Our people of Rojhilatê Kurdistan, who always keep the hope of a free Kurdistan alive and alive, did not hesitate to make all kinds of sacrifices by opening their doors to all honest Kurdistani organizations and parties fighting for this cause. Our people of Rojhilatê Kurdistan, who do not hesitate to sacrifice their most valuable assets, their children, for the freedom of our country, acted with the awareness of the vital value of freedom and being themselves. Our people, who made it a lifestyle to resist and struggle for their existence, succeeded in transferring this from generation to generation and turning it into a culture. While there is no family left in Rojhilatê Kurdistan that does not fight and does not pay the price for the freedom of our people, those who refuse to pay the price have become unacceptable in society. One of the areas where revolutionary tradition and culture is intense in Rojhilatê Kurdistan is Kotol. Our people of Kotol have always been in a struggle from history to the present, they have embraced all parties fighting for the freedom of our people and provided all kinds of support. Our party PKK, which made great progress in Bakur and Rojavayê Kurdistan in the 1990s, has become known and known in the Kotol area as well. In particular, the epic guerrilla war waged against the colonial Turkish state and the fact that the stance on the line of sacrifice developed in the dungeons became more known by our people spread to this area, and our people here tried to get to know and understand our Movement, which is considered new for the Kurdistan struggle. On this basis, with the first guerrilla groups reaching the Kotol area, our people began to get to know the PKK and Rêber Apo in the person of the guerrilla. From the comradeship of the guerrilla, Our people, who were impressed by their approach to the people and their selfless struggle without expecting any benefit, believed wholeheartedly that our Party would carry out the Kurdistan freedom revolution and embraced our Party with an unshakable commitment and belief. While the young people who were affected by the first guerrilla groups turned their faces to the mountains of Kurdistan and joined the guerrilla ranks, our people embraced our struggle more and more every day. After our leadership was captured by the enemy in 1999, thousands of young people from Rojhilatê Kurdistan, where the greatest serhildans in its history developed, joined the guerrilla ranks and gave the most meaningful answer to the conspirators. While the young people who were affected by the first guerrilla groups turned their faces to the mountains of Kurdistan and joined the guerrilla ranks, our people embraced our struggle more and more every day.
Our comrade Rojhat, who was born in Hebeş village of Kotol, grew up acquiring the deep patriotic culture of his family and environment. Our comrade Rojhat was deeply affected by the fact that he had many participations in the guerrilla ranks from his villages, his national consciousness, the martyrdoms experienced during the struggle and his recognition of Rêber Apo’s ideas. Our comrade, who is aware of the fact that being worthy of the efforts of our martyrs and our Leader is through active participation in the ranks of the struggle, wanted to join the guerrilla ranks but could not do so for a while. However, neither the regime’s repression nor the false life of the system failed to remove our comrade Rojhat’s devotion to his cause. Our comrade, who is constantly looking for and looking for an opportunity to join the guerrilla ranks, took the first opportunity he found in 2009 and joined the guerrilla ranks from the Qendil field.
Our comrade, who received his first training in the guerilla in this field, became involved in practical work in the same field after successfully completing his training. Comrade Rojhat, who stayed here for a while with one of our esteemed commanders, Comrade Martyr Hüseyin Mahir (Kadri Çelik), learned a lot from Martyr Hüseyin’s vast guerrilla experience and ideological stance, and brought him into greater awareness of how to fight. Taking the life and struggle line of Comrade Hüseyin as an example, our comrade Rojhat always suggested going to the most difficult areas of Kurdistan. As a guerrilla in difficult conditions, he aimed to lighten the burden of his comrades a little more at every moment. After working as a guerilla in many areas of Qendil, he went to Bakure Kurdistan, which has a great spiritual meaning for him, He especially suggested going to Botan, the guerrilla’s first area of struggle. Comrade Rojhat, who gave confidence to our Party with his stance in life, military depth and self-sacrificing participation, was accepted.
However, after the ISIS mercenaries attacked Kobanê, they saw it as a priority to help our people and went to Kobanê. Comrade Rojhat, who contributed to the cleansing of Kobanê from the gangs with his self-sacrificing participation, later served as a front commander in the Sirîn region. He played an important role in the defense of this region with his creative style and tactics. Our comrade Rojhat, who knows very well that our peoples will not be free until the ISIS gangs are completely eliminated, also participated in the revolutionary moves developed later. Comrade Rojhat, who had an important role in saving the Tişrîn dam, played a leading role in this move and became a source of strength and morale for his comrades.

Our comrade, who was separated from the mountains for a long time, reunited with the mountains with longing and longing and reintegrated with the mountains of Kurdistan, the center of a new life for him. Our comrade Rojhat, who wanted to convey the experiences of his intense war practice to his comrades and raise awareness of the restructuring process of the guerrilla, studied at the Apollon Academies. Our comrade, who suggested to go to Bakurê Kurdistan, which he had dreamed of going to for years, with the holistic concentration he experienced in the education process, finally realized his dream and went to the Wan area. Our comrade Rojhat, who has been working in different areas of Bakurê Kurdistan after Wan, where he was a member of the provincial command, joined the works in Bakur with great sacrifice, enthusiasm and excitement.
Returning to the Medya Defense Zones, our comrade made an intense effort to apply the war experiences he gained from Bakure Kurdistan against the enemy’s attacks on the Medya Defense Zones.

Our comrade Rojhat, the guerrilla commander of difficult conditions, never used these difficulties as an obstacle or justification for himself, and always kept his hope of success alive. For him, hopelessness and helplessness were concepts that could never be accepted. His devoted participation in the guerrilla life and his always working with the mission of pioneering made him a place in the hearts of all his comrades. Our comrade Rojhat, who played an important role in the regeneration of the guerrilla with the creative tactics and style he developed, became a commander that inspired his comrades with his humble personality and frankness. Our comrade Rojhat, who never compromised on the moral standards of the PKK, managed to become an exemplary commander with his militant stance in every field he was in, deepening in the philosophy of Rêber Apo.
As the successors of our esteemed comrade Rojhat, who strives to realize his great goals, to which he is devoted until his last breath, we will try to be worthy of them with the promise that we will realize the dream of a free Leadership and a Free Kurdistan in the person of all our martyrs.

Our comrade Rojda was born in a patriotic family in Hîzan, where the reality of such a situation was experienced and the reality of the enemy was learned through experience. But due to enemy pressure, her family migrated to Mersin and grew up there. Although our comrade Rojda did not grow up in Kurdistan, she was brought up in a way that suits her essence thanks to her family’s deep-rooted awareness of Kurdishness and deep welatparezî. For this reason, she always had an interest in the war process in Kurdistan and followed it closely. Our comrade Rojda, who was affected by the martyrdoms experienced during the struggle, always focused on how to respond and be worthy of these martyred comrades. She knew how to increase her will to fight these concentrations that she experienced day by day. As a young woman she had the opportunity to see closely the problems that women face in the current social order and believed that as the most dynamic power of society, she should not experience these problems and struggle with this system that deepened female slavery. Although she focused on various ways of struggle for this, after reading Leader Apo’s analyzes on women’s freedom, she came to the conclusion that the most realistic and conclusive struggle is possible with the freedom struggle led by Rêber Apo and our holy martyrs. Our comrade, who has been working on revolutionary and youth activities on this basis for a while, was deeply affected by the fact that ISIS gangs launched genocidal attacks against our people in Shengal in 2014, thousands of women and children were killed, and thousands of women and children were enslaved and raped in these attacks. Like every honorable Kurdish woman and youth, she believed that she should be in an active struggle against these brutal and genocidal attacks. Believing that this could only be joining the guerrilla ranks, which is the only defense force of our people, she joined the guerrilla ranks from the Herekol area with Comrade Arjin Garzan (Nergiz Akşin), her uncle’s daughter, in the same year. She experienced the great excitement of being two brave Kurdish women from the same family who joined the guerrilla and meeting the free mountains.
Our comrade Rojd received her first training in the guerilla in the field of Besta, gained a great experience by giving herself completely to the training she received during her short stay there. By learning something from each of her comrades, she gained military experience in a few months. Our comrade, who managed to reassure her comrades thanks to her willing participation and leading stance in life, wanted to move to the Kobanê area with great insistence and imposition after the attack of ISIS mercenaries against Kobanê. Although her comrades did not want to send her out because she was new to the guerrilla ranks, she was successful in her insistence and was involved in the historical Kobanê war, thanks to her intense insistence and great anger towards the gangs that are hostile to humanity. Despite not having any military practice, our comrade Rojda, who managed to apply what she learned from her comrades successfully in Kobanê, where she went with faith, became a pioneer militant in a short time. Our comrade Rojda had the honor of taking part with Arîn and Gelhats in the Battle of Kobanê, where epic resistances that can be the subject of movies and novels, took place, and fighting against gangs that are hostile to humanity, has always been in an intense struggle to remain loyal to the memory of these comrades.
She continued to take part in the war against the gangs after the liberation of Kobanê, was wounded in the Sirin Operation and received treatment for a while. Our comrade Rojda spent this treatment process concentrating on the war process and thinking about her comrades in the resistance positions, managed to recover in a short time and took her place in the positions again. She learned from her mistakes and shortcomings in the war process with the concentration she experienced, returned to the battlefield where she felt free more willingly and determinedly. Our comrade Rojda, who knows that she avenges the enslaved Yazidi women with every blow dealt to the gangs, became one of our comrades who had a role in defeating the gangs by participating in many operations against ISIS gangs in the Rojava area. She improved herself militarily during the war, wanted to become an integral militant by completing this with our Leader’s ideology of freedom. Our comrade, who was educated on this basis with her female comrades, learned and internalized the Women’s Liberation Ideology of our Leadership. She considered herself lucky to share the same environment only with her female comrades during the education process, better understood the self-power of women in this process. Our comrade Rojda, who spent every moment of her education in concentration, made qualitative breakthroughs in her personality and became a woman of equal stance and participation in her pioneering mission. here, she learned and internalized the Women’s Liberation Ideology of our Leader.

Our comrade Rojda, who contributed greatly to the development of the Rojava Freedom Revolution and the defeat of ISIS gangs, thought that she had completed her mission there, and returned to the mountains of Kurdistan, for which she longed. She fell in love with the mountains, where she stayed for a very short time, made an intense effort to re-integrate with nature as a woman and to feel the unique vitality of nature again. Our comrade, who believes that he should fulfill the role of leadership as a YJA Star guerrilla against the invasion attacks carried out by the enemy against the areas of Metîna, Zap and Avaşîn, joined the mobile guerrilla teams, which played an important role in the war process on this basis and which is one of the guerrilla tactics of the new era. The martyrdom of our comrade Arjin Garzan (Nergiz Akşin), her uncle’s daughter and her comrade with whom she started the revolutionary march, in Botan in 2017, deeply affected our comrade Rojda. The struggle and martyrdom of Comrade Arjin, who managed to become one of the most beloved guerrillas of Botan with her stance, participation, comradeship and the truth of free women she realized in her personality, guided our comrade Rojda. With her deep devotion to martyrs and comradeship, she always felt indebted and tried to be worthy of the martyrs. Martyr Arjin tried to keep the memories of our comrade alive, to expand her struggle and to carry the flag of freedom she inherited from her to higher heights.
Our comrade, who went to the Metîna area to fight the invaders, managed to turn her great anger towards the enemy into action by taking part in many actions there. Our comrade Rojda won the love of all her comrades with her simplicity in her participation, sincerity in her companionship and modest stance in life, has always been a comrade we will take as an example.

Code Name: Şoreş Serhildan Name Surname: Salih Silêman Ereb Place of Birth: Hesekê Mother – Father Name: Hiyam – Silêman Date and Place of Martyrdom: June 2023 / Metîna |
The Rojava Freedom Revolution, which developed on the basis of Rêber Apo’s idea of freedom and was the beginning of a new revolutionary process in the Middle East, has become the hope of freedom for all the peoples of the Middle East. The peoples of the Middle East, who have been condemned to darkness for centuries, who have been pitted against each other by artificial contradictions, and who have been exposed to deep poverty despite all their wealth, began to breathe with the Rojava Freedom Revolution and began to look to the future with more hope, in which they will gain their freedom. In addition to the Kurdish people, the Arab, Assyrian, Assyrian, Circassian and Armenian peoples living in the region showed great interest in the Rojava Freedom Revolution, where our Leader’s idea of a Democratic Nation came to life, and united against the gangs and invading states.
Our comrade Şoreş, who was born into an Arab family in the city of Hesekê, which is a mosaic of peoples, and his family, like all Syrian peoples, had to live under the intense pressure and torture threats of the BAAS regime for years. Since the area they lived in was under the control of ISIS gangs in the later gang attacks, they were subjected to pressure from these gangs for a while. Seeing that the ISIS gangs, who claim to be fighting on behalf of the Arab and Muslim peoples, have nothing to do with true Islam, our comrade Şoreş and his family began to wait for the day when the Rojava freedom forces would save them from this gang’s persecution. Our peoples, who got rid of the gang oppression, embraced the freedom fighters with great joy and happiness after the freedom fighters who fought selflessly to vitalize our Leader’s philosophy of freedom and to bring the peoples to the freedom they hoped for, took control of Hesekê. Comrade Şoreş, who was curious about the inspiration of the fighters who risked paying any price and fought selflessly against ISIS, understood that this could only be learned by actively participating in the revolutionary struggle. On this basis, our comrade Şoreş, who first joined the Rojava freedom forces, gained the trust of his comrades thanks to his honest and sincere approach. Our comrade Şoreş, who sees that freedom fighters derive their real strength from the strong bonds of comradeship in life based on Apoist principles and measures, was very impressed with it. He also had an intense effort and effort to be a good comrade. Our comrade, who knew that he could only be worthy of the value given to him in this way, deepened himself more and more in the philosophy of Leadership with each passing day. Comrade Şoreş, who participated more in practical work with the strength he received from his comrades, took part in the resistance positions in the Rojava area, especially against the attacks of the invading Turkish state. With his courage and unwavering participation, he became a source of strength and morale for his comrades during the war. He witnessed the massacres of the genocidal Turkish state against our people during the invasion attacks. He believed that it would be possible to hold accountable for the massacres committed by the invading army in Afrin, Serêkaniyê and Girê Sipî, by joining the guerrilla ranks and began to concentrate more on this. He also had an intense effort and effort to be a good comrade. Our comrade, who knew that he could only be worthy of the value given to him in this way, deepened himself more and more in the philosophy of Leadership with each passing day.
Turning to the mountains of Kurdistan with the anger in his heart and the belief in our Leader’s Democratic Nation paradigm, our comrade Şoreş quickly adapted to guerrilla and mountain life. Our comrade Şoreş, who made great efforts to deepen himself in guerrilla warfare tactics, prepared himself tactically, especially by learning to use many effective weapons. Convinced that the way to become an integrated and professional revolutionary is through ideological deepening, he deepened in the Leadership ideology. He thought that he should stand by his comrades against the enemy’s attacks on the Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna areas and moved to the Metîna area. Our comrade Şoreş, who has war experience, joined the mobile guerrilla teams here. He carried out many actions developed against the enemy that inflicted great losses on the enemy. Instilling fear in the enemy with his actions, our comrade Şoreş fulfilled his duty of comrade by easing the burden of his comrades who were fighting in the resistance tunnels with these actions. Our comrade Şoreş, who managed to leave deep traces on every comrade he worked with with his concise personality and sincerity in his comradeship, managed to maintain his belief in the philosophy of Rêber Apo until the moment he was martyred. As his comrades, we reiterate once again the promise of our comrade Şoreş that we will form the free unity of the peoples, which is one of the lofty goals, and that we will continue our struggle for a democratic Middle East without interruption.” Our comrade Şoreş, who managed to leave deep traces on every comrade he worked with with his concise personality and sincerity in his comradeship, managed to maintain his belief in the philosophy of Rêber Apo until the moment he was martyred. As his comrades, we reiterate once again the promise of our comrade Şoreş that we will form the free unity of the peoples, which is one of the lofty goals, and that we will continue our struggle for a democratic Middle East without interruption.”
