---- Revolution will win in Koban?! ---- Our Comrades in Boyd? Village Reports: ---- It?s 
the 24th day of ISIS attacks on Koban?. While people?s defending forces in all border 
villages are on human shield sentry for Koban? against attacks, everyone, everywhere in 
the region we live, rised up not to let Koban? fall.

We have been on human shield sentry for around three weeks in Boyd? village west of 
Koban?. In the last two days, explosions and sounds of clashes got intense in Koban??s 
outer districts and town center. During this period of intense clashes, military forces 
increased their attacks on human shield sentries at border villages. Soldiers of Turkish 
State has been attacking with gas bombs to those who approach the border from both sides, 
including the village that we are in, which was attacked on Tuesday. Soldiers also used 
live ammunition from time to time in their attacks and wounded people.

These attacks on border villages especially mean that ISIS forces are allowed passage 
through the border. Republic of Turkey?s support to ISIS is clearly visible here as it is 
there. Of course that?s not the only thing that is clear. We have learned that one of the 
ISIS leaders commanding the attack on Koban? got killed by YPJ/YPG forces. Meanwhile 
clashes today are as intense as before and continued all day long. Sounds of clashes 
almost never stopped today. However now we know that explosions are made by YPJ/YPG 
forces. It?s reported that YPJ/YPG forces tactically emptied the streets of Koban? at town 
center and ambushed ISIS, neutralizing them with successful tactics.

Everyone?s excited by what?s told at village meetings; one of them is ISIS? fear of 
women guerillas. ISIS represents the state, the terror, the massacre and also the 
patriarchy of course. Because of their belief that they cannot be so-called ?martyrs? when 
they get killed by a women guerilla, a YPJ fighter, they are scared of encountering YPJ 
forces. Because when they encounter them, the women who ?fight? against them show no mercy 
to the ISIS lot. This is the freedom against patriarchy created by YPJ fighting.

The rebellion that rises in all of Kurdistan and all cities of Anatolia in the last 
two days, makes us feel the invincibility of organized people. These rebellions increase 
the confidence in revolution for everyone in Koban?, in villages at Koban? border, and in 
all of Rojava. Whenever a sister or brother falls, although we feel the sorrow, it 
intensifies everyone?s anger and power here. Requiems that start with hitting on knees 
turn into halay dance with feet kicking fast and strong enough to crack the earth. Thus 
our sorrow bursts into anger, fast and strong.

This is just what everyone needs here. For the freedom and revolution that?s craved, 
despite everything.

Long live the People?s Koban? Resistance!

Long live the People?s Rojava Revolution!

Long live our Revolutionary Anarchist Action!
