# SDF PRISONERS IN STG HANDS

In the last months during various attacks and skirmishes, the STG has taken an unknown number of SDF POW. While prisoner's release is supposed to be a part of the integration agreements, little headway has been made on the issue. In Qamishlo families have been protesting this, demanding information about their loved ones from STG. Often no information is know at all, not even if they are alive or dead.
There are also a number of civilians unaccounted for with no information of their status or whereabouts. Two journalists were also disappeared from Raqqa, one of them is an internationalist woman.

# CONTINUED INCREASE OF ISIS THREAD AND ATTACKS

ISIS issued a new call for jihad against the STG, calling al-Sharaa an apostate who is serving western powers. While al-Sharaa himself has his history in al-Qaeda, his pragmatism and willingness to (at least on the face) moderate his Islamist agenda has been causing frustration with more radical Islamist forces both within the STG and with other groups such as ISIS.
The monthly average of ISIS attacks is still up at 20. With prisoner transfers to Iraq, STG releasing prisoners when taking over previously SDF administered facilities, escapes from al-Hol and the general instability in the region, ISIS is taking its chances where it can to advance and disrupt.

# ILHAM AHMED AND ROJHILAT AFRIN AT EU PARLIAMENT

Ahmed and Afrin have been meeting with EU committees about the situation of the Kurdish population in NES. They emphasized the role the SDF has played against ISIS, the need for constitutional rights and the obstacles for IDP's to return to their homes. They also demanded that the EU take a more active stance as a guarantor.

# PRESSURE ON SHENGAL

Tension in Shengal has been increasing as Turkish foreign minister Hakkan Fidan has threatened operations in Shengal, Makhmur and Qandil to be carried out by the Iraqi Hashd al-Shaʿbi forces. Iraqi military presence has visibly increased in the region. Iraqi forces have been disarming Yezidi's, while effectively surrounding Shengal with the army. There are ongoing negotiations to integrate Sinjar Resistance Units (YBŞ) into the Iraqi army. YBŞ has shown openness to dialogue on the matter, though with the red-lines that forces in their areas need to remain fully Yezidi, and that they will not integrate into Hashd al-Sha'bi. The YBŞ stated that if Shengal will be attacked, they will fight back fiercely.

# IRAN WAR

The recent attacks of US and Israel on Iran will impact Syria in ways we can only speculate. As for now, Iranian missiles already landed on Syrian soil, some even killing civilians on southern Syria. Syrian aviation authorities also decided to close airspace in southern Syria, probably under requests of US. Beyond immediate consequences like that, the ongoing attacks will influence not only the fate on Iran but of the whole middle east. The imperialist aggressions of US and Israel aim for the collapse of the regime of the ayatollahs in Iran, and the regime will answer desperately in front of such an existential threat.

# AL-HOL EMPTYING OUT

Last week we reported on the exodus from the ISIS foreigners section of the al-Hol camp to the point of being nearly empty. Now it seems the camp as a whole, including the Iraqi and Syrian section are emptying since security at the camp has collapsed since the takeover of STG. There is little official information on where all the people have gone. It is likely some have moved to other parts of Syria, and that some have crossed illegally into Iraq and Turkey. STG is calling it an evacuation and says they are preparing the closure of the camp.

# US WITHDRAWS FROM SYRIA

The US has been present in Syria since the 2014 coalition against ISIS. Recently they left al-Tanf and Shaddadi bases, now they are also reported to be leaving Qasrik base near Heseke. The stated reason for this is that now the Syrian government is willing and able to take over "combating terrorists within its own borders". Through al-Sharaa, they are now able to extend their influence in the region through other methods than direct military involvement. At the same time, there are also US officials who are skeptical of the STG's ability to handle security risks of ISIS. Simultaneously, there is the question if this is not simply a re-distribution of troops closer to Iran, in case of a regime change there.

# DAMASCUS STARTS PROCEDURE

Citizenship of "Unregistered" Kurds
A significant part of the Syrian Kurdish population has no citizenship or official papers. This stems from policy in 1962, during which many were stripped of citizenship and civil rights. The repercussions of this have severely limited prospects of life for many Kurds for decades. Damascus said they are now opening a bureaucratic procedure to grant this group citizenship again. There is careful optimism, with caution as to how this will work out in practice.

# RETURN OF IDPs TO AFRIN

A joint security delegation from NES and STG traveled to Afrin to assess the situation. There is a plan to start returning IDPs to their homes soon. Some families have previously traveled back on their own initiative. However some of these families have faced issues such as theft, kidnapping, torture, etc. This is the first attempt at a structured return with some security considerations.

# MUNICH SECURITY CONFERENCE

The attendance of Mazlum Abdi and Ilham Ahmed at the Munich Security Conference seems to have been directly facilitated by the US. Abdi and Ahmed were not part of the delegation from Damascus. There is speculation that the main reason for their presence was a diplomatic one to calm the US parliament, as part of US congress is uneasy with STG expansion and the US withdrawal, having the SDF and STG together at a high-level meeting in Munich presents a picture of successful integration.
There are no clear binding outcomes of the conference. Though the following interviews with Abdi and Ahmed respectively give an insight into their perspectives on it.

# EVALUATION

That the clearing of al-Hawl camp leading to unclarity about all the ISIS fighters' and sympathizers' whereabouts poses a massive risk, we do not need to repeat, it should be clear by now. Otherwise, careful cautious steps are continuing on the path of integration and normalization. With the same caveats, concerns, and risks, but also possibilities continuing to unfold. That imperial powers such as the US are in the end only pursuing their own ends, need to be all too familiar and expected for us.

In lieu of further own evaluation for this particular week, we want to share a quote by writer Cihad Hammy:

"The coexistence of diverse cultures is not a fantasy but rather a sociological reality in our regions. Our regions are woven from multiple histories, memories, and identities. What prevents differences from thriving is not their nature, but rather the structures of the nation-state and ideologies that operate through the hierarchical binary of “we” and the “Other.” We should not fall into the trap of such logic; instead, we must cultivate a consciousness capable of embracing unity within diversity and recognizing our shared human community.

The Syrian tragedy has shown how fragile revolutionary ideals can be when confronted by power politics, regional rivalries and internal miscalculations. But retreating into cynicism would only confirm the narrative that pluralism was always impossible.

I refuse to accept that conclusion.
The democratic nation remains, in my view, the only viable framework for Syria and for the broader region. Not because it is perfect, but because every alternative we have tried has led to catastrophe.

The revolution did not fail because the aspiration for coexistence was misguided. It faltered because we did not protect and institutionalize those values strongly enough.
The answer is not to mock them — but to deepen them."

Remember Omar Aziz!

On February 16th Internationalists in Rojava commemorated Syrian anarchist Omar Aziz. Work and struggle of Omar in the early years of Syrian revolution to organize neighborhood councils echo in Rojava's communes today. It continues to inspire and serve as a reminder of self-organized and egalitarian roots of Syrian revolution.

Today diverse communities across Syria - be it Christians, Druze, Alawites, Kurds or many others - face existential struggle for self-determination in the face of new Syrian nation-state imposing one flag, one nation and one language for everyone. It is incredibly relevant today to remember the struggle of such people as Omar and many women, youth and men who pursued the aim of liberation and fell martyrs in the hands of Assad regime.

The new centralized state and mercenaries in its control are determined to suffocate and take the revolutionary society of Rojava off the map.
We remember Omar Aziz and continue to stand together with peoples of Rojava in defense against authoritarian regime and in walking towards free life: Omar's dreams, hopes and aspirations live on with our struggle.

Picture of ten individuals with masked faces sitting or standing, some showing the v of victory with their hands. They all stand in front of a wall with a big painting of Omar Aziz with as background the anarchist flag (red and black). It is written in kurmanci and arabic about the martyr.

Souvenons-nous d'Omar Aziz !

Le 16 février, les internationalistes du Rojava ont commémoré l'anarchiste syrien Omar Aziz. Son combat et son œuvre, menés au début de la révolution syrienne pour organiser des conseils de quartier, résonnent encore aujourd'hui dans les communes du Rojava. Ils continuent d'inspirer et de rappeler les racines égalitaires et autogérées de la révolution syrienne.

Aujourd'hui, de nombreuses communautés à travers la Syrie – chrétiennes, druzes, alaouites, kurdes et bien d'autres – sont confrontées à une lutte existentielle pour leur autodétermination face au nouvel État-nation syrien qui impose un seul drapeau, une seule nation et une seule langue à tous. Il est plus que jamais d'actualité de se souvenir du combat de personnes comme Omar et de tous ces hommes, femmes et jeunes qui ont poursuivi l'idéal de libération et sont tombés en martyrs sous le régime d'Assad.

Le nouvel État centralisé et les mercenaires à son service sont déterminés à étouffer et à faire disparaître la société révolutionnaire du Rojava. Nous nous souvenons d'Omar Aziz et continuons de nous tenir aux côtés des peuples du Rojava pour lutter contre le régime autoritaire et pour cheminer vers une vie libre : les rêves, les espoirs et les aspirations d'Omar perdurent à travers notre combat.

# DAANES AND STG AT MUNICH SECURITY CONFERENCE

Highest DAANES co-representative Ilham Ehmed and SDF highest co-command Mazloum Abdi participate in the 62th Munich Security Conference, a renown conference of high-ranking actors of the fields of politics, diplomacy, and security. STG foreign minister al-Shabani too is taking part. Locally, people protest the STG participation and legitimization through the Western political powers.

# STG TAKES OVER AL-TANF AND SHADADI BASES

The Al-Tanf base is near the border area of Syria, Jordan and Iraq. The base and the area around it has been in US control since 2016 and played a role in monitoring border movements of ISIS. The hand-over was negotiated between the US and STG, as both sides have put out official statements. STG also took control of the Shadadi base also after a negotiated hand over.

# DEVELOPMENTS ON AL-HAWL CAMP AND ISIS PRISON-TRANSFERS

The area for foreign ISIS women and children of Al-Hawl camp is reported to be almost empty. Since little has changed in the repatriation status of those people, most have been smuggled to Idlib, others quietly moved into the Syrian side of the camp.
In the meanwhile prisoner transfers from Syria to Iraq continue, with Baghdad asking for more money to support the operations.

# YPG WELCOME HESEKE GOVERNOR

A delegation of high-ranking YPJ fighters and commanders visited the newly appointed governor of Heseke Nûredîn Îsa Ehmed, greeting him after his inauguration. They stressed good collaboration on the topic of security.

ANF | TJK-E verurteilt frauenfeindliche Berichterstattung des „Spiegel“

https://deutsch.anf-news.com/frauen/tjk-e-verurteilt-frauenfeindliche-berichterstattung-des-spiegel-50195

"> Die #Kurdische #Frauenbewegung in #Europa (TJK-E) hat scharfe Kritik an der #Berichterstattung des deutschen Nachrichtenmagazins „Der Spiegel“ geübt. In einer ausführlichen Erklärung wirft sie dem #Magazin vor, mit seiner #Darstellung der Lage in #Rojava die Gewaltideologie des sogenannten Islamischen Staats (#IS) und weiterer Terrorgruppierungen zu relativieren und gleichzeitig frauenfeindliche Narrative zu bedienen.

„Spiegel“ entlastet Täter und kriminalisiert Opfer

Die TJK-E bezieht sich konkret auf eine Artikelreihe des „Spiegel“, die seit Beginn der Offensive des syrischen Übergangsregimes gegen die #kurdischeSelbstverwaltung in #Nordostsyrien am 6. Januar veröffentlicht wurde.

Der Verband bezeichnet die Veröffentlichungen als „einseitig, parteiisch und gefährlich“, insbesondere durch das Schweigen zu schweren #Gewaltverbrechen gegen #kurdischeFrauen und Kämpferinnen der Frauenverteidigungseinheiten (#YPJ). „Statt die systematischen Morde, Entführungen, Vergewaltigungen und Folter durch #dschihadistischeMilizen anzuprangern, bedient sich ‚Der Spiegel‘ einer Sprache, die die #Täter entlastet und die #Opfer kriminalisiert,“ heißt es in der Erklärung.

„Ein Zopf ist nicht alles, was bleibt – er ist Symbol der Unbeugsamkeit“

Besonders empört zeigte sich die TJK-E über den Umgang mit dem Fall einer getöteten Kämpferin der YPJ, deren abgeschnittener Zopf von einem früheren IS-Söldner und gegenwärtig Angehörigem der syrisch-arabischen Armee auf Social Media zur Schau gestellt wurde – versehen mit dem Satz: „Das ist alles, was von ihr übrig blieb.“ Für die #Frauenbewegung ein Akt psychologischer #Kriegsführung und ein #Symbol dafür, wie tief die #Verachtung gegenüber kämpfenden #Frauen reiche.

„Reinwaschung“ islamistischen Terrors

Dass ein etabliertes Medium diesen Kontext ignoriere und die #Täterperspektive reproduziere, sei nicht nur journalistisch fragwürdig, sondern #politisch brandgefährlich, ergänzt die TJK-E: „#DerSpiegel‘ betreibt gezielte #Desinformation.

Er spricht nicht mit Vertreter:innen der QSD, stellt keine Zusammenhänge her, sondern konstruiert ein Bild, das die kurdische Selbstverwaltung delegitimiert und islamistischen Terror reinwäscht.“

„Eure Propaganda wird unsere Entschlossenheit nicht brechen“

Die TJK-E unterstreicht in ihrer Erklärung den historischen Kontext: Die kurdische Frauenbewegung sei eine der ersten Kräfte gewesen, die den IS militärisch, ideologisch und gesellschaftlich bekämpft habe –
„in direkter Verteidigung der Werte,
die auch Europa für sich beansprucht:
Gleichheit, Freiheit, Menschenwürde.“
Dass diese Bewegung nun medial entwürdigt werde, während Verbrechen des IS und dessen ideologischen Verbündeten unsichtbar blieben, sei eine Form medialer Komplizenschaft." ...

Déclaration du Conseil démocratique syrien (CDS) concernant le siège continu de #Kobanê :
« Depuis plus de trois semaines, la ville de Kobanê est soumise à un siège suffocant qui cible plus d'un demi-million de personnes, y compris des réfugiés internes originaires d'Afrin, de Sheikh Maqsoud, d'Achrafieh, de Tabqa et de Raqqa.
La poursuite de ce blocus représente un danger extrême pour la vie des civils, en particulier des enfants, des malades et des personnes les plus démunies, en raison du manque de nourriture, de lait infantile et de médicaments essentiels, alors que les centres de santé épuisent leurs dernières réserves. La plupart des commerces ont fermé après l’épuisement de leurs stocks, et la vie quotidienne est devenue une lutte pour la survie, dans une situation qui constitue, selon tous les critères, un crime de guerre et une punition collective.
Kobané, qui fut un symbole mondial de la résistance contre le terrorisme, et dont la bataille de libération marqua le début de la fin de l’organisation Daech, est aujourd’hui punie pour avoir défendu l’humanité tout entière. Transformer la ville en instrument de pression politique contre les Forces démocratiques syriennes est un acte de représailles dangereux, visant la volonté d’un peuple qui s’est tenu en première ligne pour défendre le monde face au terrorisme.
Le Conseil démocratique syrien, tout en exprimant sa condamnation absolue du siège imposé à Kobané, qu’il considère comme un crime contre l’humanité et une violation flagrante du droit international humanitaire et de toutes les conventions protégeant les civils en temps de conflit, tient les parties responsables du siège juridiquement et moralement responsables de chaque victime tombée à cause de la faim, de la maladie ou du manque de médicaments.
Il affirme son rejet total de l’utilisation des civils et de leurs moyens de subsistance comme outil de chantage politique ou militaire, sous quelque prétexte que ce soit.
Le Conseil appelle l’autorité provisoire de Damas à assumer ses responsabilités souveraines et juridiques envers ses citoyens, à ouvrir immédiatement tous les points de passage pour l’entrée de la nourriture, des médicaments et du carburant, et à mettre fin à toute mesure contribuant à l’asphyxie de la ville. L’unité de la Syrie ne se construit pas par la famine de ses enfants, mais par la préservation de leur dignité et de leurs droits.
Le Conseil appelle également toutes les forces nationales et démocratiques syriennes à ne pas rester silencieuses face au crime commis à Kobané, un crime qui fait honte à l’humanité, et à adopter une position nationale unifiée rejetant le siège et plaçant la dignité humaine au-dessus de tout calcul étroit.
Il demande en outre à la Coalition internationale contre Daech d’assumer son rôle dans le maintien de la sécurité en intervenant de toute urgence pour lever le siège et empêcher l’effondrement de la situation humanitaire, qui menace de compromettre tous les acquis de la stabilité au nord et à l’est de la Syrie.
Enfin, le Conseil lance un appel à l’Organisation des Nations unies, au Conseil de sécurité et aux organisations humanitaires internationales, les exhortant à envoyer immédiatement des commissions d’enquête, à ouvrir des couloirs humanitaires d’urgence, et à inscrire ce qui se passe dans le cadre des crimes nécessitant une responsabilité internationale, sans se limiter à de simples déclarations.
Aujourd’hui, Kobané interpelle la conscience du monde. La ville qui a choisi la vie ne doit pas être abandonnée à une mort lente.
La dignité des habitants de Kobané n’est pas négociable. La détermination d’un peuple qui a vaincu Daech ne sera pas brisée par le siège et la famine. »

# KOBANE SIEGE

The siege of STG forces in Kobane is posing a serious danger for the many people who have been suffering from the imposed isolation for more than 2 weeks. Medical supplies have been depleted, while fuel and food stocks are nearing exhaustion. Some humanitarian convoys were allowed to distribute basic aid, but not enough for the high number of population that sought for shelter in the city due to the ongoing attacks. Also, since water and electricity are cut, viruses and disease are spreading due to lack of access to clean water, accentuating the humanitarian crisis. Schools had to be turned into shelters. Therefore, around 72,000 students of Kobani and surroundings can currently not attend school.

# STG DELEGATION AT QAMISHLO AIRPORT

A delegation of the Syrian Transitional Government arrived today at the Qamishlo Airport, implementing further steps of the agreement that include a joint DAANES-STG control of the airport as a civilian airport.

# ISIS GROWING THREAT

U.N. officials recently reported to the UN Security Council on how the threat posed by ISIS has increased steadily since mid-2025, becoming more complex and multi-front. ISIS and its affiliates have expanded their presence in West Africa and the Sahel, while sleeper cells remain active in Iraq and Syria. They warned that, with ongoing events in Syria, conditions in al Hawl camp and other detention facilities create a fertile environment for the group’s resurgence.

# SYRIA-SAUDI ARABIA ECONOMIC DEALS

Syria and Saudi Arabia signed a series of strategic agreements on Saturday covering aviation, telecommunications, infrastructure, and real estate development aimed at boosting Syria’s recovery. The agreements are presented as a major step toward reviving Syria’s economy and attracting foreign investment after years of war.

# EVALUATION

With the ongoing negotiations, the chaotic rush that military conflict brings is slowing down. We are therefore returning to our previous rhythm of weekly highlights on Sundays. If the situation tenses up and escalates again, we are of course here to adapt the update frequency to the course of events.

It has been a very intense time for us, and we are still very busy with the ongoing situation on the ground. Now is a critical time for the Rojava revolution, where all the efforts to organize and develop an ethical and political society of the last decade will come to a real test. Yesterday would have been the deadline of the last ceasefire which then got replaced and continued by a thorough set of agreements of integrating into the transitional Syrian state.

Autonomy and resistance are the guiding lines in many social and political developments in NES, as well as in military structures. Always with the women in the forefront, Rojava is questioning the patriarchal logic that many domination systems imposed for millennia. Those seeds of autonomy and resistance have been sowed long time ago, and they have been able to take root. During the last decade in NES, those seeds of freedom were able to grow free of the impositions of state institutions. Now, the Syrian state is attempting to assert control and domination once more, with full support of Turkey and western powers. Revolutionary movements in NES may need to continue working from clandestinity once again, weaving the social relations and fabric of life and resistance.

The ongoing agreements with the transitional government are fragile, and tensions and military conflicts can easily rise again. We call to everyone to stay updated on what is happening in Syria, to be ready to respond when needed, to defend the revolution and keep building the new world we all carry in our hearts!

Revolutionary greetings!🖤

Faits saillants 04-08.02.26

Siège de Kobané

Le siège de Kobané par les forces du Gouvernement syrien de transition (GST) représente un grave danger pour la population, déjà soumise à un isolement forcé depuis plus de deux semaines. Les stocks de médicaments sont épuisés, tandis que les réserves de carburant et de nourriture sont presque à sec. Quelques convois humanitaires ont été autorisés à distribuer une aide de base, mais insuffisante pour faire face à l'afflux massif de personnes réfugiées dans la ville en raison des attaques en cours. De plus, les coupures d'eau et d'électricité favorisent la propagation de virus et de maladies, aggravant ainsi la crise humanitaire. Des écoles ont dû être transformées en abris. Par conséquent, environ 72 000 élèves de Kobané et des environs sont actuellement privés d'école.

Délégation du GST à l'aéroport de Qamishlo

Une délégation du Gouvernement syrien de transition est arrivée aujourd'hui à l'aéroport de Qamishlo, mettant en œuvre de nouvelles étapes de l'accord prévoyant notamment un contrôle conjoint de l'aéroport par le DAANES et le GST en tant qu'aéroport civil.

Menace croissante de l'EI

Des responsables de l'ONU ont récemment informé le Conseil de sécurité que la menace posée par l'EI s'est accrue de façon constante depuis mi-2025, devenant plus complexe et multiforme. L'EI et ses affiliés ont étendu leur présence en Afrique de l'Ouest et au Sahel, tandis que des cellules dormantes restent actives en Irak et en Syrie. Ils ont averti que, compte tenu des événements en cours en Syrie, les conditions de détention dans le camp d'al-Hawl et d'autres centres de détention créent un terreau fertile pour la résurgence du groupe.

Accords économiques Syrie-Arabie saoudite

La Syrie et l'Arabie saoudite ont signé samedi une série d'accords stratégiques portant sur l'aviation, les télécommunications, les infrastructures et le développement immobilier, visant à stimuler la reprise économique de la Syrie. Ces accords sont présentés comme une étape majeure vers la relance de l'économie syrienne et l'attraction d'investissements étrangers après des années de guerre.
