As SDF fighters, we stand with our comrades and will fight together until the end.

He said:\u201cWe draw our strength and morale from our female comrades. Their courage in life and on the battlefield inspires us greatly and gives us strength. The way the Damascus authorities have handled the issue of women\u2019s freedom\u2014especially their failure to release the captured YPJ fighters\u2014is clear evidence of their unwillingness to accept women\u2019s independence and willpower. We will never accept this approach and will continue our resistance against it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aziz also commented on the broader political context, saying:\u201cMonths have passed since Hay&#8217;at Tahrir al-Sham came to power, but issues of nationalism, sexism, sectarianism, and centralism are only worsening. It appears that they do not want to achieve democracy and equality\u2014especially women\u2019s freedom\u2014in Syria. As fighters of the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Women\u2019s Protection Units, we will continue our struggle for freedom until democracy and stability are achieved throughout Syria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Women\u2019s Protection Units Media Center<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 03.06.2025<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u2018Em ji heval\u00ean xwe y\u00ean YPJ\u2019\u00ea h\u00eaz \u00fb moral\u00ea digrin\u2019#YPJ\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qy7jVt9t5as?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the bastions of resistance, fighters of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have expressed their discontent over the Damascus regime\u2019s failure to release the captured Women\u2019s Protection Units (YPJ) fighters.
