NAVO criminaliseert Koerdische beweging in akkoord met Turkije

De aanvaarding van Finland en Zweden als kandidaat-leden van de NAVO was pas mogelijk als Turkije zijn veto daartegen zou laten vallen. Aan de vooravond van de pas afgelopen NAVO-top in Madrid tekenden de drie betrokken landen een ‘Trilateral Memorandum’ waarin de Turkse eisen om de Koerdische beweging te criminaliseren werden ingewilligd, wat de deur openzette voor NAVO-lidmaatschap voor beide Scandinavische landen.

National Interest – Bashar al-Assad is struggling for influence in North and East Syria

Original op-ed by RIC’s Thomas McClure, The National Interest, 29 October 2020.

The October 2019 ‘deal’ between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian Government was poorly-understood from the outset. Foreign press and NGO staff scrambled for the border as irrational panic spread about an instantaneous return of Damascus control to the Kurdish-led autonomous regions, to head off Turkey’s ongoing, bloody advance. Locals expressed more realistic concerns over the collapse of regional autonomy, violent reprisals, and a dreaded return of Syrian Arab Army (SAA) military service.

Explainer: Why is Turkey arresting its own proxy council members in Afrin?

Why is Turkey arresting its own proxy council members in Afrin? Mass arrests, disappearances and kidnappings are nothing unusual in Turkish-occupied Afrin. Since the Kurdish enclave’s invasion and occupation by Turkey at the start of 2018, thousands of people have been seized by the Turkish-backed militias which now control the region – hundreds in the past two months alone.

Internationalist women in Rojava: “The murder of Zehra, Hebûn and Emîna is an attack on women everywhere”

Internationalist women who came to Rojava from different territories, went to the house where our comrades Zehra, Hebûn and Mother Emîna, members and activists of Kongra Star women’s movement in Rojava, were murdered by the Turkish state. There they read a statement condemning the triple femicide committed by Turkey which represents an attack on all women in the world, calling on all women worldwide to stand up against these attacks and valuing the common struggle of women all over the world.They also demand the states and international community to take immediate measures to be able to walk towards peace in Syria, because so far the states from which they come from remain silent.

The struggle of women in Kurdistan is the struggle of women all over the world.

“With resistance we will defend ourselves! Through organisation we will end femicide!”

Wij vrouwen verdedigen onszelf!

De COVID 19 pandemie toont opnieuw de patriarchale pandemie: Wij vrouwen verdedigen onszelf! De strijd voor leven en vrijheid gaat door en wordt elke dag intensiever, vooral in het leven en de lichamen van vrouwen over de hele wereld. De kapitalistische moderniteit probeert zich bij elke stap te versterken, probeert haar koers op te leggen aan het leven van alle mensen, veegt de planeet mee en probeert elke mogelijkheid tot een andere wereld en levenswijze uit onze gedachten te wissen. Zoals we in onze recente brochure kort hebben laten zien, zijn vrouwen het doelwit geweest van aanvallen in de pogingen van het patriarchaat om alle hoop op een vrij en democratisch leven voor iedereen te vernietigen.
