“On the basis of Rêber Apo’s Democratic Civilization paradigm, the Kurdistan Freedom Movement is carrying out the greatest struggle of humanity with the determination to ensure the freedom of humanity in the context of the Kurdish people, to transform it into a system with the principle of self-management, and to fight against all kinds of male-dominated-statist attacks. Our freedom struggle, which has entered its fiftieth year under the leadership of our leadership, has created a reborn Free Kurdish identity under the leadership of women, has organized this reality with the mission of being the pioneer of freedom of the peoples, on this basis it has become the hope of all women and humanity and has become the owner of historical developments. Of course, this struggle developed on the basis of Rêber Apo’s historical leadership, the great power of struggle, and the sacrifice of our martyrs, who are the most radical practitioners of this truth, who are born, fed, and learned from this source.
The reality of martyrs enlarges the belief in freedom, radicalizes the struggle, increases our strength against the enemy and brings our movement closer to victory. Our comrade Amara, who is a leading commander in our struggle for freedom, which developed under the leadership of women, met with this reality by reaching martyrdom in the invasion attacks of the genocidal Turkish state against Medya Defense Zones. We promise once again that we will continue the struggle of our comrade Amara with great devotion and courage until we achieve success.
On this basis, we renew our promise to avenge all our martyrs of freedom in the person of Comrade Amara and to keep the memory of our martyrs alive in every moment of life, and we extend our condolences to the esteemed mother, family and patriotic people of our comrade Amara Ronahi.
The identity information of our comrade Amara Ronahi is as follows:

Code Name: Amara Ronahî Name Surname: Gamze Laçin Place of Birth: Mersin Mother – Father Name: Sevim – Mehmet Martyrdom Date and Place: August 2022 / Medya Defense Areas |
Our comrade Amara was born and grew up in Mersin, one of the historical centers of the spirit of rebellion and patriotism in Kurdistan, and although he was one of the children of Dêrsîm, who handed this honorable history with great resistance and costs, her family immigrated to Turkey. Although Comrade Amara was born in an Alevi and Kurdish family, she grew up witnessing her mother’s resistant and patriotic personality, protecting her culture, belief and identity, against her father’s Kemalist and pro-state stance. This reality has led Comrade Amara to acquire identity awareness at an early age, and to a development that will evolve into a free life preference with the most innocent feelings of her childhood. The pressure and imposition of the male-dominated system on women, especially in the family and environment where she lived in her youth. In the reality of the system, she witnessed the oppression of the state against the Kurdish-Alevi people. Our comrade Amara grew up with the chance to be the daughter of a conscious and patriotic mother, who was armed with the rebellious and unyielding truth of Dêrsîm, in the face of the genocidal Turkish state’s policies of depopulation and rootlessness against our people. Like many Kurdish families, her family migrated to the metropolises, so she faced conflicts in the environment he was in and turned to search. Although she grew up in metropolises, she grew up adhering to her essence, history, identity and belief against all the cultural genocide efforts developed by the Turkish state to assimilate our people. Therefore, she turned to Kurdistan and went to Amed with her mother and brother. She continued to study there and actively participated in patriotic youth work. Our comrade Amara, who witnessed the torture and persecution of our people by the enemy in Kurdistan, became more aware of the reality of the enemy. Although she fought actively in the youth work she took part in, Comrade Amara, who felt that this was not enough in the face of the enemy policies and attacks carried out in Kurdistan, turned her face to the mountains of Kurdistan, the center of the resistance, and joined the guerrilla ranks from Erzirom province in 2011.

Moving away from the essence, self and being herself in every moment she lived in the traditional society; Our comrade Amara, who reached the free mountains with the awareness that it means losing herself, took her first steps with great enthusiasm and excitement. Throughout her life, she carried the joy of surpassing the life limits imposed by the enemy and reaching the mountains of Kurdistan with the same vitality. She learned the first teachings of guerrillaism during her stay in Erzirom, and in this sense, these years were both the hardest and the most beautiful years of the struggle for her. He was influenced by Comrade Ronahî Erzirom, who became a martyr with the self-sacrifice action she performed, and became Amara Ronah by taking the name of Comrade Ronahî. This was the determination and assertion of adhering to the memory of Comrade Ronahi, as well as advancing in the line of self-sacrificing women. Comrade Amara, who never gave up on this claim and belief, did not let go of the contradictions and quests that led her to these mountains, and he sought to find an answer to each of them with the philosophy and truth of the Leadership. For this reason, she always read and researched the Leadership, and by recognizing the Leader, she acted with the truth of knowing herself. She has always been in a quest to understand and analyze the Kurdish and Alevi reality and the Dêrsîm personality, the reality of women shaped on this basis. With the excitement of meeting with the Women’s Liberation Ideology, her belief and hope in freedom were reinforced, and with the power of this feeling and belief, she did not recognize any obstacles in her guerrillaism in the Erzirom mountains. Our comrade Amara, who showed her strength to overcome the difficulties she faced,
With the ISIS attack on Kobanê in 2014, Leader Apo; She called for mobilization for the liberation of Kobanê. In response to this call, hundreds of Kurdish youth from all parts of Kurdistan turned to Kobanê and joined the resistance in Kobanê. In particular, while the fascist Turkish state aimed to break the will of the Kurdish people with the Kobanê war, the guerrillas of the Kurdistan Freedom Movement went to Kobanê and displayed the greatest resistance in history together with the people. On this basis, our comrade Amara insisted on joining this resistance, in which Gelhat, Viyan and Afrin, Özgür and Hebun also participated. The Kobanê resistance was the second turning point in the life of the struggle for our comrade Amara. There, the total resistance and struggle of the people and the guerrillas against the brutal attacks of ISIS, Comrade Amara was deeply affected by the great price paid and he made an effort to participate in this war more strongly. After the Kobanê resistance achieved victory with the heroic struggle of hundreds of sacrifices, our comrade Amara turned his face to the mountains once again. On the basis of increasing her accumulation and deepening her line of struggle, she received a strong education at the Martyr Bêrîtan Academy and moved to the Garê area with a more effective participation claim. Our comrade Amara, who embraced every task and responsibility assigned to her with the same enthusiasm and enthusiasm, and the determination to work, had a great effort in educating her comrades with her argumentative, enthusiastic and modest participation as she continued to make herself conscious by training. He also took part in HPG press activities for a while, based on being the language and conscience of the guerrilla, the spirit of the resistances and the oath of the martyrs.
From the time she joined the guerrilla ranks until the moment of martyrdom, our comrade Amara put forth a great effort to join the struggle on the basis of ideological consciousness and free female identity, and tried to shape her life on the basis of this stance. She has always established strong ties with her comrades in life and she is based on sharing her experience with her comrades. Our comrade Amara has come to the forefront with her personality trait that sees herself responsible for the development of each of her comrades, educates her comrades while improving herself, and has earned the love and respect of all her comrades. On this basis, our comrade Amara, who organized his personality, participation and struggle with the consciousness and meaning of revolutionism at every moment, was martyred in the enemy’s attacks on Medya Defense Zones.
By joining the ranks of the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle as a strong militant of our valiant Dêrsîm people, the flag of struggle carried by our comrade Amara, who approached her revolutionary duties with great seriousness and superior success, will be crowned with victory by us, the comrades who remained behind.”
