Ararat Tolhildan, a child of the revolution from Kobanê

ararat-tolhildan,-a-child-of-the-revolution-from-kobane

Kobanê is one of the places that wrote an epic with its valiant women and sons. It wrote not only its own epic, but also the epic of the peoples’ freedom. Ararat Tolhildan (Sara Cezayir), one of the heroic YJA Star guerrillas, opened her eyes in Kobanê, the symbol of resistance and victory. Her guerrilla journey, which started in Garê, continued as a strong fighter in Xakurkê. She fell a martyr whilst fighting against fascism and colonialism with her heart, soul and whole self.

Her personality shaped with the Kurdish culture

She grew up in the bosom of the revolution, witnessing the epics of the heroes who led the revolution. Her family, patriotic and loyal to their values, had shaped her personality with the Kurdish culture. She enlightened her heart with the light of the children of the fire and the Sun who fought against the dark Ehrimans of our age. As her heart was enlightened, her soul opened its wings to freedom. She was a child of revolution and always carried the spirit of revolution in her heart. She illuminated her path in the light of Rêber Apo’s (Leader Abdullah Öcalan’s) philosophy. As the darkness wanted to reign in the lands of Kurdistan, these lands were illuminated by the fire lit by the children of the Sun in the mountains. Ararat was a woman who grew up with this light and enlightened her heart. As her heart was enlightened, she revealed the colours of women whose consciousness of freedom became revolutionary, who fought and became free by fighting.   

Wholeheartedly devoted to the path of truth

The comradeship of the PKK and the stance of the women comrades attracted Ararat’s attention. In particular, the struggle of the women guerrillas based on their own strength and the fear they strike in the hearts of all reactionaries arouse her admiration. On the one hand, the slave markets of the mercenaries that surpass the middle age. On the other hand, the reality of Rêber Apo, who created the free woman. The more she sees these inhuman attacks, the more her anger and hatred increases, and for this reason she wants to take part in the position of freedom created by women. Seeing herself as a part of the revolution taking place in Rojava, Ararat seeks to recreate herself by constantly living with the enthusiasm of the revolution. Believing in Rêber Apo’s paradigm, she actively carries out youth work. If the darkness is to be enlightened and all the ugliness that enslaves is to be destroyed, it will only be through Rêber Apo’s philosophy and ideology. She devotes herself wholeheartedly to this path of truth. 

Journey to he free mountains to wage a stronger struggle

Ararat turns her face to the free mountains to wage a stronger struggle on this path of truth to which she devoted herself. She wants to meet with every inch of soil of her country, to recreate herself in the mountains. The mountains are the sacred lands where she will create herself with the colours of freedom. She wants to fight in the mountains and fight against the Ehrimans of the age as a guerrilla. Guerrilla is the name of holiness in Kurdistan. Being a woman guerrilla means meeting with your own essence in the place of goddesses and recreating life. Ararat walks in the mountains as a freedom fighter with great excitement and enthusiasm. Her meeting with the mountains, her desire to create herself by fighting in the mountains is quite strong. For her, the mountains are a sacred place where women create their own sociality and liberate their society by defending it. As she integrates with the mountains, she feels that her soul becomes even freer every day.

Taking success as a basis

She makes her first practice in the mountains in the Garê area. Garê gives Ararat a lot of experience in guerrilla work. She prepares for more difficult areas. Her self-sacrificing participation in life, her courage and self-confidence develop her in a short time and make her an experienced guerrilla. She becomes a young woman who quickly forms herself in the liberating mountains and the simple beauty of nature, creating life with the energy of nature. Thanks to her simple and modest approach, she creates harmony in her relations with her comrades and brings together all the beauties of comradeship in the PKK. She takes success as a basis in all her endeavours.

Walking with stronger steps every day

She takes life in its entirety. As she develops herself in Rêber Apo’s philosophy and ideology, she succeeds in life and war. She is aware that the isolation imposed by the enemy can be responded to not only by actions but also by creating the free woman identity that Rêber Apo wants to create at every moment of life. With this awareness, she struggles to create a free woman’s identity by deepening on the line of the free woman. She walks with stronger steps every day against all difficulties in her struggle and march for freedom. To fight against the invaders is to protect her people, her land, her identity and to defend her honour. Ararat grows a great anger in her heart against immoral attacks. To fight against an army that has no sense of humanity and morality and to uproot them from these lands is to defend the honour of her people and humanity. With this determination, she becomes competent in war.

Fighting against fascism and colonialism with her heart, soul and whole self

She fights against fascism and colonialism with her heart, soul and whole self. If fighting is liberation, she is a Kurdish woman who liberates herself a little more every day with her fight. Her guerrilla journey starts in Garê and continues as a strong fighter in Xakurkê. She becomes a militant who acts with a great sense of responsibility to play a strong role in this war and leads her comrades with her stance in life. As a result of the occupation attacks in 2024, she joins the caravan of martyrs. As a YJA Star guerrilla representing the pioneering female identity of the new era, she once again shows the invincibility of the Apoist spirit with her stance and courage in this epic resistance.
