Rojava im Ausnahmezustand

Die Behörden in in den syrisch-kurdischen Selbstverwaltungsgebieten haben angesichts türkischer Invasionsdrohungen den Ausnahmezustand ausgerufen:

The northeast Syria (Rojava) administration on Wednesday announced a state of emergency in light of the continued Turkish attacks that have targeted area, signaling to the Kurdish administration’s institutions to prepare the emergency plans to address the situation.

The administration’s general council held a meeting on Wednesday to address the “continuous threats” of Turkey in the area, which have targeted civilians and civil service facilities, according to a statement from the council. 

The meeting was concluded with announcing a state of emergency in the areas under the administration, urging the administration’s councils, bodies, committees, and institutions to make the necessary preparations appropriate for the current circumstances, and dedicating all capabilities “in service of the people from any hostile attacks.”

Ankara often targets areas in northern Syria and Rojava.

Turkish artillery shells targeted northern Syria’s Ain Issa district on Monday killing at least two and injuring two others.
