# YPJ CAMPAIGN
A campaign under the slogan "We are all YPJ" has been started and is gaining attention both nationally and internationally. The women's movement and organizations of Rojava started this campaign the 26th of April with the aim to have YPJ be part of the integration process.
As we have mentioned before, the role of YPJ and NES's women's organizations more generally, is and will continue to be a stickling point in the negotiations because women's struggle is a foundation of the revolution while at the same time al-Sharaa with his islamic fundamentalist ideology does not want to legitimize women's power and rightful place in society.# UNREST AND REPRESSION UNDER STG
- Amid increasing living costs, protests took place in different cities of Syria, including Damascus. Prices of oil and gas are being raised by the government, reaching prices impossible to pay for most of the population. The government recently issued a decree announcing that every demonstration has to be approved by the government beforehand or it will be considered illegal.
- Following some clashes in Homs where a government soldier was killed by an Alawite man, a wave of attacks and raids against Alawite population once again took place in that region, not as big as before but still inflaming ethnic tensions and conflicts.
- In Haseke, after government forces removed the sign in Kurdish and arabic to change it for one in arabic and english, a wave of protests erupted around the building, removing the new sign and demanding the one that included kurdish language to be put back.
- In Idlib, a brigade of Uzbek radical islamists clashed with government forces after some of their members were arrested. This is the second incident involving foreign fighters in Idlib after in October some French islamist groups also clashed with government forces on the outskirts of their training camp close to the Turkish border.
# MIT AIDING ARAB TRIBAL FORCES
Reports are circulating about alleged meetings between MIT (Turkish intelligence) and some tribal leaders, to negotiate and build groups able to carry out attacks and killings in kurdish majority areas of north east Syria. Allegedly, MIT is providing weapons, training and funding to some men connected to what has been presented as "tribal armies", building an underground network able to carry out insurgent attacks on Kurdish regions. Those groups may be able to count with tacit government support while allowing government forces to deny any official links, building on tactics of paramilitary counter-guerrilla that the Turkish State has been using for decades against the kurdish movement.
# LARGEST CONVOY OF RETURNEES TO AFRIN
A fifth convoy of Afrin refugees departed from Haseke on May 10th, comprising an estimated 1,600 families of Kurds, who were forced to leave their homes in 2018 following the Olive Branch military operation. This has been the largest so far, bigger than the forth one that traveled on early May with around 1,000 families.
The first of these convoys went to Afrin on March 9, and consisted of around 400 displaced families. A second group of around 200 families arrived on April 4, followed by a third convoy of approximately 800 families that reached Afrin on April 14. So in total we are counting around 4000 families that returned to Afrin, even if the conditions there are still unclear as the influence of the Turkish state and its armed groups, comprised of former SNA, still have a heavy presence in the region.# RESHUFFLING POWER POSITIONS ON SYRIA'S GOVERNMENT
Ahmad al‑Sharaa issued a series of presidential decrees introducing new appointments to senior positions within the Presidency and several ministries.
Under the decrees, Abdulrahman Badr al‑Din al‑A‘ma was appointed Secretary-General of the Presidency, replacing Maher al‑Sharaa, the brother of the president. Khaled Fawaz Zaarour succeeded Hamza Mustafa as Minister of Information. In the Agriculture Ministry, Bassel Hafez al‑Suweidan was named minister, replacing Amjad Badr.
The decrees further appointed new governors in several governorates; Ghassan Elias al‑Sayyed Ahmad as Governor of Quneitra, replacing Ahmad al‑Dalati, Murhaf Khaled al‑Naasan as Governor of Homs, Ahmad Ali Mustafa as Governor of Latakia, Ziyad Fawaz al‑Ayesh was appointed Governor of Deir ez‑Zor.# STALLING OF PEACE PROCESS IN BAKUR
In recent declarations, leaders of the apoist movement stated that the peace initiative with Turkey has been effectively "frozen", since Ankara has failed to implement the necessary legal and political reforms to advance the process.
The Apoist Movement leadership also held a press conference marking the first anniversary of the PKK’s dissolution congress, were they evaluated the achievements of the Kurdish liberation movement. They remarked that the dissolution of PKK should be understood as a new beginning for the Kurdish liberation movement, opening space for political and democratic developments.-----------------------------------------------------------------
# EVALUATION
In the last month we saw how the war tensions between US and Israel against Iran continue to cast their shadow over the whole Middle East. Western powers formalize their ties with the Syrian government, and today (May 11th) Syria and the EU will hold the first high-level political talks since the fall of the Assad regime. It is expected that the talks will focus on establishing a political framework for the relations between the EU and Syria and to assess EU support for economical recovery and political transition.
The project of the Autonomous Administration of NES as an official institution is ending, as talks about integration into the Syrian State are becoming the everyday life in NES. The revolutionary movement is working to defend the values and achievements of the revolution as the formal institutions dissolve, but the communes and the grassroots movement continue on its path. Many people ARE sad about those loses, but at the same time very aware of the reasons behind it.
The decisions of SDF and the DAANES prevented a bloodbath, and everyone on the ground is very aware of that. The lives of the people of NES were put in front of any political agenda, allowing for a relative peace and calm on the ground. The political and military bodies of NES maneuvered in the best way possible to avoid any massacres or long bloody battles. As prisoners exchange go on, families celebrate that their sons and daughters come back home, knowing that in other conditions they wouldn't be able to see them ever again.
At the same time, important political achievements have been reached for Kurds in Syria, with their rights formally recognized in the constitution and official decrees. That brings some hopes for political struggle instead of simply continuation of war, but everyone is aware that those agreements mean nothing if people are not organized and ready to fight when the state tries to walk back on any of those achievements. The means of self-defense have also been somewhat preserved, making sure that SDF didn't end up surrendering or simply giving up weapons.
Today is clear that al-Sharaa is a good strategist. He used his cards very well to achieve the central position he wanted. He is a pragmatist with no problems to compromise the ideological lines of his organization in order to strengthen his own grip on Syrian State power. How much he will try to return to his Islamist roots as he consolidates power, how much he will simply embrace western capitalist politics and play the role of responsible head of state for western powers is something that will become more clear in time to come.
Revolutionary greetings 🖤

The revolutionary movement is working to defend the values and achievements of the revolution as the formal institutions dissolve, but the communes and the grassroots movement continue on its path. Many people ARE sad about those loses, but at the same time very aware of the reasons behind it.
The decisions of SDF and the DAANES prevented a bloodbath, and everyone on the ground is very aware of that. The lives of the people of NES were put in front of any political agenda, allowing for a relative peace and calm on the ground. The political and military bodies of NES maneuvered in the best way possible to avoid any massacres or long bloody battles. As prisoners exchange go on, families celebrate that their sons and daughters come back home, knowing that in other conditions they wouldn't be able to see them ever again.
At the same time, important political achievements have been reached for Kurds in Syria, with their rights formally recognized in the constitution and official decrees. That brings some hopes for political struggle instead of simply continuation of war, but everyone is aware that those agreements mean nothing if people are not organized and ready to fight when the state tries to walk back on any of those achievements. The means of self-defense have also been somewhat preserved, making sure that SDF didn't end up surrendering or simply giving up weapons.
Today is clear that al-Sharaa is a good strategist. He used his cards very well to achieve the central position he wanted. He is a pragmatist with no problems to compromise the ideological lines of his organization in order to strengthen his own grip on Syrian State power. How much he will try to return to his Islamist roots as he consolidates power, how much he will simply embrace western capitalist politics and play the role of responsible head of state for western powers is something that will become more clear in time to come.
Revolutionary greetings 🖤

-----------------------------------------------------------------
# ILHAM AHMED AND MAZLOUM ABDI IN DAMASCUS
Al-Sharaa tried to 'buy' Abdi and Ahmed by offering Abdi the position of vice president and Ahmed a senior advisory role. Both rejected those offers on the basis of it being symbolic and representational instead of offering real decision making power. The offers were made during a meeting between the transitional government and a Kurdish delegation to discuss the integration of Kurdish civilian and security structures into the Syrian state.
# MAJOR US BASES NOW IN HANDS OF STG
The US has completed the handover of all their major military basis in Syria to the STG amid the AANES integration process. Some US forces do stay in the region for joint anti-ISIS operations. The handover extends STG military power in NES, where they previously had very limited presence.
# SEREKANIYE REFUGEES ATTEMPTING TO RETURN HOME SHOT AT
As the road between Til Tamer and Serekaniye is opened again, former residents of Serekaniye who became refugees in other parts of NES attempted a return home and were met with live fire. It is unknown whether there were any casualties. The return of all IDP's to their homes is supposed to be part of the integration, these incidents show that this will continue to be a point of tension.
# ATTACK ON KURDISH FLAG SPARKS MOBILIZATIONS
Hussein al-Hasou, a man form al-Aramiya village, recently made a video opening fire with an AK-47 on the Rojava flag in the southern Qamishlo roundabout. The action sparked a mobilization in many cities around northern Syria as well as a campaign on social network with the tag #AlaMePiroze (My flag is sacred). Hussein al-Hassou was known for having relations with the old baath regime, the sheik of Hassou tribe already made a statement distancing itself from his actions. Hussein was recently arrested, but the mobilizations in defense of Rojava flag still ongoing.
# DISAPPEARED JOURNALISTS PROBABLY IN ALEPPO PRISON
The journalists Eva Maria Michelmann and Ahmed Polad that had been disappeared since January might be in STG prison in Aleppo. Accounts of former SDF fighters who were freed in recent prison exchange suggest that, since most of them were held in that prison during their captive time, along with other captured SDF members.
# SIT-IN PROTEST IN DAMASCUS
A protest took place in Damascus to draw attention to the general living condition of people, political freedom and needed improvements in public services. The issue of favoritism within the new regime was also addressed, the protesters demand merit-based assignment of positions. The demonstration was met by a counter-demonstration that tried to disrupt, police forces were also present, no big bursts of violence seem to have happened.
Iranian Attacks in South Kurdistan
Iran renewed attacks on the Iraq Kurdistan Region, with multiple drone strikes on different targets including refugee camps and civilian institutions.-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Meagan Day: What accounts for the Left’s relative failure to replicate this?
Lea Ypi: The abandonment of the critique of capitalism as a class project. You have the environmentalist left, the feminist left, the anti-racist left, and there’s been a critique of universalism that has made it difficult to connect these identity-based struggles into one vision. Paradoxically, the Left has inherited the same culturalist approach that the Right takes to understanding conflict — saying it’s about racism or gender without fitting those critiques into a critique of the broader mode of production.
What the Left really lacks is an alternative cosmopolitanism. When I was a student in the late ’90s and early 2000s in Italy, that was the moment of the alter-globalization movement. You had the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, the emerging idea of an alternative globalization. But that movement was suffocated by the hegemony of neoliberalism, which insisted that you didn’t need another politics, you just needed the right policy. All you had to do was cater to the Third Way: policy fixes, a little redistribution, compromise with economic elites.
Those of us who were on the streets were seen as ridiculous romantics who didn’t understand that the Cold War was over and there was no alternative. That’s what we lost, and that’s what we’re struggling to recover.
Meagan Day: The Left has been suspicious of the nation-state for good reason. But in recent history, it’s largely been within this context that the weak have been able to express their power. Is there anything redeeming about the nation-state?
Lea Ypi: Pragmatically, yes, because the nation-state is the site of coercive power. If you want to take and exercise power, you need to know where it resides. Otherwise, the social struggle just remains everywhere and nowhere."

# 400 LIBERATED IN A NEWS PRISONER EXCHANGE
400 SDF members were released in the third prisoner exchange with the transitional government. With the current group, the number of people released so far from Northeast Syria has risen to around 870. This last group also included 35 YPJ fighters. The released prisoners were brought to Hassakah. The releases are considered part of an ongoing process, the continuation of which depends on the further implementation of the January 29 agreement. At the same time, the demand remains to free all those still being held. During the offensive, up to 4,000 people from Northeast Syria were abducted, including German journalist Eva Maria Michelmann and her Kurdish colleague Ahmed Polad. Their fate remains unknown.
# UNREST AND RAIDS IN SHEIKH MAGHSOOD
STG forces carried out raids in several Kurdish homes in the neighborhood of Sheikh Maqsoud in Aleppo. The situation in the historic Kurdish neighborhoods is very tense since the attacks on January, that forced many people to flee to save their live. Mass graves had been discovered over recent months, with more that 4.800 bodies that were buried unnamed. Those bodies belong to residents of the neighborhoods (fighters and civilians) as well as SNA fighters who attacked the neighborhoods on January.
# MAYOR OF KOBANE GETS BACK HER POSITION
A delegation from the Kobanê Administration visited Aleppo province a few days ago, and Almaz Romî was officially appointed as Mayor of Kobanê by Aleppo Governor Ezam Xerîb. She worked in different areas of the Kobane administration since 2013, including the the coordination committee of Kongra star in 2018. After the handover ceremony, Almaz Romî said: “Within the framework of the January 29 Agreement, institutions will be integrated with government institutions. Today in Kobanê we have launched the process of integrating the institutions of the Kobanê Municipality into the General People’s Municipality. For this purpose, I held a meeting with the Aleppo Governor two days ago and was appointed as Mayor of Kobanê.”
# ISRAEL MOVES FURTHER IN DARAA COUNTRYSIDE
Israeli army forces continued their advances toward Wadi al-Raqad in the Yarmouk Basin area of Daraa western countryside, southern Syria. SANA agency reported that around 12 Israeli military vehicles crossed through the Tel Abu al-Ghaythar gate along the separation line with the Golan Heights and entered the village of Hamata, raided a young man’s house and arrested him before withdrawing toward the Golan. Areas in the western countryside of Daraa have witnessed repeated incidents involving Israeli raids and artillery since the collapse of the Assad regime.

Shahens son Reza Pahlavi talar i riksdagen idag. Vi tycker det iranska folket ska äntligen få stöd med att välja själv hur samhället ska organiseras, istället för att byta en förtryckare mot en annan. I texten "Den nya internationalismen måste byggas underifrån" skriver vi såhär:
"Det behövs en internationalism som inte låter sig fångas i det inbillade valet mellan hegemoniska block där politiker försöker tvinga folk att välja sida som om det vore en fotbollsmatch. Det vi behöver är en stark rörelse som praktiskt solidariserar sig med och stöttar det tredje alternativ som underifrån organiserar samhället utifrån principen “Jin, Jîyan, Azadî” – Kvinna, Liv, Frihet."
