On
the 9th October we insist in fighting against isolation,
fascism and occupation – The time to ensure freedom is now
#UniteInResistance
#SmashTurkishFascism
Last
year, on the 9th
October we declared our full support for the KCK-Campaign „End
isolation, fascism, occupation; Time to Ensure Freedom”. On
this years 9th
October we want to renew our continuous support for the campaign and
all efforts to the freedom of Abdullah Öcalan.
The
9th
October is an important date in the history of the freedom struggle
in Kurdistan. It is the day, when in 1998 Öcalan had to leave Syria,
which became the beginning of a 4 month odyssey, that ended with him
being captured and brought to Imrali prison Island on the 15th
February 1999. The Kurdish Freedom Movement refer to this day, due to
the direct involvement of many states around the world and the
leading role of the US in
the process,
as the beginning of the international conspiracy
against A. Öcalan and the Kurdish people.
The
9th
October marks also the day, when in 2019 the Turkish fascist state
started its major invasion against Rojava, attacking Serekaniye and
GireSpi. 12 days of fierce fighting followed. On the one side
horrible war crimes committed by the Turkish invaders, on the other
side heroic resistance by the women and men that fought without
compromise to defend Rojava, their home and revolution. As a result
Serekaniye and GireSpi were eventually occupied by the fascists, but
the fighting is continuing ever since.
Last
year, 9th
October 2020, the Şengal-Agreement was signed between Hewler and
Baghdad, KDP and Iraqi government. This agreement was initiated by
the US and openly supported by Turkey. Its aim is clear: Destroy the
Autonomous Administration in Şengal, drive out all revolutionary,
anti-fascist, democratic forces and replace them with another proxy
leadership, assigned from outside, which acts according to the
interests of the regional and international capitalist forces. Since
then the people of Şengal continue to resist successfully, but the
pressure is high, Iraqi and KDP forces threaten Şengal to invade and
Turkey is unceasingly conducting airstrikes against the people and
movement in Şengal.
The
9th
October has become a day of pain for the Kurdish people. We have to
turn it around and make it together a day of resistance and victory
against the dirty plans of the capitalists.
We,
the #RiseUp4Rojava
– Campaign
declare:
1.
We stand behind any effort for the Freedom of Abdullah Öcalan and we
continue to support the campaign
„End isolation,
fascism, occupation; Time to Ensure Freedom”!
2.
On the second anniversary of the war in Serekaniye and GireSpi we
remember all comrades that gave their life in the fight against
fascism and colonialism and we promise to continue our struggle
shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand with the resisting, anti-fascist
people and forces in Rojava, Kurdistan and all Middle East. Together
we will fight to liberate the occupied territories and to smash
Turkish fascism.
3.
We oppose any attempt that is taken against the free will of the
people in Şengal. KDP, which left the Yazidi people alone, when they
were facing ISIS, has no right and legitimization
to return to Şengal. For this reason we support the Autonomous
Administration in Şengal.
Together
we will continue to #UniteInResistance!
We
will #SmashTurkishFascism!
