) to Turkish parliament members engaged in the PKK disarmament dialogue. This plan stipulates that the SDF should join the Syrian military while retaining its own internal security apparatus.
This announcement represents the first call from Ocalan for the SDF to assimilate into the Syrian military structure while preserving its internal security forces. In February 2025, Ocalan asserted that “all [PKK] groups must lay [down] their arms,” a statement interpreted by Turkish officials as a directive for the SDF to disarm and integrate into the Syrian transitional government under the MoD.
SDF Commander Mazloum Abdi asserted that it “applies solely to the PKK [and is not] applicable to our situation in Syria.” Ocalan’s newly articulated vision aligns more closely with Abdi’s advocacy for a decentralized Syrian state, allowing the SDF to maintain local security governance in northeastern Syria.

# AKP PUSH FOR SDF TO HAND OVER STRATEGICAL ASSETS

On December 2, an AKP spokeperson indicated that Turkey may reassess its classification of the SDF as a “terrorist organization,” at the condition that SDF hands over critical resources and infrastructure to the Syrian government as part of its reintegration into the Syrian state.
The spokesperson also stated that the SDF would effectively “cease to be a threat to Turkey and a terrorist organization” if it submits control of strategic assets—including airports, border crossings, and oil fields—to the Syrian government.
This transfer of pivotal resources and infrastructure is a strategic maneuver to undermine the SDF's influence in NES, as it would restrict it's access to the Turkish border and curtail its revenue streams from oil operations. Both Turkey and the Syrian government have asserted that the SDF must fully integrate into the Syrian state by year’s end. A potential shift in Turkey’s threat assessment could imply that Turkey may be anticipating the SDF's adherence to the March 10 agreement.

# SUWEIDA NATIONAL GUARD CARRIES OUT POLITICAL ARRESTS, KILLINGS AND TORTURE OF PROMINENT DRUZE FIGURES

On November 28, the Suwayda National Guard executed a series of arrests and killings targeting notable Druze figures within Suweida Province. The Druze militia coalition apprehended ten individuals, accusing them of organizing a “conspiracy” in cooperation with the Syrian transitional government. Among those arrested were several influential figures of the Druze community.
On November 29, members of the Suweida National Guard recorded acts of torture against Sheikh Matni. His corpse, displaying evident signs of torture, was delivered to the entrance of Suweida City Hospital on December 2. Sheikh Matni had played a pivotal role in establishing the Suweida Military Council in February 2025, a Druze militia that confronted transitional government forces amid the intercommunal violence of July 2025. Matni maintained a close relationship with Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri; however, tensions arose following Matni's opposition to Hijri’s initiative to form the Suweida National Guard. Pro-government sources claim that Matni was arrested for advocating a negotiated settlement with the Syrian transitional government.

# ONE YEAR AFTER THE FALL OF BASHAR AL-ASSAD

December 8 will mark one year since the fall of the Assad regime. Many celebrations have already taken place in Syria. On December 6, the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) issued a decree forbidding celebrations on the 7th and 8th of the month. The decree stipulated that the decision was made for security reasons, citing the recent rise in terrorist attacks.
While it is true that the recent decision of the Syrian transitional government to join the anti-ISIS coalition has bolstered Islamist group activities, it is likely that the AANES's decision to forbid celebrations for the first anniversary of the fall of Assad is motivated by a desire to maintain public order. The deadline for the negotiations regarding AANES and SDF integration into the Syrian state is approaching. In these times of tension, the AANES might be attempting to avoid protests that would oppose its governance in Northeast Syria, thereby impacting its capacity to defend its right to autonomy.

# CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENTS

- Former senior Assad regime officials are funding and equipping clandestine networks in Syria to conduct insurgent activity against the Syrian transitional government. Many of the fighters organized by those senior Assad regime officials are "ghost soldiers," lacking genuine loyalty and primarily seeking financial support.
- On December 3, the Syrian General Security Service (GSS) confiscated multiple improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and various munitions from an ISIS safe house located near Damascus. This operation is part of ongoing counter-ISIS efforts of the syrian government, which have dismantled several ISIS IED manufacturing sites in the region.
- On November 27 and 28, ISIS claimed responsibility for three attacks within Syrian government-controlled territory. This marks the group's first acknowledgment of attacks in this region since May 2025, likely answering to Syria's recent decision to join the Global Coalition Against ISIS.

Faits marquants de la semaine du 1er au 7 décembre 2025

Proposition d'Abdullah Öcalan pour le dĂ©sarmement des FDS:
Le 24 novembre, Abdullah Öcalan a prĂ©sentĂ© aux parlementaires turcs engagĂ©s dans le dialogue sur le dĂ©sarmement du PKK un plan d'intĂ©gration des Forces dĂ©mocratiques syriennes (FDS) au sein du ministĂšre syrien de la DĂ©fense. Ce plan prĂ©voit l'intĂ©gration des FDS Ă  l'armĂ©e syrienne tout en prĂ©servant leurs propres forces de sĂ©curitĂ© intĂ©rieure.

Cette annonce constitue le premier appel lancĂ© par Öcalan Ă  l'assimilation des FDS Ă  la structure militaire syrienne, tout en maintenant leurs forces de sĂ©curitĂ© intĂ©rieure. En fĂ©vrier 2025, Öcalan avait affirmĂ© que « tous les groupes [du PKK] doivent dĂ©poser les armes », une dĂ©claration interprĂ©tĂ©e par les autoritĂ©s turques comme une injonction faite aux FDS de dĂ©sarmer et de s'intĂ©grer au gouvernement de transition syrien sous l'Ă©gide du ministĂšre de la DĂ©fense.

Le commandant des FDS, Mazloum Abdi, a quant Ă  lui affirmĂ© que cette dĂ©claration « ne concerne que le PKK et n'est pas applicable Ă  notre situation en Syrie ». La vision nouvellement formulĂ©e par Öcalan s'aligne davantage sur le plaidoyer d'Abdi en faveur d'un État syrien dĂ©centralisĂ©, permettant aux FDS de maintenir leur gouvernance sĂ©curitaire locale dans le nord-est de la Syrie.

L'AKP fait pression sur les FDS pour qu'elles cÚdent leurs actifs stratégiques:
Le 2 dĂ©cembre, un porte-parole de l'AKP a indiquĂ© que la Turquie pourrait reconsidĂ©rer sa classification des FDS comme « organisation terroriste Â», Ă  condition que ces derniĂšres cĂšdent des ressources et infrastructures essentielles au gouvernement syrien dans le cadre de leur rĂ©intĂ©gration Ă  l'État syrien.

Le porte-parole a Ă©galement dĂ©clarĂ© que les FDS cesseraient de fait de « constituer une menace pour la Turquie et d'ĂȘtre une organisation terroriste Â» si elles remettaient le contrĂŽle d'actifs stratĂ©giques – notamment des aĂ©roports, des points de passage frontaliers et des champs pĂ©troliers – au gouvernement syrien.

Ce transfert de ressources et d'infrastructures vitales est une manƓuvre stratĂ©gique visant Ă  saper l'influence des FDS dans le nord-est de la Syrie, car il restreindrait leur accĂšs Ă  la frontiĂšre turque et rĂ©duirait leurs revenus issus de l'exploitation pĂ©troliĂšre. La Turquie et le gouvernement syrien ont tous deux affirmĂ© que les FDS devaient ĂȘtre pleinement intĂ©grĂ©es Ă  l'État syrien d'ici la fin de l'annĂ©e. Un changement potentiel dans l'Ă©valuation de la menace par la Turquie pourrait indiquer que celle-ci anticipe le respect par les FDS de l'accord du 10 mars.

La Garde nationale de Soueïda procÚde à des arrestations politiques, des assassinats et des actes de torture contre des personnalités druzes:
Le 28 novembre, la Garde nationale de SoueĂŻda a procĂ©dĂ© Ă  une sĂ©rie d'arrestations et d'assassinats visant des personnalitĂ©s druzes importantes dans la province de SoueĂŻda. La coalition de milices druzes a apprĂ©hendĂ© dix personnes, les accusant d'avoir organisĂ© un « complot » en coopĂ©ration avec le gouvernement de transition syrien. Parmi les personnes arrĂȘtĂ©es figuraient plusieurs personnalitĂ©s influentes de la communautĂ© druze.

Le 29 novembre, des membres de la Garde nationale de SoueĂŻda ont enregistrĂ© des actes de torture contre le cheikh Matni. Son corps, portant des traces Ă©videntes de torture, a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©posĂ© Ă  l'entrĂ©e de l'hĂŽpital municipal de SoueĂŻda le 2 dĂ©cembre. Cheikh Matni avait jouĂ© un rĂŽle dĂ©terminant dans la crĂ©ation du Conseil militaire de SoueĂŻda en fĂ©vrier 2025, une milice druze qui s'Ă©tait opposĂ©e aux forces du gouvernement de transition lors des violences intercommunautaires de juillet 2025. Matni entretenait des relations Ă©troites avec Cheikh Hikmat al-Hijri ; toutefois, des tensions sont apparues suite Ă  l'opposition de Matni Ă  l'initiative de Hijri visant Ă  former la Garde nationale de SoueĂŻda. Des sources progouvernementales affirment que Matni a Ă©tĂ© arrĂȘtĂ© pour avoir plaidĂ© en faveur d'un rĂšglement nĂ©gociĂ© avec le gouvernement de transition syrien.

Un an aprĂšs la chute de Bachar el-Assad:
Le 8 décembre marquera le premier anniversaire de la chute du régime d'Assad. De nombreuses célébrations ont déjà eu lieu en Syrie. Le 6 décembre, l'Administration autonome du Nord et de l'Est de la Syrie (AANES) a publié un décret interdisant les festivités les 7 et 8 décembre. Le décret stipulait que cette décision était motivée par des raisons de sécurité, notamment la recrudescence des attaques terroristes.

S'il est vrai que la rĂ©cente dĂ©cision du gouvernement de transition syrien de rejoindre la coalition anti-Daech a renforcĂ© les activitĂ©s des groupes islamistes, il est probable que la dĂ©cision de l'AANES d'interdire les commĂ©morations du premier anniversaire de la chute d'Assad soit motivĂ©e par le souci du maintien de l'ordre public. L'Ă©chĂ©ance des nĂ©gociations concernant l'intĂ©gration de l'AANES et des FDS Ă  l'État syrien approche. Dans ce contexte tendu, l'AANES pourrait chercher Ă  Ă©viter les manifestations qui contesteraient son autoritĂ© dans le nord-est de la Syrie et compromettraient ainsi sa capacitĂ© Ă  dĂ©fendre son droit Ă  l'autonomie.

Évolution de la situation :
- D'anciens hauts responsables du rĂ©gime d'Assad financent et Ă©quipent des rĂ©seaux clandestins en Syrie pour mener des activitĂ©s insurrectionnelles contre le gouvernement de transition syrien. Nombre de combattants organisĂ©s par ces mĂȘmes responsables sont des « soldats fantĂŽmes Â», dĂ©pourvus de loyautĂ© vĂ©ritable et recherchant avant tout un soutien financier. Le 3 dĂ©cembre, les services de sĂ©curitĂ© gĂ©nĂ©raux syriens (GSS) ont saisi plusieurs engins explosifs improvisĂ©s (EEI) et diverses munitions dans une planque de l'EI situĂ©e prĂšs de Damas.

Die Welt ruft wieder nach der „Zwei-Staaten-Lösung“ im Nahen Osten
als wĂŒrde mehr Staat automatisch mehr Frieden bedeuten.
Doch Staaten lösen keine WidersprĂŒche; sie zementieren Grenzen,
identitÀr, territorial, historisch.

Vielleicht liegt die Alternative lÀngst vor uns:
der kurdische Weg des Demokratischen Konföderalismus.
Keine Trennung, keine ethnische Logik, kein SouverĂ€n ĂŒber Menschen,
sondern Selbstverwaltung, Föderationen von unten,
Gemeinschaft statt Mauer, Autonomie statt Herrschaft.

Nicht zwei Staaten nebeneinander,
sondern viele Gesellschaften miteinander.

Rojava zeigt:
Frieden ist kein Vertrag,
sondern eine Praxis.

RE: systemli.social/@solardarity_r

Rojava — zwischen Ruinen, Wunden und Linien der Gewalt — lĂ€sst etwas entstehen, das Staaten verlernt haben: Versöhnung, Zuhören, gemeinsame Verantwortung. Nicht laut, nicht heroisch, sondern im Stillen – und real.

FĂŒr viele ist Rojava lĂ€ngst mehr als ein Ort: eine Alternative zur Logik der Herrschaft, ein Raum, in dem Konflikte ausgehalten werden, statt vererbt. Ein Alltag, der zeigt, dass Zusammenleben Mut braucht, nicht Staat.

Der Kampf der Kurd:innen — ihre Selbstorganisation und Beharrlichkeit — kann uns Vorbild sein: nicht perfekt, aber entschlossen, trotz Krieg und Verrat Neues zu wagen.
Rojava erinnert: Zukunft wird nicht versprochen, sondern erarbeitet. Von unten. Gemeinsam!

Évaluation :

L’échĂ©ance du 10 mars pour le cessez-le-feu approche Ă  grands pas, mais l’enlisement des nĂ©gociations n’inspire guĂšre confiance quant Ă  une rĂ©solution diplomatique des tensions entre le Nouveau Gouvernement Syrien et l’Administration Autonome des Forces DĂ©mocratiques Syriennes (DAANES). La population manifeste, la DAANES rejette en consĂ©quence l’idĂ©e d’une Syrie arabe unifiĂ©e proposĂ©e par Jolani, et le gouvernement lui-mĂȘme n’est pas prĂȘt Ă  accepter les notions de fĂ©dĂ©ralisation et de coexistence des peuples et des cultures sur la base de l’égalitĂ© et de l’émancipation des femmes.

La stratĂ©gie de la puissance hĂ©gĂ©monique pour une rĂ©solution pacifique du « problĂšme kurde Â» se rĂ©vĂšle manifestement inefficace en Syrie. Les pourparlers de paix entamĂ©s dĂ©but 2025 pouvaient paraĂźtre naĂŻfs et peu fiables, mais ils ont donnĂ© aux FDS le temps d’analyser la situation et de prĂ©parer leurs actions, et ils ont considĂ©rablement rĂ©duit la marge de manƓuvre de Jolani. Le gouvernement syrien est dos au mur : il doit se comporter de maniĂšre appropriĂ©e pour ne pas perdre la reconnaissance des grandes puissances internationales. Le systĂšme nĂ©olibĂ©ral mondial impose ses propres rĂšgles, selon lesquelles tout soutien ouvert au djihadisme radical est inacceptable, ce qui limite considĂ©rablement les options de Jolani, le contraignant Ă  de vaines provocations armĂ©es contre les FDS et Ă  des dĂ©clarations vagues. Pendant ce temps, les populations syriennes qui ne disposent pas des moyens de se dĂ©fendre de maniĂšre indĂ©pendante subissent les attaques brutales des forces gouvernementales. Le manque persistant d'autonomie et de moyens de dĂ©fense pour les Druzes et les Alaouites conduit Ă  leur assassinat systĂ©matique.

Dans ce contexte, le nord-ouest apparaßt comme une région bien plus stable de Syrie que les autres. Bien sûr, la situation y est également diverse, mais en général, l'Administration autonome et les autres organes d'autogestion parviennent à créer les conditions nécessaires à la poursuite des changements révolutionnaires, malgré les tensions militaires constantes, les menaces d'invasion de la Turquie, du gouvernement syrien et de Daech, et les difficultés économiques.

Et, bien sĂ»r, il est impossible de ne pas mentionner une date importante cette semaine : le 27 novembre, jour de la fondation du PKK. Tout au long de l'annĂ©e, l'histoire s'est dĂ©roulĂ©e sous nos yeux : la dissolution du parti qui a rendu possible la rĂ©volution dans le nord-est de la Syrie, l'ajustement du paradigme d'Öcalan, le retrait des guĂ©rilleros des montagnes du Kurdistan du Nord. Nous souhaitons ici souligner comment la capacitĂ© d'analyser la rĂ©alitĂ© et le changement avec un regard critique peut contribuer Ă  la rĂ©alisation d'un projet rĂ©volutionnaire. L'histoire du PKK est longue et comporte des pages sombres, mais en tant qu'anarchistes, nous ne pouvons qu'admirer cette capacitĂ© Ă  reconnaĂźtre ses erreurs, Ă  abandonner le paradigme marxiste-lĂ©niniste pour embrasser le socialisme libertaire et le confĂ©dĂ©ralisme dĂ©mocratique, et Ă  concevoir le parti comme un instrument au service du changement rĂ©volutionnaire, et non comme une fin en soi.

Ce jour-là, des célébrations ont eu lieu dans tout le nord-est de la Syrie. Pour les habitants de cette région, le PKK n'est pas qu'une simple organisation, c'est un symbole de libération et d'unité entre les peuples. Avec la dissolution du PKK, l'étendard de la liberté passe enfin du parti devenu symbole aux mains d'une multitude de révolutionnaires dans cette région et à travers le monde.

Salutations rĂ©volutionnaires ! đŸ–€

Faits marquants de la semaine du 24 au 30 novembre 2025
Par des Anarchistes au Nord-Est Syrien

Manifestations dans les villes alaouites des zones cĂŽtiĂšres syriennes :

Mardi, des manifestations ont Ă©clatĂ© dans la rĂ©gion cĂŽtiĂšre de Syrie, majoritairement peuplĂ©e par la communautĂ© alaouite. Ces protestations ont Ă©tĂ© dĂ©clenchĂ©es par un appel de Ghazal Ghazal, chef spirituel du Conseil suprĂȘme alaouite de Syrie, qui a exhortĂ© les citoyens Ă  revendiquer « le fĂ©dĂ©ralisme et la dĂ©centralisation politique, la fin du nettoyage ethnique, des meurtres, des enlĂšvements et des sĂ©questrations, ainsi que la libĂ©ration des prisonniers ».

Des manifestations coordonnées se sont déroulées dans des villes et villages tels que Jableh, Tartous, Baniyas et les régions environnantes. Les forces de sécurité sont intervenues à plusieurs endroits pour disperser les rassemblements, ce qui a entraßné des affrontements avec les manifestants.

L'Administration autonome du Nord et de l'Est de la Syrie (AANES) a publié un communiqué avertissant que les civils et les manifestants pacifiques sont « pris pour cible ». Il a été affirmé que les agressions contre les manifestants défendant leurs droits légitimes, conjuguées au déploiement de factions armées, constituent des « pratiques systématiques visant à saper la paix civile et à alimenter la discorde entre les Syriens ».

Mercredi, les habitants de la ville de Soueïda ont organisé des rassemblements de solidarité en soutien aux manifestations. Les militants souiidaviens ont affirmé que ce rassemblement s'inscrit dans la continuité d'un mouvement qui dure depuis plus de deux ans.

Tensions croissantes entre la communautĂ© alaouite et une tribu bĂ©douine sunnite Ă  Homs :

Le 23 novembre, des assaillants non identifiés ont assassiné un couple bédouin sunnite de la tribu des Bani Khaled dans la banlieue ouest de Homs. Avec le sang des victimes, ils ont inscrit des slogans sectaires sur les murs de la maison. Parmi ces inscriptions figurait « Ya Hussein », une expression associée aux communautés chiites et également utilisée par les Alaouites. En représailles aux meurtres, des membres de la tribu des victimes ont pris pour cible des habitations du quartier de Muhajreen, majoritairement alaouite. Le Service général de sécurité (SGS) a établi un cordon de sécurité afin de contenir les violences. Les membres de la tribu Bani Khaled ont franchi ce cordon et attaqué des résidences alaouites et sunnites. Le SGS n'a repris le contrÎle de la zone qu'aprÚs le déploiement de renforts par le ministÚre syrien de la Défense.

Suite Ă  ces Ă©vĂ©nements, le SGS a instaurĂ© un couvre-feu temporaire Ă  Homs. La Direction de la santĂ© de Homs a fait Ă©tat de 18 blessĂ©s le 23 novembre, sans toutefois confirmer de dĂ©cĂšs. On observe une escalade notable des violences sectaires visant les communautĂ©s alaouites dans l'ouest de Homs : quatre civils alaouites ont Ă©tĂ© tuĂ©s lors d'attaques Ă  caractĂšre sectaire entre le 25 octobre et le 22 novembre. En mai 2025, des hommes armĂ©s et masquĂ©s non identifiĂ©s ont ciblĂ© spĂ©cifiquement les Alaouites dans l'ouest de Homs, perpĂ©trant une sĂ©rie d'attaques sectaires depuis le dĂ©but de l'annĂ©e 2025.

OpĂ©ration des FOI Ă  Beit Jinn :

Le 28 novembre, les Forces d'occupation israéliennes (FOI) ont bombardé le village de Beit Jinn, situé au sud de Damas, prÚs de la région de Quneitra. Ce bombardement faisait suite à une opération terrestre visant à appréhender des membres d'al-Jamaa al-Islamiyya, une faction ayant déjà eu des affrontements militaires avec les FOI au Sud-Liban. Au cours de l'opération de détention, les forces israéliennes ont rencontré une résistance. Les médias syriens ont indiqué que l'opération avait fait 13 morts parmi les villageois et 20 blessés, ainsi que six soldats israéliens blessés. Suite à ces événements, le ministre syrien des Affaires étrangÚres a condamné les opérations militaires israéliennes en cours en Syrie, affirmant que de telles activités mettent en péril la stabilité et la sécurité régionales.

Le ministre israélien de la Défense a déclaré que le pays n'est actuellement « pas sur la bonne voie » pour parvenir à la paix avec la Syrie. Il a précisé que diverses factions armées, dont les Houthis, opÚrent dans le sud de la Syrie, laissant présager d'éventuels préparatifs en vue d'une offensive terrestre sur le plateau du Golan occupé par Israël.

Syrie – RPC :

Le 17 novembre, le ministre syrien des Affaires étrangÚres a rencontré pour la premiÚre fois son homologue de la République populaire de Chine (RPC) à Pékin.

M. Shaibani a rĂ©affirmĂ© l'engagement de la Syrie Ă  empĂȘcher toute entitĂ© d'utiliser le territoire syrien comme base pour des activitĂ©s susceptibles de compromettre les intĂ©rĂȘts de la RPC. En rĂ©ponse, M. Wang a indiquĂ© que PĂ©kin envisageait de participer Ă  la reconstruction Ă©conomique de la Syrie. Il a Ă©galement Ă©voquĂ© le Mouvement islamique du Turkestan oriental (MITO), un groupe militant ouĂŻghour anti-RPC.

L'intégration officielle de militants ouïghours dans les rangs de la nouvelle armée syrienne inquiÚte la RPC. Nombre d'entre eux aspirent à retourner en RPC, forts de leur expérience du combat et de leurs réseaux, afin de lancer une insurrection contre le pays.

Historiquement, la RPC a Ă©troitement coopĂ©rĂ© avec le rĂ©gime d'Assad sur les initiatives antiterroristes visant le MITO. Il est probable que la politique de la RPC Ă  l'Ă©gard du nouveau gouvernement syrien conditionne toute participation Ă©conomique Ă  la reconstruction de la Syrie au maintien de la coopĂ©ration antiterroriste avec la Syrie, ciblant spĂ©cifiquement les militants ouĂŻghours opĂ©rant dans la rĂ©gion. À la suite de la rĂ©union, une source diplomatique syrienne a indiquĂ© que le gouvernement de transition syrien « entend remettre 400 combattants ouĂŻghours Ă  la Chine, Ă  la demande de cette derniĂšre et en plusieurs lots Â».

# DEMONSTRATIONS IN SYRIA'S COASTAL AREAS ALAWITE CITIES

On Tuesday, demonstrations erupted in Syria’s coastal region, primarily inhabited by the Alawite community. These protests were catalyzed by a call from Ghazal Ghazal, the spiritual leader of the Supreme Alawite Council in Syria, who urged citizens to advocate for "federalism and political decentralization, an end to ethnic cleansing, killing, kidnapping, and captivity, as well as the liberation of prisoners from detention facilities."
Coordinated demonstrations unfolded in cities and towns including Jableh, Tartus, Baniyas, and surrounding regions. Security forces intervened in several locations to disperse the gatherings, resulting in clashes with protestors.
The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) issued a statement warning that civilians and peaceful demonstrators are experiencing "direct targeting,".
It asserted that assaults on protesters advocating for their legitimate rights, coupled with the deployment of armed factions represent “systematic practices aimed at undermining civil peace and fueling discord among Syrians.”
On Wednesday, the residents of the city of Suwayda organized a solidarity stands in support of the protests. Suweidawi activists affirmed that the gathering comes as “a continuation of the movement that has been ongoing for more than two years.”

# RAISING TENSIONS BETWEEN ALAWITE COMMUNITY AND SUNNI BEDOUIN TRIBE IN HOMS

On November 23, unidentified assailants murdered a Sunni Bedouin couple from the Bani Khaled tribe in the western outskirts of Homs City. These assailants inscribed sectarian slogans in the victims' blood on the home's walls. One of these inscriptions included “Ya Hussein,” a phrase associated with Shia communities and utilized by Alawites as well.
In retaliation for the murders, members of the tribe of the victims targeted homes in the predominantly Alawite Muhajreen neighborhood. The General Security Service (GSS) established a cordon, attempting to inhibit the outbreak of violence. The Bani Khaled tribesmen breached the GSS cordon and conducted assaults on both Alawite and Sunni residences. The GSS reasserted control only after the Syrian Ministry of Defense (MoD) deployed additional personnel to the area.
Following the events, the GSS instituted a temporary curfew over Homs City. The Homs Health Directorate reported 18 injuries in Homs City on November 23 but did not confirm any fatalities.
There has been a notable escalation in sectarian violence targeting Alawite communities in Western Homs City: four Alawite civilians have been killed in sectarian-motivated assaults between October 25 and November 22. In May 2025, unidentified masked gunmen have specifically focused on Alawites in Western Homs City, executing a series of sectarian attacks since the onset of 2025.

# IOF OPERATION IN BEIT JINN

On November 28, the Israel Occupation Forces (IOF) bombed the village of Beit Jinn, located at the south of Damascus, near Quneitra region. The bombing followed a ground operation aiming at apprehending some members of al Jamaa al Islamiyya, a faction that has a history of military engagement with IOF in southern Lebanon. During the course of the detainment operation, Israeli forces encountered resistance. Syrian media indicated that the operation resulted in the deaths of 13 villagers and injuries to 20 others, with six injured Israeli soldiers.
Following the events, the Syrian Foreign Minister condemned the ongoing Israeli military operations in Syria, asserting that such activities jeopardize regional stability and security.
The Israeli Defense Minister stated that the nation is currently “not on track” toward achieving peace with Syria. He elaborated on the presence of various armed factions, including the Houthis, operating in southern Syria, signaling potential preparations for a ground offensive into the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.

# SYRIA-PRC

On November 17, Syrian Foreign Affairs Minister met for the first time with People's Republic of China (PRC) Foreign Affairs Minister in Beijing.
Minister Shaibani affirmed Syria's commitment to preventing any entity from utilizing Syrian territory as a base for activities that could compromise PRC interests. In response, Minister Wang indicated that Beijing is considering the involvement in the economic reconstruction of Syria. He also referenced the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), an anti-PRC Uyghur militant group.
The formal integration of Uyghur militants into the ranks of the new Syrian army poses concerns for the PRC. Many of these militants have aspirations of returning to PRC armed with combat experience and networks, aiming to launch an insurgency against the PRC.
Historically, the PRC has cooperated closely with the Assad regime on counterterrorism initiatives targeting the ETIM. It is likely that PRC policy towards the new Syrian government will condition economic involvement in Syria’s reconstruction on the continuation of counterterrorism cooperation with Syria, specifically targeting Uyghur militants operating within the region.
Following the meeting, a diplomatic Syrian source told that the Syrian Transitional Government “intends to hand over 400 Uyghur fighters to China based on a Chinese request and in several batches.” This information was denied by the Syrian government.

# CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT

- Clashes erupted in Suwayda as government forces report casualties. The “National Guard” in Suweida claimed that the government forces had violated the ceasefire in the western countryside of the city.
- The Syrian Kurdish National Council (ENKS) announced on Saturday night that it is following “with deep concern” recent celebrations called on by Al-Sharaa, warning that the rhetoric expressed at these events “took on racist and sectarian dimensions.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------

# EVALUATION

The 10 March deadline for the ceasefire is drawing ever closer, but the stalled negotiations do not inspire confidence that the tensions between the New Syrian Government and the Autonomous Administration of the Syrian Democratic Forces will be resolved through diplomatic means. The people are protesting, the DAANES consequentially rejects the idea of a unified Arab Syria proposed by Jolani, and the government itself is not ready for the ideas of federalisation and coexistence of peoples and cultures on the basis of equality and women's liberation.

The hegemonic force’s strategy for peaceful resolution of the ‘Kurdish problem’ is clearly ineffective in Syria. The peace talks that began in early 2025 may have seemed naive and untrustworthy, but they gave the SDF enough time to analyse the situation and plan their steps, and they significantly reduced Jolani's ability to act. The Syrian government has been backed into a corner: it must behave appropriately in order not to lose the recognition of the world's leading powers. The global neoliberal system dictates its own rules, according to which open support for radical jihadism is unacceptable, which significantly limits Jolani's options, leaving him with only minor armed provocations against the SDF and vague statements. Meanwhile these peoples in Syria who currently don’t have the tools for independent self-defense, face brutal attacks of government fighters. Ongoing lack of autonomy and self-defense for Druze and Alawite peoples leads to their systematic murder.

Against this backdrop, the northwest appears to be a much more stable region of Syria than any other. Of course, the situation here is also diverse, but in general, the Autonomous Administration and other self-governing bodies manage to ensure conditions for the continuation of revolutionary changes, despite constant military tension, threats of invasion from Turkey, the Syrian government and ISIS, and economic difficulties.

And, of course, we cannot fail to mention an important date this week — 27 November, the day the PKK was founded. All year long, history has been unfolding before our eyes: the dissolution of the party that made the revolution in North-East Syria possible, the adjustment of Öcalan's paradigm, the guerrillas' exit from the mountains of North Kurdistan. Here we would like to note how the ability to critically assess reality and change can help in the realisation of a revolutionary project. The history of the PKK is long and has its dark pages, but as anarchists, we cannot help but respect this ability to acknowledge mistakes, to shift from the Marxist-Leninist paradigm towards libertarian socialism and democratic confederalism, and to understand the party as a tool for achieving revolutionary change, rather than an end in itself.

On this day, celebrations were held throughout north-eastern Syria. For the people here, the PKK is not just an organization, it is a symbol of liberation and unity among peoples. With the dissolution of the PKK, the banner of freedom is finally passing from the party that became a symbol into the hands of a huge number of revolutionaries in this region and around the world.

Revolutionary greetings! đŸ–€

Erneute bewaffnete Auseinandersetzungen in #Syrien: “Nach Berichten der Syrischen Beobachtungsstelle fĂŒr Menschenrechte eskaliert die angespannte Lage in Syrien erneut. So eröffneten am 25. November KrĂ€fte der Übergangsregierung das Feuer auf friedliche Demostrationen in Homs, Jableh und Latakia. Die Beobachtungsstelle berichtet, dass es große Truppenbewegung in Richtung der syrischen KĂŒstenregionen gibt, wo viele Alawiten leben. Bereits im MĂ€rz verĂŒbten Truppen der Übergangsregierung Massaker an Alawiten, bis zu 1000 Menschen starben. Auch in der Provinz Suweida, wo viele Drusen leben, gab es am gestrigen Tag erneut KĂ€mpfe, mindestens ein Zivilist starb.” In dieser Situation ruft die Selbstverwaltung von Nord- und Ostsyrien #Rojava die Übergangsregierung in Damaskus zu einem Ende der Gewalt:

DKP/BÖG Commemorates Fallen Fighter Robin Agiri!

Robin Agiri, born Michael Israel, fell fighting ISIS in Rojava participating in the war, and now being commeorated by DKP/BÖG — the Communist organization he joined. The organization was part of the International Freedom Battalion, the coalition of Communists and anarchists who found unity in armed struggle. In an interview in 2015 Michael stated he came to Rojava not to simply fight against the fascism of ISIS but primarily to “struggle against capitalism and Turkish imperialism in the region.”

It was this same imperialist force, a NATO military, that murdered Michael and many others in a customary act of aggression against revolutionary forces in the region.

DKP/BÖG shared a video in rememberance of the comrade.

Different perspectives on the recent clashes between the SDF and the govt in Damascus and the role of thr US in it all...

“The Pentagon placed substantial money in its new budget for the SDF, which suggests that it is not ready to abandon its alliance with the Kurds just yet.”
