In Northern Syria, 2.5 million people are living in a stateless, feminist, religiously tolerant, anti-capitalist society of their own creation. They call their territory Rojava, and they defend it fiercely. They’re at war with the extremist group ISIS, and they’re doing better than anyone in the world expected — least of all the Western powers who seek to treat them as pawns.

It’s a complicated situation, but we in the rest of the world have much to learn from the Rojava revolution. To that end, we offer this long-form introduction to the history and the present struggle of the Kurdish people.

Long live the Rojava revolution!

«Ciao, se state leggendo questo messaggio è segno che non sono più a questo mondo. Be', non rattristatevi più di tanto, mi sta bene così; non ho rimpianti, sono morto facendo quello che ritenevo più giusto, difendendo i più deboli e rimanendo fedele ai miei ideali di giustizia, uguaglianza e libertà. Quindi nonostante questa prematura dipartita, la mia vita resta comunque un successo e sono quasi certo che me ne sono andato con il sorriso sulle labbra. Non avrei potuto chiedere di meglio. Vi auguro tutto il bene possibile e spero che anche voi un giorno (se non l'avete già fatto), decidiate di dare la vita per il prossimo perché solo così si cambia il mondo. Solo sconfiggendo l'individualismo e l'egoismo in ciascuno di noi si può fare la differenza. Sono tempi difficili, lo so, ma non cedete alla rassegnazione, non abbandonate la speranza: mai! Neppure per un attimo. Anche quando tutto sembra perduto, e i mali che affliggono l'uomo e la Terra sembrano insormontabili, cercate di trovare la forza e di infonderla nei vostri compagni. È proprio nei momenti più bui che la vostra luce serve. E ricordate sempre che «ogni tempesta inizia con una singola goccia». Cercate di essere voi quella goccia. Vi amo tutti, spero farete tesoro di queste parole. Serkeftin!» – Orso, Tekosher, Lorenzo From: Maria Edgarda Marcucci, Rabbia proteggimi. Dalla Val di Susa al Kurdistan.

Türkiye has resumed bombing Rojava.

This bombing takes place as a retaliation for the failure of Turkey's operations on the Iraqi-Syrian border along with the killing of 12 soldiers by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

ترکیه بمباران روژاوا را دوباره از سر گرفته است.

این بمباران به عنوان تلافی ناکامی عملیات ترکیه در مرز عراق و سوریه همراه با کشته شدن ۱۲ سربازان توسط مبارزان حزب کارگران کوردستان (PKK) صورت میگیرد.

“We were like the living dead,” said the women of Raqqa while talking about the period when Raqqa was controlled by ISIS, adding, “The liberation of Raqqa was like a rebirth for us.”

This week marks the sixth anniversary of the liberation of Raqqa from ISIS. Long live the martyrs!

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Turkish forces with heavy artillery shelled several villages in northern Aleppo controlled by Kurdish forces and the Syrian government, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on Sunday.

The Turkish shelling came after Turkish forces in Aleppo’s countryside were targeted by missiles fired from areas under control by Kurdish and Syrian government forces in northern Aleppo.

The missile attack struck two Turkish military bases: the Kaljebrin base and a base near the Bab Al-Salama crossing.

Turkish forces and their proxies fired heavy artillery shells on the vicinity of Tal Rifaat city, Abin, Kashta’ar, Mara’anaz, Tatimrash, Al-Malkiya, Soghanka and Herasha in Sherawa district in the Afrin countryside. The area is controlled by Syrian government and Kurdish forces.

Moreover, the area is inhabited by thousands of displaced Kurds from Afrin, who fled the Turkish offensive in Afrin in March 2018.

The area in northern Aleppo is known for its frequent artillery shelling and missile strikes between Turkish and Kurdish forces, which began after Turkish forces took control of Afrin. Turkey also regularly carries out drone strikes in the area.

On Saturday, a Turkish drone strike killed three Kurdish fighters in northern Aleppo.

According to a tweet of the Syrian-based Rojava Information Centre (RIC), this is the 17th Turkish drone strike in northeast Syria since the start of the year.

I’ve heard far too many horror stories about these cursed things.

Russia has been using them in Ukraine and Azerbaijan has been using them against Armenia too.

Ghastly bloody things.

Also leaving this here too.

To all supporters of the Kurdish liberation struggle, anti-fascists, socialists, feminists, anarchists, communists, environmentalists, and those dedicated to a better world: Turkey has launched probably the most widespread bombing campaign North-Eastern Syria has faced so far. Since October 5th, Turkey has conducted over 30 airstrikes, primarily in the Cizîre region and Kobanê. These airstrikes have targeted vehicles, villages, and especially critical civilian infrastructure, including oil- and power plants & gas stations, resulting in civilian casualties and casualties among internal security forces. Large areas experienced a total power blackout, with many hospitals, bread factories and other critical public institutions without electricity. The attacks continued this morning when a Corona Hospital & a power station were targeted. Despite the obvious war crimes, no reaction has been heard from the international community so far.

Daniel Baker, a US Army vet, former YPG sniper, & current antifascist prisoner, has a birthday coming up on the 17th. His support group has put together a list of books he'd like, in case anyone wants to send him a bday present! Good article about Dan's case here.
