<<Displaced woman in Til Temir: The future of our children is at risk
Hasakah- Til Temir, also known as Tell Tamer, is a town in the Hasakah Canton of North and East Syria. The town has been under Turkish ground and air attacks for about four years. Education is also affected by these attacks. There are 128 schools in the town; however, only 76 schools, 66 primary schools, nine secondary schools and a high school, are open now. The primary schools have 4,004 students, the secondary schools have 329 students and the high school has 121 students. 16 schools are in the areas occupied by the Turkish state and Turkish-backed factions and most of these schools are used as military bases. 13 schools were severely damaged in Turkish airstrikes and they will remain closed until they are repaired. Internally displaced people have taken shelter in 23 schools. In the town, families have turned six houses into schools.
'We have taken shelter in our children's school'
Fatima Al-Ali is a displaced women living in a school in the town with her eight children since they were forcibly displaced from Menacir village of Serekaniye (Ras al-Ayn). Speaking about the effects of the Turkish attacks on the education system and social life in the town, she said, <The Turkish attacks leave no safe place for us and for our children. Tayyip Erdoğan forced people to leave their houses. We have taken shelter in our children's school.>
'This is our country'
Fatima Al-Ali thinks Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdoğan is responsible for the attacks on North and East Syria.
<Erdoğan says, 'I came here to save the people'. I want to ask him who and what did you come to save? Did we tell you 'come and save us?' Do you have any relatives living in Syrian territory? Do your parents live here? Do you have a house here? This is our country, not yours. If you attack Kurdish people, we will definitely stand against you. The Autonomous Administration and our forces fight to protect our country against ISIS and terrorism. Who did you come here to save? You only displaced people.>
'Our children have been affected psychologically'
Emphasizing that their children have been affected psychologically from the occupation and attacks that have been going on for about four years, Fatima Al-Ali called on the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) to come to the region and see what the children have been going through. <Most of children have been deprived of education. The future of our children is at risk. Our children need a safe shelter and psychological support,> she said.
'UNICEF must fulfill its obligations to children'
Fatima Al-Ali emphasized that displaced children have to live in camps, villages and schools and called on UNICEF to fulfill its obligations to displaced children. <The invaders must leave our lands so that children can return to school. We need an educated generation. We do not want our children to grow up in these conditions. There are many writings on the walls of the school. There is a sign saying, 'Hope for the Future'. Children should do sports and play football with their teachers at the gym of the school, not hang out the laundry. The writings do not reflect the reality of our children.> >>

<<Palestinian activist: Women are subjected to torture in Al-Aqsa Mosque's courtyards
Gaza- The Israel-Palestine conflict that started following <Operation Al-Aqsa Flood> by Al-Qassam Brigades, military wing of Hamas, has entered its fourth day. In an interview with NuJINHA, Palestinian activist Zarifa Abu Qura said that they have not witnessed such an attack in the Gaza Strip before.
'Civilians, women and children pay the price'
Speaking about the warning of Israel for people living in certain areas to leave, she said, <Women living in the border areas face a difficult condition. There is a stampede because people try to flee from these areas. Many civilians, including children and women, were killed and injured without receiving any warning. Civilians, women and children pay the price of this conflict. After the warning of Israel for people living in certain areas to leave in 10 minutes, women had a difficult time because mothers did not want to leave their children. This caused a stampede injuring many people, especially children.>
'Women and girls are subjected to rape and harassment'
Zarifa Abu Qura also said that the main roads connecting the Gaza Strip to other areas are completely damaged so people cannot go to safe places. <This situation increases the suffering of women and people with special needs. Just yesterday, 160 buildings were targeted and destroyed within hours. The Gaza Strip has become like an abandoned house. The situation in schools is not better; some of them were targeted in the airstrikes. We have learned that women and girls are subjected to rape and harassment in the places they have taken shelter due to the chaos in the besieged city.>
'There is no safe place for women and girls to take shelter'
Highlighting that there is no safe place for women and girls to take shelter, she said, <There is no safe place in the Gaza Strip where women can take shelter, there are no shelters available to protect themselves from attacks by warplanes and drones. The buildings of some centers and organizations providing services to women were also targeted. The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that some hospitals and ambulances were also targeted by airstrikes. Since Israel cuts electricity supplies, generators have been used in hospitals to maintain essential services. There are many people waiting for treatment in the courtyards and corridors of hospitals due to the lack of beds.> At the end of her speech, Zarifa Abu Qura called on the international community to immediately push both parties to declare a ceasefire and lift the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip.>>

<<Lawyer Ruşin Hido: We should ensure physical freedom of leader Apo
Shahba- In an interview with NuJINHA, Ruşin Hido, Co-chair of Shahba-Afrin Lawyers' Union, commented on the 25th anniversary of the international conspiracy against Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan. She pointed to his struggle for the freedom of Kurdish people and said, <He has faced threats because he wants to rescue the oppressed people from the sovereign powers since the beginning of his struggle. His struggle and thoughts are legitimate and protect human rights.>
'He offers a perspective on the solution of the problems in the Middle East'
Ruşin Hido emphasized that Abdullah Ocalan offers many perspectives regarding the solution of the problems in the Middle East and said, <However, hegemonic powers see him as a threat against them because his perspectives do not serve hegemonic powers.> Recalling that Abdullah Ocalan was brought out of Syria by an international conspiracy, Ruşin Hido said, <The aim of this conspiracy was to nullify his ideology and thoughts. 25 years have passed since the international conspiracy and leader Apo (Abdullah Ocalan) has been held in Imrali prison for 25 years.>
'CPT did not meet with leader Apo'
Pointing to the aggravated isolation imposed on Abdullah Ocalan in Imrali prison, she said, <In order to prevent his ideology and thoughts from spreading to the world, no visit has been allowed. International human rights organizations must fulfill their responsibilities. The duties of the Council of Europe Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT) include visiting prisons and monitoring the situation of prisoners. Although the CPT went to Imrali, it did not meet with leader Apo. The isolation imposed on leader Apo continues in the name of disciplinary punishment.>
'If people put pressure on the Turkish state, leader Apo will be released'
Ruşin Hido added, <Self-defense will guarantee leader Apo's freedom. If people form their self-defense system, leader Apo's wish will be fulfilled. If people rise up and put pressure on the Turkish state, leader Apo will be released. We call on all lawyers and people to ensure the physical freedom of leader Apo in order to have a free life.> >>

<<'The Turkish attack on life sources in NE Syria is a crime against humanity'
Qamishlo- Since October 5, the Turkish state has targeted the infrastructure and security of North and East Syria. In an interview with NuJINHA, Evin Cuma, head of the Human Rights Association Jazeera, commented on the ongoing Turkish attacks on the region.
'45 service facilities have been targeted' Pointing to the intensified Turkish attacks on NE Syria, especially on Cizir region since October 5, Evin Cuma said, <More than 45 facilities providing services to the people have been targeted until now. Many power plants and oil refineries have been targeted by the Turkish state and now they are out of service. All facilities providing services to the people are out of service now. This causes many problems.>
'The Turkish state has committed war crimes'
Speaking about the ongoing Turkish attacks on NE Syria, Evin Cuma said, <The Turkish state has committed war crimes. The ongoing Turkish attack on life sources is a crime against humanity. We call on the Syrian government and the guarantor states to fulfill their obligations to protect the sovereignty of the people. According to the laws on war, these attacks are war crimes because the settlements of civilians are targeted. This is a crime against humanity. As the Human Rights Association Jazeera, we strongly condemn the ongoing Turkish attacks.> >>

<<Politician Mizgin Gutkar: We are ready to share our experiences with women of Sweida
Manbij- In an interview with NuJINHA, Future Syria Party General Council member Mizgin Gutkar evaluated two-month protests in Sweida, a mainly Druze city located in southwestern Syria.
'The people of Sweida never accepted slavery'
Emphasizing that the protests led by women in Sweida are revolutionary protests, she said, <The people of Sweida, the Druze, have a long history. They are known for their struggle against injustice and surrender. Sweida has been the home of revolutionaries since the beginning of time. When we look at the history of the Druze, we see that they resisted colonialism and the Egyptian occupation. They joined the uprising in 1963. During the rule of the Ba'ath Party, they never accepted surrender, colonialism and slavery>
'Nothing has changed since 2015'
Recalling that the people of Sweida also joined the protests of the Arab Spring, Mizgin Gutkar said: <The people of Sweida joined the protests against the Ba'athist regime. However, the Syrian government used sectarianism to suppress the protests, the uprising, by trying to sow the seeds of hostility between the Druze and other sects. The government claimed that the Druze had burned down a mosque. For this reason, the Druze stopped protesting the regime. When the Syrian crisis broke out, the security forces of the Syrian government launched arrest operations against the Druze, causing many to leave the country. The efforts to improve economic conditions in 2015 stopped the people of Sweida protesting. However, nothing has changed since 2015. This is what led the people of Sweida to take to the streets.>
'They demand a democratic system'
Mizgin Gutker said that the people of Sweida have demanded a democratic system just as the system of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES). <Since the system of the AANES represents security and stability, it has a broad repercussion. This system embraces all people from different nationalities and beliefs. The regions of North and East Syria are considered the safest and most organized regions compared to other regions in Syria. The implementation of this system guaranteeing the freedom of all people requires cooperation. The people of Sweida have demanded this system to be implemented in their region because they know that this system is a democratic system.>
'The revolution in Rojava become a model for the women of Sweida'
Mizgin Gutkar underlined that women and children are often considered particularly vulnerable in conflict, war and disease situations, <because they protect their societies from disappearing and falling apart. This century is the century of women; women take up arms to protect their homeland and people. In North and East Syria, women take part in all facets of life, including military, politics and social life. Since women led the revolution in Rojava, this revolution is also known as women’s revolution. The women of Rojava have become a role model for all women in the world. The women of Sweida carried photographs of Hevrin Khalaf during the protests and chanted slogans supporting the resistance of the women of North and East Syria and Iran. This shows how they are impressed by the women of Rojava.> Mizgin Gutkar expressed their solidarity with the women of Sweida and said, <The protests in Sweida are led by women. We are ready to support them and share our experiences with them. They should be determined to demand a democratic system.> >>

<<Washokani camp under attack: Silence means cooperation
Hasakah- After the attack that took place in front of the General Directorate of Security of Turkey's Ministry of the Interior in Ankara on October 1, Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan claimed that the assailants had received training in Syria. Since then, the Turkish state has intensified its airstrikes on North and East Syria. Turkish airstrikes have targeted infrastructure, superstructure facilities and power plants in North and East Syria. One of the targeted places is the Washokani camp, a IDPs camp hosting displaced people of Serekaniye (Ras al-Ayn), which was occupied by the Turkish state and Turkish-backed factions in 2019. Condemning the Turkish airstrikes, women living in the camp describe the Turkish airstrikes as the continuation of the international conspiracy against Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan on October 9, 1998.
'We chose to resist'
Xelat Xelil, a resident of the camp, thinks the Turkish attacks target the security and resistance of the displaced people. <Due to the Turkish attacks, we have lived as displaced people for four years. We have faced many difficulties for four years. We stay here so that we can return to our homeland one day. The Turkish state aims to displace us again by targeting the camp. We are not afraid of the attacks; we chose to resist and we will resist to the end. Today, the children in the camp experienced the occupation day again. Where are the children's organizations? The silence against the attacks is the continuation of the international conspiracy against Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan, the Kurdish people and their identity in 1998.>
'Silence means cooperation'
Reacting to the Turkish attacks, Fatma Elî said, <Silence means cooperation.> Speaking on the ongoing Turkish airstrikes, she said, <Children are in fear. My daughter has been crying since the first day of the airstrikes. We condemn the Turkish attacks. The Turkish occupation state aims to change the demographic structure of the region and revive the Ottoman Empire. The international community keeps silent against these attacks. Silence means cooperation.> >>

<<'We will not stop until we rescue all Yazidi women held captive by ISIS'
Hasakah- Founded in 2012 in North and East Syria's Hasakah city, the Yazidi House makes efforts to rescue all Yazidi women and children held captive by ISIS. NuJINHA spoke to Nalin Raşo, member of the Yazidi House about their activities.
'We have worked to rescue Yazidi women and children'
<The Yazidi House was established in 2012 to unite all Yazidis and solve problems faced by Yazidis,> Nalin Reşo said, <On August 3, 2014, ISIS attacked Shengal, killing, displacing and abducting thousands of civilians. The crimes committed by ISIS against the Yazidi community are recognized as a genocide by many countries. Since 2014, the Yazidi House has worked to rescue Yazidi women and children held captive by ISIS. By working in coordination with the people of Shengal, we try to identify and rescue all abducted women and children.>
The house provides psychological and moral support
Talking about thousands of Yazidi women and children in al-Hol camp, Nalin Raşo said, <Yazidi women in the camp receive death threats. They remain silent because they are afraid of ISIS women in the camp. Some are afraid for their children; some have been subjected to violence. The women, who were rescued in the camp, suffer from psychological problems. The rescued Yazidi women tell us the atrocity of ISIS. We aim to reintegrate them into the Yazidi community by providing psychological and moral support to them.>
'We aim to rescue all Yazidi women and children held captive by ISIS'
In her speech, Nalin Reşo emphasized that they would not stop until we rescued all Yazidi women held captive by ISIS. <We look for abducted Yazidi women and children in al-Hol camp and other regions by working coordinately with our local sources. Recently, a Yazidi woman was rescued from the captivity of ISIS in the city of Idlib, occupied by the Turkish state. There are many Yazidi women, who are sold in slave markets in the region occupied by the Turkish state and Turkish-backed factions. We do our best to reach them.> Emphasizing that the Yazidi women will continue to fight all forms of violence and oppression, Nalin Reşo said, <We aim to find and rescue all Yazidi women. We aim to unite all Yazidis living in different countries. The Yazidi people should return to their homeland so that we can prevent another genocide from committed against us.> >>
