Our victory is a victory over terrorism and its brutality. Liberation is the final chapter in the epic of confrontation and the fight against the Syrian terror we launched from the resistance town of Kubani, and the spirit of resistance shown by the fighters during the Cobani resistance in 134 days and they were able to defeat the world’s most brutal terrorist organization For the first time, it was again demonstrated in the 134-day struggle to liberate al-Raqqa, which largely ended the existence of the terrorist organization as a military force threatening humanity.

We at the General Command of the Syrian Democratic Forces declare that we will hand over the administration of the city of Raqqa and its countryside to the Civil Council and hand over the duties of protecting the security of the city and its countryside to the internal security forces in Raqqa. We pledge to protect the borders of the province against all external threats. A decentralized federal democracy in which the people of the province manage their own affairs.

We call on all countries and forces that love freedom and peace and all humanitarian and international organizations to participate in the reconstruction and construction of the city and its countryside and to help remove the remnants of war and destruction left by the organization

With this declaration we have liberated the entire city, and we have faced another task of building and achieving stability in the liberated city, which requires unity and solidarity. We therefore appeal to all the people of Al-Rigga with its Arab, Kurdish, Turkmen and Syriac components to work together to rebuild and build the city and its countryside and to form a democratic administration that represents the will of all.
