They ignited the spark of resistance in the cycle of struggle and, through their great sacrifices, inscribed their names in golden letters as a lasting legacy in history. Our two comrades, Agir\u00ee Zap and Amara C\u00ee\u00e7ek, through their struggle in the face of darkness, have become beacons of light on our path.<br \/>\nAt the outset, we extend our condolences to the founder of the Free Life philosophy, Leader Apo, to the families of our martyred comrades, and to our patriotic people.<br \/>\nComrade Agir\u00ee Zap opened her eyes to life in the city of Derik (D\u00earik), within the \u201cCiyay\u00ee\u201d tribe. She grew up amid the Rojava Revolution and became acquainted with the Freedom Movement from early childhood. Comrade Agir\u00ee Zap carried deep anger toward the enemy, having witnessed its true nature up close. As attacks against Rojava continued, she chose to transform the anger within her into struggle against the bloodthirsty enemy.<br \/>\nAfter completing her basic training, she joined the Military Operations Academy and specialized in the military field, where she trained with determination. She also deepened herself in the path of the free woman and continued the struggle for women\u2019s freedom. Comrade Agir\u00ee Zap further developed her character through the philosophy of the Leader and achieved intellectual and practical harmony with the thought of free life. She proved to the whole world that the free woman succeeds not only on the battlefield, but in all areas of life.<br \/>\nOn January 17, 2026, our comrade Agir\u00ee Zap rose to martyrdom following clashes with armed groups affiliated with Hay\u2019at Tahrir al-Sham in Tabqa.<br \/>\nComrade Amara C\u00ee\u00e7ek opened her eyes in the city where darkness was transformed into light \u2014 the city of resistance, Koban\u00ea. She was raised in a spirit of patriotism, carried its values with courage, and fulfilled her duty. During ISIS attacks, like thousands of Koban\u00ea\u2019s residents, she was displaced to Northern Kurdistan. These attacks created a strong motivation for struggle. In order to repel assaults against the people, she joined the ranks of the Women\u2019s Protection Units (YPJ), making the stance of the free woman her guiding example. With her youthful spirit, she lit the torches of freedom and illuminated our lives.<br \/>\nOn January 18, 2026, in Raqqa, our comrade Amara C\u00ee\u00e7ek joined the caravan of immortals following an ambush by armed groups affiliated with Hay\u2019at Tahrir al-Sham.<br \/>\nOur two comrades, Agir\u00ee Zap and Amara C\u00ee\u00e7ek, through their courageous stance, have become role models for a free and dignified life. We pledge to our dear comrades and to all people of values that we will never retreat from our goals of a free and democratic life. We will carry the banner of their resistance until victory, until the physical freedom of Leader Apo and our patriotic people is achieved, and we will continue the struggle without pause.<br \/>\nWe bow in renewed respect before the revolutionaries on the path of freedom and extend our condolences to our people who strive for peace and resistance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22314\" src=\"https:\/\/ypjrojava.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/J-225x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ypjrojava.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/J-225x300.png 225w, https:\/\/ypjrojava.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/J-768x1024.png 768w, https:\/\/ypjrojava.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/J-1152x1536.png 1152w, https:\/\/ypjrojava.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/J-1536x2048.png 1536w, https:\/\/ypjrojava.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/J-scaled.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nom de guerre: Agir\u00ee Zap<br \/>\nCivil name: Hel\u00eez Hasan<br \/>\nPlace of birth: Derik<br \/>\nMother\u2019s name: Sabiha<br \/>\nFather\u2019s name: Faris<br \/>\nPlace &amp; date of martyrdom: January 17, 2026 \u2013 Tabqa<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22315\" src=\"https:\/\/ypjrojava.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/YE-NU-200x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ypjrojava.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/YE-NU-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/ypjrojava.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/YE-NU-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/ypjrojava.net\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/YE-NU.png 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nom de guerre: Amara C\u00ee\u00e7ek<br \/>\nCivil name: Marwa Badih<br \/>\nPlace of birth: Koban\u00ea<br \/>\nMother\u2019s name: Samira<br \/>\nFather\u2019s name: Badih<br \/>\nPlace &amp; date of martyrdom: January 18, 2026 \u2013 Raqqa<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<strong>General Command of the Women\u2019s Protection Units (YPJ)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>31. 01. 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bi Sekna Xwe ya W\u00earek B\u00fbn P\u00ea\u015feng\u00ean Jiyana Azad \u00fb Bi R\u00fbmet  #YPJ\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X_SLwTJnRdE?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>The sons and daughters of this struggling people, the loyal fighters of the revolutionary cause, through their presence and faith, have faced \u2014 and continue to face \u2014 all attacks by the occupiers.
