This blog is honored to gather materials that are connected to the memory of Şehîd members of TA – comrades who fell while participating in people’s self-defense and engaging in revolutionary militant struggle.
Şehîd Tekoşer, Lorenzo Orsetti, have become an example for many of us. He carved himself a place in the front lines of the revolution, and he will always have a place in our hearts. His commitment proved to our kurdish and arab comrades that internationalists stand shoulder to shoulder with them in the fight for a free life. His sacrifice became a painful loss, a reminder of the risks we take when we struggle.
One year ago, April 19th 2023, close to Bakhmut, three comrades came under artillery fire. The attack of the Russian occupation forces in Ukraine brought their life to an end. Few days latter a vigil took place in Kyiv to remember them and their struggle. Two of those comrades joined the ranks of the Rojava revolution years before they decided to go to Ukraine, and we sent a letter for their funeral.
Today marks 5 years since our comrade Lorenzo Orsetti (Tekoşer Piling) gave his life while fighting with the Syrian Democratic Forces against the last bastion of the Islamic State in Syria, in Al-Baghuz Fawqani, Deir Ezzor. To honour his memory we are re-publishing his last journals and writings.
“Our resistance, our struggle is not sacrifice lost.
It’s natural energy properly used.”

As last day of March comes to pass, we commemorate comrades Şevger, Hêlîn and Tekoşer, who fell defending Rojava revolution, by sharing reflections on memory in struggle.
