Newroz 2022 celebrated in Maxmur

The Newroz fire was lit in the Martyr Rûstem Cûdî (Maxmur) Refugee Camp.

The celebration area was decorated with PKK, KJK, KCK, YJA-STAR flags and pictures of Mazlum Doğan and Rûstem Cûdî.

The celebration started with the young people entering the area marching. Afterwards, a minute’s silence was held for the struggle for freedom and democracy. The Newroz fire was lit and people danced around the fire. Thousands of people in the area chanted the slogans “Biji Serok Apo”, “Martyr namirin”, “Ji Serok Apo re azadi”.

Addressing the audience, Maxmur People’s Assembly Yusiv Kara said: “We salute the 50th Newroz and Leader Öcalan, the guerrillas on the mountain and all the Kurdish people. We continue our struggle with the spirit of the 50th Newroz. Mazlum Doğan brought the struggle until today by celebrating Newroz with three matchsticks. Newroz has turned into the Newroz of millions of people who can resist the fascist enemy.”

After Kara’s speech, the young people organized a march with torches. The NÇHM music group and the govend group took the stage together with Artist Axîn.
