July 19 marked the ten year anniversary of the Rojava Revolution, when the forces that would eventually become the Autonomous Administration first evicted the regime from the town of Kobani, and shortly after the towns of Derik, Afrin, and others.
The achievements of the July 19 Revolution, as well as the sacrifices made on its behalf, were commemorated across the region. The various institutions of the Administration noted that the achievements made by the revolution include gender equality, religious freedom, and decentralized, direct democracy on behalf of all people.
The importance of the ongoing fight to defeat terrorism, and countering the attempts to undermine the Autonomous Administration and its achievements were noted as well.
