Comrade Êrîş, who considers this a great opportunity for himself, had no difficulty in adapting to the environment he knew and knew after joining the guerrilla. In addition to recognizing the guerrilla, our comrade Êrîş, who witnessed the genocidal policies, oppression and violence implemented by the fascist genocidal Turkish state against the Kurdish people, tried to develop ways and methods of struggle against all these policies.
The work and activity of Comrade Êrîş attracted the attention of the enemy, and our comrade Êrîş was tried to be lured into the trap of spying, as he played on many Kurdish youth. The genocidal fascist Turkish state wanted our comrade Êrîş to accept spying. He offered to put photo traps in the areas where guerrillas are located in the Kato region and threatened our comrade with his family. Like every honorable Kurdish youth, our comrade Êrîş also rejected this dishonorable offer, stating that he would not betray his people, and gave the most meaningful answer that every Kurdish youth should give, and joined the guerrilla. He told the first guerrilla group he saw where the camera traps he saw in the field.

ROJBÛN AMARA
Our comrade Rojbûn was born and raised in a patriotic family belonging to the Elkî tribe. Our comrade Rojbûn grew up intertwined with the culture of patriotism because his family and close circle were patriotic, she had relatives who joined the guerrilla ranks and some of her relatives were martyred in the freedom struggle of our people. Because of this, the guerrilla and our Party had the opportunity to recognize the PKK. The more she got to know our Leader, the guerrilla and our martyred comrades, the more she became interested in the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle and stated that he would not accept a life other than the life philosophy created by Leader Apo. Despite all the special war policies of the enemy, her face has always been towards Kurdistan and the freedom movement. Our Leadership The self-sacrificing struggle of our people and guerrillas for the freedom of our country, Kurdistan, has affected our comrade Rojbûn and he wanted to take a place in the history of our people’s freedom with his struggle. Our comrade Rojbûn, who is aware that the way to this is to fight in the ranks of freedom in the mountains of Kurdistan, joined the guerrilla ranks on April 4, 2015.
Our comrade Rojbûn, who made our Leader’s birthday a day of participation in the guerrilla even more, has participated in life with the high sensitivity of always being loyal to our Leader. When she joined the guerrilla ranks, the first thing that caught her attention was the comradeship relations and the self-sacrificing participation of the guerrilla in every moment of life. Our comrade Rojbun, who was affected by these sacred features of the guerrilla, became an exemplary militant by acquiring these features. Again, the value our Leader attaches to women and the new perspectives he brings to the women’s freedom struggle have made our comrade Rojbûn more attached to our Party. Our comrade Rojbûn, who wants to strengthen her emotional head with our party more and transform it into a more conscious bond, has determined to educate himself as the most basic task. She developed the world of meaning and consciousness, especially through ideological training, and became a pioneer militant by filtering his personality through the philosophy of the Leadership.
[envira-gallery id=”22640″]
Our comrade Rojbûn, who represented the measures of women’s freedom in her personality with the ideological trainings she has received, is aware that she needs to develop herself militarily in order to fulfill her duties and responsibilities more during the freedom times we are going through. Again, she wanted to empower herself militarily in order to properly fulfil her leading role as a female militant in the new era guerrilla warfare. For this, she has received operation and professionalization trainings for a long time and successfully left these training processes in accordance with her goal. Our comrade Rojbûn, who has been involved in many different works, He gave confidence to his comrades with his consistent participation and result-oriented style in these studies and continued these studies successfully. However, the ongoing war in Bakurê Kurdistan and Medya Defense Zones and the martyrdoms in this war have further increased the desire of our comrade Rojbûn to go to the hot battlefields. In particular, she insisted on going to Bakure Kurdistan, where she could inflict heavy blows on the colonialist Turkish state, and as a result of this insistence, she achieved her goal.
Our comrade Rojbûn, who turned to Bakurê Kurdistan with her commitment to our Leadership and the martyrs and the responsibility of being worthy of them, determined that her biggest claim was to ensure the physical freedom of our Leader and participated in the works in this way. Our comrade Rojbûn, who aims to break the pressures on our Leader, our people and our Movement in every work she took part in, has made an effort to embody this with her practice. One of their biggest goals in Bakurê Kurdistan, where their close relatives, Martyr Tîrêj and Martyr Bager, went to stay true to their memories, was to realize the dreams of these comrades. For this, he took a self-sacrificing participation as a basis and did not compromise this stance until he reached martyrdom.

SASON XELIL
Our comrade Sason was born in a patriotic family in the Shax district of Wan. The patriotic environment in which he lives and the fact that our movement gradually expands its activities in the Wan region enabled our comrade Sason to meet our Party, the PKK. At the same time, the attacks of the enemy against our people and the genocidal policies have made our comrade Sason better aware of the reality of the enemy. The strong-willed and uncompromising stance of the guerrilla against these policies of the enemy pushed our comrade Sason to search, and he wanted to get to know our guerrilla struggle more closely. Again, the attack and massacre of our people by ISIS mercenaries, especially in Shengal and Rojava areas with the help of the invaders, prompted our comrade Sason to struggle.
[envira-gallery id=”22647″]
After joining the guerrilla ranks, our comrade Sason, who became competent in a short time with the training he received and the knowledge he received from his experienced comrades, turned to Kobanê to avenge our people, but was captured by the enemy. Our comrade Sason, who was imprisoned in the enemy’s dungeons for a long time, maintained his militant stance here as well and became a persistent defender of our tradition of resistance in the dungeon against all kinds of oppression, torture and intimidation policies of the enemy. Our comrade Sason, who treats the dungeon area, also known as the Leadership area, as an academy, is based on deepening himself in the Leadership philosophy. Our comrade Sason, who developed Apoist militant characteristics with his concentration, was aware that the enemy would be defeated only by deepening the Apoist ideology. Our comrade Sason, who regained his physical freedom after his honorable resistance in the dungeon, which he considered as a field of struggle, turned his face to the mountains of Kurdistan and continued his guerrilla struggle from where he left off. Our comrade Sason, who had a deep understanding of the changes in our guerrilla struggle with his concentration in the dungeon, and the enemy’s orientation, continued his struggle with a more exciting and enthusiastic participation. Combining the ideological training he received in the dungeon with his military experience, our comrade Sason led his comrades as a competent commander of the new era.
We express our condolences to all our patriotic people of Kurdistan, especially the valuable families of our comrades Jînda, Canda, Êrîş, Rojbûn and Sason, who have shown that they will never let the occupation and genocidal policies by carrying out many actions against the enemy in Bakure Kurdistan, where they have been fighting for many years, and we promise that we will crown their struggle with victory. ”
