If you look at Amapiseria, Euphrates is kind of in the middle at the top. And that is... The region, roughly, where this offensive that we spoke about of the Turkish-funded militias, which has come from the west across to the east, at times closer and further away from the river and currently a few kilometres away, that's where that offensive has been stopped by the SDF.

and cannot progress any further, despite intensive air support from Turkey. And they're sort of increasingly putting pressure on that, but it hasn't got anywhere. But it's close, right? You know, it's not too far away and people are following the news.

And what's right on the other side, if you get across the river there, there's the dam and then there's a bridge further to the north, the Kerakozak Bridge, that's similarly kind of crucial. And if you get across the river, you're not far away at all from the city of Kobani. which I'm sure most of your lessons will have heard of, is this massively important symbol of anti-fascist resistance.

It was one of the ignition points of the revolution for the social movement here, and it was really important in the fight against ISIS. And I think it's safe to say that Turkey via the SNA had its eye on Kobani again, and that this is in fact an attack on Kobani, which has been kind of held back. And so the dam is important symbolically as this like strategic river crossing.

It's this kind of no pass around, like they will not pass moment. It's also important logistically, like for the society here, because it's a hydroelectric facility. It supplies electricity, helps with the supply of water for various reasons for thousands and thousands of people. It's now out of action.

It might go without saying, but when you're in the middle of an active war zone, you can't keep running a place like that. So that is directly attacking and impacting the society and normal communities here. And so, yeah, it's no wonder that those normal communities and that society always feel very, very implicated and are kind of ready to... to stand up and defend themselves.

It's not as... Yeah, the military assault is not kept separate from the society here. The society is also under attack. Yeah. Indirectly. Attacks on infrastructure such as that, and directly by, like, drone strikes on many, many civilian targets, unfortunately. Yeah.
