11 June 2015

An international brigade of fighters from around the world has been established in Rojava. The Internationalist Freedom Brigage will be fighting against ISIS and similar occupying forces.

The Marxist Leninist Communist Party (MLKP) of Turkey and Kurdistan has been involved in the establishment of the brigade since January, and organisations such as Reconstruction (Spain), TİKKO, United Freedom Forces (BÖG), MLSPB Revolution Front, and revolutionaries from Greece are among the brigade’s fighters. The brigade supports the Commander Rubar Qamişlo Initiative that began on June 6, and has released the following statement:

“The Middle East has been a bloodbath because of imperialist vampires and exploiters. These same forces brought together the ISIS so that people in the region would bow down to occupation and oppression. The ISIS gangs massacre Christian, Êzîdî, Assyrian, and Muslim peoples. Gangs sell women and children in slave markets and organise massive executions in ways that resemble the centuries-long strategies of their imperialist masters.

The organised peoples’ resistance against these forces’ desire to destroy their languages, faiths, lives, and identities has been led by the People's and Women's Protection Units (YPG-YPJ) and was successful in places such as Kobanê, Şengal, Til-Hemis, and Serekaniyê.

The Rojava revolution came to the fore of global politics and the YPG-YPJ resistance is admired and supported by impoverished masses. With international fighters, Rojava became today’s Bekaa and Palestine. The Rojava Revolution is the Paris Commune under German siege, Madrid during the Spanish civil war, and Stalingrad during the 2nd Imperitalist War (WW2).

The Rojava revolution has upset the balance of power in neighboring countries, especially Turkey, and has become the heart of world revolution and the beacon of resistance for oppressed peoples.

As a women’s revolution, Rojava has strengthened women’s will and become the symbol of struggle against patriarchy and global bigotry.

Revolutionaries across the world have turned their attention to Rojava and never hesitated to fight and die for victory here in order to expand the revolution.

Revolutionary forces in Turkey and different parts of the globe have come to Rojava in order to strengthen the revolution and expand the war to the lands they came from.
