14/10. Big march against the invasion in Leuven

Yesterday, hundreds of supporters of Rojava came together to march through the streets of Leuven to send a clear message rebuking the Turkish State’s aggression and condemning NATO and the Belgian arms trade’s complicity. There had already been an action in Brussels at 15h, place Luxembourg, to demand the same. Take action. Now.

The war may seem far away, but the hundreds that took to the streets show that the war’s effects are felt here. Its victims are here, too. Their homes lie in ruins. Their families bled and were buried for democracy, pluralism, women’s rights, and peace.

Meanwhile, Belgium sells arms to the Turkish State. The struggle is not only in Kurdistan, because the struggle is not only for Kurdistan. The struggle is international.

Yesterday in #Leuven (#Belgium), about 450 to 500 people marched through the city and to a NATO base to denounce the complicity of NATO states with the Turkish attack on #Rojava.#riseup4rojava pic.twitter.com/KJ4AUTxFye
