Huge Newroz celebrations in Sheikh Maqsoud but a rough road back to Afrin for some people who were stopped on the road and harassed. https://www.rudaw.net/english/middleeast/syria/21032026

"Hassan said that in the center of Afrin city and on the Aleppo-Afrin road, residents were obstructed. “The Kurdistan flag is being trampled, and people are forced to walk over the flag,” he said, adding that those committing the violations were people who were previously in armed groups from the eastern Deir ez-Zor province."

Abdullah Öcalan sends a message to the Newroz celebration in Amed, northern Kurdistan:

"Today, Newroz represents not a dream or a utopia, but a real, developing communal life. Newroz is the day when we realize ourselves, both mentally and physically.

On Newroz, let us cleanse ourselves of the inadequate relationships and meanings that constantly plague us, and let us embrace life through real relationships, a profound depth of meaning, a new ethics of freedom, and a new aesthetic of understanding.

Let us put the philosophy of "Jin, Jîyan, Azadî" into practice in all our relationships, and achieve a free life."

But anyways, Newroz pîroz be! And much solidarity to those celebrating in Syria and Rojava this year.

After the Fall: Dispatches from the Women's Revolution in North-East Syria: Episode Five: First Newroz After the Fall

Our final episode takes us to the Newroz celebrations in Qamislo, where we see Syrian musician Samih Choukeir perform. Once back in Montreal, Virginia talks to Khuzama and Cedric from the media project Fajawat about the importance of Choukeir’s performance and their perspectives on the changing climate in Syria. Newroz 2025 was openly celebrated in Damascus for the first time and the holiday has taken on new significance in the wake of Assad’s fall. However, as of October 2025, the transitional government in Damascus has decided to exclude Newroz from the list of official holidays in Syria. We end the episode with an update from Khuzama and Cedric that was recorded in late September 2025 and includes talk about the massacres that took place in Sweida in July. Notes: citations On Samih Choukeir: , On Sweida: More information on the situation Khuzama and Cedric talked about from April 2025 when activists from Sweida were arrested on their way to a workshop in Raqqa: – Links Khuzama and Cedric’s media project, Fajawat: Kongra Star's website: Music credits: Theme music is from Koma Şehîd Hêva Ya Şehba available online at and interlude and outro music is from Shahriyar Jamshidi .
