By the KCK Co-Presidency:
To the patriotic people of Kurdistan and the public opinion
The bandit-marauder ISIS organization backed by some international and reactionary regional forces is posing many threats to South Kurdistan. This bandit organization whose main aim is the elimination of the entity and freedom of the Kurds has been carrying out bloodthirsty attacks against the Kurdish people in Rojava for two years. But it suffered successive blows and historic defeats against the heroic resistance of YPG forces and the people of Rojava. Failing to achieve its aims in Rojava Kurdistan, it has now started to launch brutal attacks on South Kurdistan. ISIS is now fighting against the patriotic and resistant line of struggle in the Middle East. Eliminating all the gains of the Kurdish people and especially the gains of South Kurdistan is the main aim underlying the invasion of Mosul.
It is an urgent necessity for all the oppressed people to struggle and resist against these attacks so that they will be able to establish a free and democratic Middle East in which all the peoples can live a democratic life in peaceful co-existence, free of any kind of ethnicism and sectarianism and far from nation-state mentality. All the peoples of the region, including the Kurds, Arabs, Assyrians, Turkmens, and Armenians should come together and carry out a common struggle against the brutalities.
Today, the gains of Kurdistan are under an open threat. But Kurdistan is no longer defenseless. The guerrillas of Kurdistan are ready for the defense and security of Kurdistan, particularly of Şengal and our people in South Kurdistan who are under threat. Under any circumstances whatsoever, the guerrillas of Kurdistan are able to retaliate against any ISIS attacks. In order to ensure the security of our people in South Kurdistan, our guerrilla forces are ready give any kind of support and fight actively, side by side with the peshmerga forces.
These attacks on the gains of our people in Rojava and South Kurdistan have once again demonstrated the fact that, unless all the four parts of Kurdistan are freed, no part would have a lasting and certain guarantee. Therefore, there is an urgent need for Kurdish national unity in order to both defend our people’s gains in Rojava and South Kurdistan and to materialize the total emancipation of our people. We call on all the organizations and struggling forces of Kurdistan in the four parts to hold the Kurdish national congress and materialize our people’s century-old dream of Kurdish national unity.
