YJA Guerrillas Target Turkish Occupation Forces in South Kurdistan
The Press Center of the People’s Defense Forces (HPG) said in a statement that women guerrillas targeted the Turkish army in South Kurdistan. The statement also reported on the attacks carried out by the Turkish army against the Medya Defense Areas.
According to the statement, guerrillas from the Free Women’s Units (YJA Star) deployed on the western front of the Zap region targeted a Turkish army howitzer on Wednesday and thus repelled an attack on Girê Amêdî. In addition, enemy positions in the resistance area were fired upon by the fighters with heavy weapons.
In nearby Girê Cûdî, an attempt by enemy troops to advance on the guerrilla tunnels was also stopped by the YJA Star on Wednesday.
In the Metîna region, the fighters destroyed a surveillance camera installed by the occupying forces in the Serê Metîna resistance area on the same day.
And on Monday, according to the HPG, soldiers in open areas were shot at with heavy weapons from the women’s guerrillas.
Attacks by the Turkish army
Meanwhile, the Turkish army continued to use prohibited explosives against guerrilla tunnels. The HPG recorded eight operations against tunnel systems in Girê Cûdî, Girê Amêdî and Şêlazê this week.
Turkish fighter jets carried out 19 air strikes on areas in the Xakurke, Gare, Metîna and Zap regions between 28 and 30 January. The Girê Bahar resistance area was bombed nine times by attack helicopters on Tuesday.
DAANES Rejects New Syrian Regime
The Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (DAANES) made a statement regarding the ‘Victory Congress’ held in Damascus a few days ago and the decisions taken at the congress.
The Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria stated, “Developments concerning the Syrian people continue to unfold at a great pace following the fall of the Baath regime. A meeting was held in Damascus recently amid expectations for the establishment of a ‘National Congress’ to take many decisions jointly, especially on important issues such as making a constitution, creating an electoral system and organizing presidential elections in line with the call and demand of the Syrian people. Representatives of many armed groups in Syria took part in this meeting where a series of decisions were taken. As the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, we emphasize that these decisions should have been taken at a ‘National Congress’ with the participation of everyone.”
The statement further said the following: “We criticize such meetings. In particular, we do not accept the presence of some terrorists who have the blood of the Syrian people on their hands. Ehmed Ihsan Fayad al-Hayis (Abu Hatem Shaqra), who brutally murdered Hevrin Xelef, Secretary General of the Future Syria Party, is on the glabal wanted list on terrorism charges. Mohammad al-Jasim, the head of the Abu Amsha group, complicit in many crimes committed in Afrin, was also present at this meeting. We emphasize once again that this meeting is not legitimate and does not represent the Syrian people.
Any decision to be taken in Syria without a National Congress including all political circles will be incomplete. The most appropriate solution to end the instability in Syria is a national congress. The exclusion or suspension of any party in Syria from the congress will be no different from the practices of the former regime. On this basis, we once again call on the government in Damascus to refrain from such mistakes. Everyone must take part in the making of the new constitution in Syria.
The government in Damascus must not allow hate speech against equal life in Syria. Steps that lead to the manipulation of one side or nation must be prevented. A few days ago, such hate speeches were expressed during a demonstration in Umayyad Square in Damascus. This kind of rhetoric prevents the establishment of a democratic government in Syria.
As the Democratic Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, we once again call for the unity of Syria as part of our national liberation perspective. We emphasize once again that everyone in Syria must have their say about the future of Syria.”

HPG Pays Tribute to Guerrillas Ekin Dilda and Mîtra Manî
Guerrillas Ekin Dilda and Mîtra Manî fell on 6 October 2024 in the Xakurke region of South Kurdistan. The Press Center of the People’s Defense Forces (HPG) said in a statement that the two guerrillas of the Free Women’s Units (YJA Star) were followers of the “Jin Jiyan Azadî” philosophy and lived with the aim of making the 21st century the century of women. “We bow to their legacy with respect and gratitude and promise to make their dreams come true,” said the HPG. The following information was given in the obituary:
Code name: Ekin Dilda
First and last name: Zeliha Mahçup
Place of birth: Erzîrom
Names of mother and father: Meryem – Mehmet
Date and place of death: October 6, 2024 / Xakurke
Code name: Mîtra Manî
First and last name: Zeynep Aslan
Place of birth: Şirnex
Names of mother and father: Seymen – Mehmet Seyfettin
Date and place of death: October 6, 2024 / Xakurke
Ekin Dilda
Ekin Dilda was born in Qereyazî in the Erzîrom province and belonged to the Berazî tribe. She grew up in an environment close to the PKK and joined the guerrillas in 2015. After her training, she took part in the fight against ISIS. “At a time when the ISIS gangs were attacking our people to commit genocide, she did not hesitate for a moment and participated in the resistance as an apoist militant,” the HPG said in the statement, adding that “she distinguished herself with her courage in actions against the Islamists and was an uncompromising advocate of the women’s liberation ideology.”
When she later returned to the mountains, she participated in the resistance against the Turkish occupation attacks on the Medya Defense Areas as a guerrilla of the YJA Star. Her last area of operation was Xakurke, where she performed various tasks and worked on the construction of tunnel facilities, among other things. Ekin Dilda was killed in an attack by the Turkish army on 6 October 2024.
Mîtra Manî
Mîtra Manî was born in Cizîr in the province of Şirnex and was socialized in an environment shaped by the Kurdish freedom movement.
As an adolescent, she became active in the youth movement and was involved in cultural work. Because she used songs to express both the pain and the joy of life in society, she experienced repression by the Turkish state. She was arrested and tortured.
In 2015, she went to the mountains and joined the guerrillas. Her decision to engage in armed struggle came at a time when the Turkish state unilaterally ended the talks on a solution to the Kurdish question and began to implement its concept of annihilation. Mîtra Manî last fought in Xakurke, where she was killed in a Turkish attack on October 6, 2024, along with Ekin Dilda.
