Instead of dancing around bonfires in traditional Kurdish clothes and celebrating #Kurdish legends of resistance to tyranny, Shiwa Hassanpour, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurd and a human rights activist in Erbil, spent most of #Nowruz, the traditional Iranian new year, watching the #news.

The #SiegeOfKobanî was broken on #ThisDayInHistory in 2015. The #Kurdish city was partly conquered and its surrounding villages overrun in late 2014 by so-called "Islamic State"/#Daesh but by the end of January #Kobanî was retaken by #YPG/#YPJ & #FSA, with the villages to follow.

Today in Labor History March 17, 2016: The Movement for a Democratic Society declared the establishment of the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria. Supporters of the federation claimed they implemented a form of libertarian socialism, influenced by American anarchist Murray Bookchin, with decentralization, gender equality and local governance through direct democracy, with worker cooperatives and district councils, each with one male and one female co-president. They have also banned child marriages and honor killings, and are attempting to replace punitive justice with a system of restorative justice. And women play a prominent role on the battlefield, as well as within the political system. Yet private property remains a part of their system, which is inconsistent with Bookchinite anarchism. And according to Andrea Glioti, remnants of the PKK’s Stalinist past remained in Rojava. He cites the ubiquitous portraits of PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan, often accompanied by the slogan “There’s no life without a leader.” Since January, 2026, the Rojava have been under attack by the transitional Syrian government, led by a former ISIS militant Ahmed al-Sharaa, with the support of Israel.
