EFRÎN - Sheikh Maqsoud women, who had to migrate to Efrîn Canton due to ongoing the attacks on the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood of Aleppo by gangs’ members, condemned the silence of the world community towards ongoing massacre. Women said, “The aim of the attacks is to break the resistance of the revolution.” They emphasized that the attacks will fail.

The attacks on the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood of Aleppo by AKP-controlled, so-called Syrian National Coalition (SNC) and ENKS gangs' members have continued since February 16. Gangs’ members used chemical gases, which are prohibited by international conventions, in the attacks yesterday. 14 civilians have been killed and 52 civilians, including women and children, have been wounded in the attacks since February. Sheikh Maqsoud women, who had to migrate to Efrîn Canton due to ongoing the attacks on the Sheikh Maqsoud, reacted to the attacks. Women asked, “Why this silence towards these massacres? They also criticized the right defenders in the international arena.

Fatma Silêman, who had to migrate to Efrîn Canton due to ongoing attacks on Sheikh Maqsoud, said that the people, who have attacked Sheikh Maqsoud, are terrorists and all world must call them as terrorists. Fatma said, “Gangs’ members have blockaded our neighborhood for months. They don’t allow food or medicine to enter the neighborhood. They even don’t allow the people to go out from their houses. The silence has continued. Why do they stay silent? Gangs’ members have continued to attacks by support of Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan. However, Kurdish people will destroy his plans. We won’t stay silent against the attacks on us. We will protect the People's Defense Units (YPG) and the Women's Defense Units (YPJ) forces so far as we can. We won’t allow the gangs’ members enter our streets.”

Meanwhile, Zekiye Yusuf called on Ccvil society and human rights organizations by saying, “The silence must be broken against these attacks. Thousands of people live in these streets and they are facing to be killed. Everyone must give a voice. Dirty powers have attacked the streets and neighborhoods of Rojava. They will lose how they did in Kobanê. No power could break the resistance of Kurdish people. We will continue to raise our voice against crime against the humanity.”
