 Kobanê – There are only a few days left for Newroz, one of the symbols of freedom and resistance in the history of the Kurdish people, who will celebrate Newroz 2025 with great enthusiasm of the “Call for Peace and Democratic Society” made by Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan on February 27, 2025.

“The fire of Newroz was lit against enslavement by the Dehaks,” said Sara Egîd, one of the fighters of the Women's Defense Units (YPJ). “This resistance is a resistance for building a society based on freedom and democracy. We fight against the patriarchal mindset with the life philosophy of leader Apo (Abdullah Öcalan).”

‘Fighters have been waging an unprecedented resistance on the Tishreen dam’

Since the fall of the Baathist regime, the Kurdish people have been fighting against the invaders with the spirit of Kaveh the Blacksmith and Mazlum Doğan’s resistance, Sara Egîd emphasized. “Fighters have been waging an unprecedented resistance on the Tishreen dam to build a free and equal life. We welcome Newroz with great enthusiasm as we welcomed the International Women’s Day with great enthusiasm.”

‘Victory will be ours’

Sara Egîd drew attention to the resistance in the four parts of Kurdistan and said, “As the YPJ, we will never give up the fight; victory will be ours. We will welcome this year’s Newroz with the spirit of the ‘Jin, Jiyan, Azadî’ philosophy. We will make March a month of resistance, victory and heroism. I salute the fighters and people fighting to protect the Tishreen Dam and the Qereqozax Bridge. I wish a happy Newroz to women, youth and patriotic people, to our people who resist the attacks on the Tishreen dam, and to the fighters who defend their country. Newroz 2025 will be the Newroz of freedom and victory.”
