Statement to Public Opinion

The assaults carried out by the factions affiliated with the Transitional Government in Syria continue, accompanied by severe violations that not only threaten civil peace but also expose the entire region to serious risks at a time when the current phase requires the highest levels of responsibility and coordination to face shared challenges, foremost among them the danger of terrorism.

In this context, the Autonomous-Administration particularly warns of the imminent danger to the ISIS detainee prison in the city of Raqqa. The continued attacks and military escalation in the surrounding area may destabilize the security situation of the prison, posing a real threat of reactivating the terrorist group’s cells. This would have catastrophic consequences not only for North and East Syria but also for Syria, the region, and the entire world.

The Democratic Autonomous-Administration affirms that the protection of detention centers and displacement camps, particularly the prisons housing ISIS detainees, is a collective responsibility. It requires an immediate halt to all forms of assault and escalation, respect for international humanitarian law, and ensuring the security of civilians and vital facilities.

In this context, the Autonomous-Administration calls on the International Coalition to recognize the magnitude and severity of the current situation, bear their full responsibilities, and act diligently and immediately to put an end to the violations and breaches committed by the factions affiliated with the Transitional Government in Syria. They must prevent any actions that could threaten security and stability and undermine efforts to combat terrorism.

The Autonomous-Administration reiterates its commitment to protecting the people of the region, continuing its duty in the fight against terrorism, and affirms that it will not stand idly by in the face of any threat to the security and stability of North and East Syria.
