DILŞERDA SEMSUR
Our comrade Dilşerda was born in Palaş village of Semsur. Since the land where he was born is a place where humanity started to socialize and dozens of civilizations lived on it, our comrade Dilşerda grew up depending on this culture, which is the memory of humanity. Although the genocidal Turkish state wanted to detach our comrade Dilşerda from its essence with its assimilation policies, due to its concise personality, it succeeded in understanding and nullifying these policies of the enemy early. Comrade Dilşerda, who met with the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle while she was studying at Ege University, began to understand her own reality better with the defenses and analyzes of Leader Apo. The more they read and researched, the better the public began to recognize our reality and brought the enemy’s genocidal policy to greater awareness. Comrade Dilşerda, who deepened her search for self-knowledge even more when our party started to recognize the PKK, started to receive language training in various associations in order to learn Kurdish, her mother tongue, better. As he learned the richness of the Kurdish language, he became enraged by the fact that it had been banned for years and began to react more and more against the enemy. Comrade Dilşerda, who took part in the establishment and management of the health councils established within the university, took care of the treatment of innocent people living in camps and injured due to the persecution and massacres of ISIS gangs on the basis of the work of this council. With the great love of humanity in his heart, he saw helping the oppressed peoples as the greatest human duty. Our comrade Dilşerda, who witnessed inhuman atrocities during this process and whose contradictions gradually increased, Rojava Freedom Forces and our party were affected by the PKK’s resistance against ISIS gangs to protect our people. Our comrade Dilşerda, who witnessed the heroism of our comrades who were wounded and martyred by fighting for the defense and freedom of our people, found the solution to their contradictions and the answer to their search.
On this basis, our comrade Dilşerda, who turned his face to the mountains of Kurdistan on 23 May 2015, joined the guerrilla ranks from the Amed area. A few months after joining the guerrilla ranks, the invading army launched an intense attack against our people and our guerrilla forces, which enabled our comrade Dilşerda to develop herself primarily militarily. Learning the basic principles of guerrillaism through intense warfare practice not only gave him an advantage, but also enabled him to develop a more effective fight against the enemy. Our comrade Dilşerda, who developed himself rapidly, learned the tactics and methods needed for the further development of our war in a short time and trained himself on this basis. Our comrade Dilşerda, who believes that successful results can be obtained if these tactics are used against the enemy, deepened his search and concentration in this direction. Our comrade Dilşerda, who participated in many actions developed against the enemy, later moved to the Erzurum area in 2017 and worked as a guerrilla there for 3 years. Our comrade Dilşerda, who participated in the development of many actions against the intense tendencies of the enemy in the Erzurum area, succeeded in successfully fulfilling the pioneering task expected from him in this field. Our comrade Dilşerda, who destroyed all the operations and orientations of the enemy with his successful practice, later returned to the Amed area, where he first engaged in guerrilla activities on the basis of needs. Our comrade Dilşerda, who participated in the works in the field of Amed with the weight of keeping the memories of her comrades who were martyred and with whom they fought together, and being worthy of them, He was a successful revolutionary with the lessons he learned from his previous practices. In addition to his successful military practice and revolutionary stance, he served as a doctor in the guerrilla ranks and helped his comrades whenever and wherever needed. On the basis of his socialist heart, noble feelings and lofty goals, he succeeded in becoming a beautiful Apoist militant and commander. Because of these characteristics, he has earned the love and respect of all his comrades. Our comrade Dilşerda, known for his humble stance in life, his loyalty to his comrades and his honest participation, reached martyrdom by fighting until his last breath in the conflict with the enemy on 17 June 2022. The march to martyrdom of our comrade Dilşerda, who caught the unity of thought-dhikr-action in his consistent personality and lived as he believed, was also self-sacrificing.

Our comrade Kendal met the PKK when Leader Apo started his revolutionary march and went to university in Ankara, where the Apoists, who set out for freedom, first came together. With this meeting, he started to recognize the reality of Kurds and Kurdistan, the reality of the enemy and the reality of the exploited Kurdish personality. As their sympathy for our party increased, the public became more interested in our reality and sought to meet their core values. As Kurdishness met its essence, it also came face to face with the tragedy of our people. For this reason, the determination to fight has increased even more, and the struggle has begun to concentrate more on the ways and methods. In this context, he was involved in youth work at the university he attended, and in 2013 he joined the guerrilla ranks where our people will fight selflessly in the freedom struggle.
