Creating conditions for a solution

A perspective on the current situation, the meeting with Abdullah Öcalan, the action in Ankara and attacks on Rojava

07.11.2024

We live in a time and world where events overlap, new battlefields emerge daily, states declare wars, and news outlets continuously flash grim numbers: murdered people, abused women and children, and burned forests are reported as if they were mere statistics, detached from the lives they represent. Consequently, the world appears doomed to destruction and war. This desensitization is part of a broader effort to alienate people from their humanity, encouraging an individualization and fragmentation of society that fosters political hopelessness and aimlessness. However, beneath this state-driven propaganda, it is clear that capitalist modernity is facing a profound crisis. Political, military, and economic escalations, along with a sustained campaign against society, are indicative of the capitalist era’s impending end. In this period, which offers the chance to built an alternative to Capitalist Modernity, organized revolutionary resistance is crucial for building a truly democratic social system .

The capitalist system has expanded its reach across much of the world, bringing with it an individualistic, authoritarian, and consumerist mindset. One region in which imperialist powers like the US, the UK and European states have been striving for control and assimilation for centuries is the Middle East. The Middle East’s abundance of mineral resources and its strategic trade routes linking Asia, Africa, and Europe have only heightened its importance, particularly amid the resource conflicts of our time. The power struggle between imperialist forces, which may appear as clashing ideologies, is, in essence, competition among powers with the same goal: societal exploitation.

Since its founding, the Turkish state has played a pivotal role in this regional struggle. Acting as NATO’s eastern front, Turkey has worked to impose nationalism and capitalism on the Middle East and to eliminate any opposition. It was in response to this imperial, sociocidal project that the Kurdish freedom movement arose under Abdullah Öcalan’s leadership. This movement fights not only for Kurdish rights but also for a democratically socialist Middle East. It has withstood various imperialist attacks that have dismantled many other revolutionary movements. Even NATO’s international conspiracy and abduction of Abdullah Öcalan 26 years ago didn’t not reach its goal, because of Öcalans vision for a non-state society rooted in women’s liberation, ecology, and democracy. Moving from resistance to proactive struggle, the movement is strategically mobilizing to halt further genocide, capitalist expansion, and cultural assimilation in the Middle East, specifically by countering Turkish fascism.

For years, the revolution in Kurdistan has dealt significant blows to the fascist system in Turkey, causing it into to fall into an economic, political, and social crisis. This dynamic has led even international powers to reconsider Turkey’s value and stability, as evidenced by initiatives like the IMEC (India Middle East Europe Corridor) energy route, approved at the last G20 summit, which conspicuously bypasses Turkey. It can be seen as a signal for the US looking for alternatives that don’t require the Turkish state.

The recent developments in Turkey can be understood in this context as well: The recent campaign, “Freedom for Abdullah Öcalan – For a Political Solution to the Kurdish Question,” launched on October 10, 2024, by international friends of the Kurdish people supports their search for a political solution to the Kurdish question, and is a comprehensive offensive, aimed at securing Öcalan’s freedom and opening the way for democratizing the Middle East. This campaign, as part of a political, social, organisational and military offensive has struck Turkish fascism hard with growing international support, new organizational efforts in northern Kurdistan, the bolstering of autonomous governance in northeastern Syria, and the spread of the “Jin, Jiyan, Azadî” philosophy based on Öcalan’s ideas. The slogan echoing globally, from India to Myanmar to academic and governmental institutions, indicates that he international resonance of Öcalan’s message. In the meantime the Turkish state’s military continues to face defeat after defeat against the armed resistance of the Guerrilla in the mountains. Despite high-tech NATO support and state-of-the-art weaponry, Turkey’s military has been unable to conquer the Medya defense areas in southern Kurdistan, and the Turkish government’s claim of having eliminated guerrilla forces in Bakûr (northern Kurdistan) stands contradicted by ongoing intense battles in the region.

In Turkish metropolises and economic centers, urban militias maintain steady resistance, including a action on October 23, 2023, by guerrilla fighters Şehîd Asya Ali and Şehîd Rojger Helîn in Ankara. Their attack on a critical production center for Turkey’s combat drones demonstrated that PKK militants, despite extensive intelligence efforts, can still penetrate Turkey’s security measures and strike in the heart of Turkish Fascism.


Despite persistent state repression, the Kurdish freedom movement has continued to pave the way for democratic modernity. The democratic nation model it promotes, which values an organized and diverse society over nationalism, has gained traction, resisting both Turkish fascism and external capitalist influences in the Middle East. In Rojava, Arabs, Assyrians, Armenians, and Kurds work together to lay the foundations of an moral and political society, even in harsh conditions.

The achievements of this liberation movement are bringing capitalist modernity to the brink of collapse. NATO, having long relied on Turkey to suppress the revolutionary movement, is now showing a lack of confidence in Turkey’s regime, which for 50 years, every year again predicts the Kurdish movement’s defeat only to fail again. The AKP/MHP regime, which relies on external support for survival and maintains diplomatic links across the Middle East, hoping to extract advantages is in a state of fear. Turkey’s policy of engaging with Hamas while maintaining trade with Israel, supporting the Islamic State while simultaneously strengthening ties with Syria and Iraq, reflects a strategy of exploiting every possible opportunity and playing everyone. However, such games are increasingly at odds with the interests of the US led bloc of western-imperialism, who now sees Turkey’s aspirations for regional dominance as an obstacle to their agenda in the Middle East. And if the conflicts deepen and spread to Turkey, it will be difficult for Turkey to withstand the simultaneous struggle for control and the fight against the Kurdish freedom movement.

Under pressure on numerous fronts, the AKP/MHP regime and its international backers allowed a meeting between Abdullah Öcalan and his nephew, DEM Party politician Ömer Öcalan, after three and a half years of complete isolation. Even though the Turkish state pretends to be open to dialog with Öcalan, its history of extermination, colonialism and genocide continues to shape its actions. Previous attempts of peace have only served to contain the resistance and suppress social dissent. Recent events, including statements from MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli regarding peace talks, should be viewed with caution, as they likely serve both to weaken internal opposition and to project a conciliatory image internationally, as part of a broader special war strategy. When closing reading the words of Bahçeli it gets clear that what the AKP-MHP regime is demanding is not peace, but surrender. Because in the current circumstances what laying down arms essentially means is this.

In Rojava, Turkish attacks on civilian infrastructure reveal the unchanged political ambitions of the fascist regime, which seeks to complete the cultural genocide of Kurds and expand territorial control.Since a complete military victory cannot be achieved, the Turkish state has attempted to weaken the self-administration in north-eastern Syria by attacking critical infrastructure. Yet this, too, has been thwarted by the resistance of the Kurdish people. Dirty warfare tactics—including misinformation campaigns, mass-arrests, and chemical weapon attacks against guerrillas—have failed to sustain fascism.

The achievements of the Kurdish Freedom and its allies so far have inspired continued resistance, as the weakening of hegemonic powers opens opportunities for democratic forces to increase pressure. Abdullah Öcalan himself has stressed that fascism must be met with organized societal resistance.

Analysis of the current political situation

In this in-depth interview, Murat Karayılan, reflects on the harrowing battle against ISIS in Kurdistan. He recounts how the guerrilla and the YPG saved the population in Şengal and the courageous resistance in Kobanê. Karayılan reveals untold stories of the young men and women who took on ISIS, securing freedom and safety—not only for the region but for the world

When the so-called Islamic State, or ISIS for short, advanced on the Ezidi city of Şengal (Sinjar) in northern Iraq (southern Kurdistan) in August 2014, crimes were committed that seemed almost unimaginable in this form in the 21st century. The cruelty and brutality inflicted on the members of one of the region’s oldest religious communities in the days that followed can hardly be put into words. To this day, the fate of thousands of abducted women and girls remains unknown, and it is believed that not all the mass graves in which the dead were buried have been found.

The anger of people all over the world was mixed with a feeling of deep sadness and powerlessness in the face of the situation. The anger was directed at the heinous perpetrators, of course, but also at those who had left the Ezidi population unprotected, and at those who stood by and watched the crimes instead of intervening, despite claiming to be part of a so-called anti-IS coalition.

But there were also people who turned their anger into action, who did not fall into impotent grief, but wanted to put an end to the suffering and protect the people from further attacks. While all other armed forces and armies in the region, equipped with the latest weapons technology, left the field to IS without a fight, it was true heroes and heroines who stood in the way of this murderous band of jihadists.

They fought to clear an escape corridor in northern Iraq in order to save the Ezidi population from an even greater genocide. A short time later, they confronted ISIS in Kobanê and did not give up in an almost hopeless situation until they inflicted the first defeat on the battlefield on the previously “invincible” ISIS. A few years later, they ended the territorial rule of ISIS in Baghouz in eastern Syria and made not only the region but the whole world safer. Anyone who remembers the many terrible terrorist attacks carried out by ISIS in the middle of Europe should know that we here in Western Europe also owe a great deal to these men and women. Because they have also made our lives safer here.

But who are these young women and men to whom we owe so much? Where did they find the courage to confront IS in this way and at great sacrifice? And how did their fight unfold?

Murat Karayılan answers these questions in an in-depth interview. He tells the story of this heroic resistance as we have never known it before. He shares with us important information from this period that has rarely or never been made public.
Karayılan is a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK for short. And to say it straight away: the PKK has played a prominent role in this fight. The same PKK that saved us from ISIS and possibly saved the lives of tens of thousands of people is still listed and criminalized as a terrorist organization in the EU today. That is a disgrace for Europe.

The original interview was published in early 2022. With some delay, we would now like to make it available in English. This important interview has lost none of its significance and actuality. It is the testimony of a man who was directly involved in the fight against ISIS. And we believe that these statements should be heard in order to better understand one of the most defining periods in the recent history of the Middle East.

Κάλεσμα σε δράσεις για την Β.Α Συρια

24.10.2024

Από το βράδυ της 23ης Οκτωβρίου 2024, οι φασιστικές δυνάμεις του τουρκικού κράτους άρχισαν μια έντονη βομβιστική επίθεση στην ύπαιθρο, τα χωριά και τις πόλεις της βορειοανατολικής Συρίας. Το επίκεντρο των τελευταίων επιθέσεων ήταν η Rojava, αλλά στο στόχαστρο μπήκαν επίσης το Şengal και τα βουνά του νότιου Κουρδιστάν. Για άλλη μια φορά οι άνθρωποι ξύπνησαν με τον ήχο των βομβών να πέφτουν γύρω τους, ενώ οι εργάτες βρέθηκαν να διακινδυνεύουν τη ζωή τους για να συνεχίσουν να παράγουν ζωτικής σημασίας προμήθειες για τους ανθρώπους. Δεκάδες πολίτες και εργάτες έχουν ήδη χάσει τη ζωή τους μαρτυρικά και ακόμη περισσότεροι έχουν τραυματιστεί σοβαρά. Τα χτυπήματα των μη επανδρωμένων αεροσκαφών κατέστρεψαν αρτοποιεία, σταθμούς βενζίνης και ηλεκτρικού ρεύματος. Τα κέντρα των Δυνάμεων Εσωτερικής Άμυνας (Asayîş) ήταν επίσης ένας άλλος κύριος στόχος, στον οποίο έχουν ήδη μαρτυρήσει αρκετά μέλη των δυνάμεων Asayîş. Η Τουρκία θέτει όλους τους κατοίκους της βορειοανατολικής Συρίας υπό πολιορκία. Η καταστροφή υπηρεσιών που διασφαλίζουν τη βιωσιμότητα της κοινωνίας δείχνει μια σαφή επίθεση στα επιτεύγματα του λαού που αυτοοργανώνεται.

Ο ρόλος των κρατών της Ευρώπης, όπως η Γερμανία, η Βρετανία, η Ισπανία και η Ιταλία, είναι σαφής. Όλα αυτά τα κράτη προμηθεύουν την Τουρκία με τα όπλα τα οποία και χρησιμοποιεί στη συνέχεια για να επιτεθεί στη βορειοανατολική Συρία και την επαναστατική κοινωνία εκεί. Η πρόθεσή τους είναι να επεκτείνουν την υποστήριξή τους προς την Τουρκία, όπως φαίνεται από τις πρόσφατες συζητήσεις μεταξύ και των πέντε κρατών για την αποστολή αεροσκαφών Eurofighter που κατασκευάζονται από την Airbus, την BAE Systems και τη Leonardo από την Ευρώπη στην Τουρκία.

Αυτές οι πιο πρόσφατες επιθέσεις έρχονται λίγο περισσότερο από ένα χρόνο μετά τις περσινές. Τον Οκτώβριο του 2023 η Τουρκία άρχισε να βομβαρδίζει κρίσιμες μη στρατιωτικές υποδομές. Οι επιθέσεις δεν σταμάτησαν μέχρι τον Ιανουάριο του 2024.

Για να σταματήσουν οι επιθέσεις πρέπει να σταθούμε στο πλευρό του λαού της βορειοανατολικής Συρίας για την υπεράσπιση της δημοκρατικής και ισότιμης ζωής και του συστήματος που οικοδομείται εκεί, πρέπει να δώσουμε μια ισχυρή απάντηση αγωνιζόμενοι από κοινού και να ασκήσουμε αρκετή πίεση στο τουρκικό κράτος ώστε να καταστήσουμε πολιτικά αδύνατη την πραγματοποίηση περαιτέρω επιθέσεων. Για να το κάνουμε αυτό πρέπει να είμαστε οργανωμένοι.

Συμμετέχετε σε τοπικές δράσεις ή/και οργανώστε τις δικές σας, αυτό είναι θεμελιώδες για να γίνουν γνώστες οι πραγματικότητες των ανθρώπων εδώ ώστε να επηρεαστούν τα κράτη και οι εταιρείες που είναι συνένοχοι στις επιθέσεις αυτές.

Καλούμε όλους τους φίλους και συμμάχους μας να μας ακολουθήσουν στους δρόμους. Μαζί θα σταματήσουμε τις επιθέσεις στη βορειοανατολική Συρία και θα υπερασπιστούμε την επανάστασή μας!

Crida a l’acció pel nord i l’est de Síria

24.10.2024

Ahir a la nit, el 23 d’octubre de 2024, les forces feixistes de l’estat turc van iniciar un intens bombardeig al camp, pobles i ciutats del nord i l’est de Síria. El centre d’aquests atacs va ser Rojava, però també van ser atacats Şengal i les muntanyes del Kurdistan del Sud. Una altra vegada, la gent es va despertar amb el so de les bombes que queien al seu voltant mentre els treballadors es trobaven arriscant la vida per continuar produint subministraments vitals per al seu poble. Alguns civils i treballadors han caigut màrtirs i n’hi ha més greument ferits. Els atacs dels drons van destruir forns de pa, gasolineres i estacions elèctriques. Els centres de les Asayîş (Forces de Defensa Internes) també van ser un altre dels objectius principals, en el qual jan caure màrtirs diversos membres d’aquest cos. Turquia està posant sota setge tota la població del nord i l’est de Síria. La destrucció de serveis que possibiliten la sostenibilitat de la societat mostra un clar atac als assoliments de les persones que viuen en aquest territori per autoorganitzar-se.

El paper dels estats a Europa com Alemanya, Gran Bretanya, l’Estat espanyol i Itàlia és clar. Tots els estats subministren a Turquia les armes que després utilitza per atacar el nord i l’est de Síria i la societat revolucionària d’allà. I la seva intenció no és altra que ampliar el seu suport a Turquia, com ho demostren les discussions recents entre els cinc estats per enviar avions Eurofighter fabricats per Airbus, BAE Systems i Leonardo des d’Europa a Turquia.

Aquests atacs recents arriben poc més d’un any després dels de l’any passat. L’octubre de 2023 Turquia va començar a bombardejar infraestructures civils crítiques: els atacs no es van aturar fins al gener de 2024.

Cal aturar els atacs i estar al costat del poble del nord i l’est de Síria en la defensa de la vida i el sistema democràtics i igualitaris que s’hi construeixen. Hem de donar una resposta contundent lluitant juntes i fent prou pressió sobre l’estat turc per fer políticament impossible que hi hagi més atacs. Per fer-ho hem d’estar organitzades.

Suma’t a accions locals i organitza les teves, això és fonamental per fer difusió de la realitat de la gent d’aquí i per influir en els estats i empreses còmplices dels atacs.

Fem una crida a totes les nostres companyes, companys i aliats perquè s’uneixin a nosaltres al carrer. Juntes aturarem els atacs al nord i l’est de Síria i defensarem la nostra revolució!

Chiamata all’azione per il Nord-Est della Siria (Rojava)

24.10.2024

La scorsa notte, il 23 ottobre 2024, le forze fasciste dello stato turco hanno sferrato un intenso bombardamento nelle campagne, nei villaggi e nelle città del Nord-Est della Siria. Il centro di questi ultimi attacchi è il Rojava, ma anche Sengal e le montagne nel Kurdistan del sud sono state colpite. Di nuovo la popolazione si è svegliata con il suono delle bombe che cadevano e i lavoratori hanno rischiato la loro vita per continuare a produrre servizi vitali per le persone. Alcuni civili e lavoratori sono caduti martiri ed altri gravemente feriti.

Gli attacchi dei droni hanno distrutto panifici, infrastrutture di petrolio ed elettricità. Anche i centri delle Asayîş (Forze di Difesa Interna) sono state un altro obiettivo principale, di cui già diversi membri delle forze Asayîş sono caduti martiri. La Turchia sta mettendo sotto assedio tutta la popolazione della Siria del Nord-Est. La distruzione di servizi atti al sostegno della società dimostra un chiaro attacco alle conquiste della popolazione nella auto-organizzazione.

Il ruolo degli stati europei come Germania, Gran Bretagna, Spagna e Italia è chiaro. Tutti gli stati forniscono alla Turchia le armi che poi utilizza per attaccare il Nord-Est della Siria e la società rivoluzionaria presente. Il loro intento è solo quello di aumentare il loro sostegno alla Turchia, come dimostrato dalle recenti discussioni tra tutti e cinque gli stati per inviare aerei Eurofighter realizzati da Airbus, BAE Systems e Leonardo dall’Europa alla Turchia.

Questi recenti attacchi arrivano poco più di un anno dopo quelli dello scorso anno. Nell’ottobre 2023 la Turchia ha iniziato a bombardare le infrastrutture civili critiche: gli attacchi non si sono fermati fino a gennaio 2024.

Per fermare gli attacchi e schierarsi a sostegno del popolo del Nord-Est della Siria in difesa della vita e del sistema democratico ed equo che sta venendo costruito lì, dobbiamo dare una risposta forte combattendo insieme ed esercitando una pressione sufficiente sullo Stato turco per rendergli politicamente impossibile l’attuazione di ulteriori attacchi. Per fare questo dobbiamo essere organizzati.

Unisciti alle azioni locali o organizzane di nuove, questo è fondamentale per rendere gli altri consapevoli della realtà delle persone qui e per influenzare gli stati e le aziende complici degli attacchi.

Ci appelliamo a tutti i nostri amici e alleati per unirsi a noi nelle strade. Insieme fermeremo gli attacchi al Nord-Est della Siria e difenderemo la nostra Rivoluzione!

AKTIONSAUFRUF FÜR NORDOSTSYRIEN (ROJAVA)

24.10.2024

In der vergangenen Nacht, am 23. Oktober 2024, begannen die faschistischen Kräfte des türkischen Staates mit einem intensiven Bombenangriff auf ländliche Gebiete, Dörfer und Städte im Nordosten Syriens. Das Zentrum der jüngsten Angriffe war Rojava, aber auch Șengal und die Berge Südkurdistans wurden angegriffen. Wieder erwachten die Menschen durch das Geräusch von Bomben, die um sie herum fielen, während die ArbeiterInnen ihr Leben riskierten, um lebenswichtige Güter für die Bevölkerung zu produzieren. Einige ZivilistInnen und ArbeiterInnen haben bereits ihr Leben verloren und weitere wurden schwer verletzt. Die Drohnenangriffe haben Bäckereien, Tankstellen und Elektrizitätswerke zerstört. Zentren der Asayîș (Internationale Verteidigungskräfte) waren ein weiteres Hauptziel, bei dem bereits mehrere Angehörige der Asayîș-Kräfte den Märtyrertod fanden. Die Türkei setzt alle Menschen in Nordostsyrien unter Belagerung. Die Zerstörung von Dienstleistungen, die der Nachhaltigkeit der Gesellschaft dienen, ist ein klarer Angriff auf die Errungenschaften der Menschen, sich selbst zu organisieren.

Die Rolle der europäischen Staaten wie Deutschland, Grossbritannien, Spanien und Italien ist klar. Alle diese Staaten liefern der Türkei die Waffen, mit denen sie dann Nordostsyrien und die dortige revolutionäre Gesellschaft angreift. Sie haben nur die Absicht, ihre Unterstützung für die Türkei auszuweiten, wie die jüngsten Gespräche zwischen allen fünf Staaten über die Lieferung von Eurofighter-Jets von Airbus, BAE Systems und Leonardo von Europa in die Türkei zeigen.

Diese jüngsten Angriffe erfolgen etwas mehr als ein Jahr nach den Angriffen des letzten Jahres. Im Oktober 2023 begann die Türkei mit der Bombardierung kritischer ziviler Infrastrukturen; die Angriffe stoppten erst im Januar 2024.

Wir müssen die Angriffe stoppen und mit den Menschen in Nordostsyrien zusammenstehen, um das demokratische und gleichberechtigte Leben und System, das dort aufgebaut wird, zu verteidigen. Wir müssen eine starke Antwort geben, indem wir gemeinsam kämpfen und genug
Druck auf den türkischen Staat ausüben, um es ihm politisch unmöglich zu machen, weitere Angriffe durchzuführen. Dazu müssen wir organisiert sein.

Beteiligt euch an lokalen Aktionen und organisiert eigene. Das ist wichtig, um andere auf die Realität der Menschen vor Ort aufmerksam zu machen und Druck auf die Staaten und Unternehmen auszuüben, die an den Angriffen beteiligt sind.

Wir rufen alle unsere Freunde und Verbündeten auf, mit uns auf die Strasse zu gehen. Gemeinsam werden wir die Angriffe auf Nordostsyrien stoppen und unsere Revolution verteidigen!

SYRIE (ROJAVA)

24.10.2024

La nuit dernière du 23 au 24 octobre 2024, les forces fascistes de l’État turc ont commencé à bombarder intensément les campagnes, les villages et les villes du nord-est de la Syrie. Le centre des dernières attaques était le Rojava, mais la région de Şengal ainsi que les montagnes du sud-Kurdistan ont également été visés. Une fois de plus, les gens se sont réveillés au son des bombes qui tombaient autour d’eux, tandis que les travailleurs risquaient leur vie pour continuer à produire des denrées vitales pour la population. Certains civils et travailleurs sont déjà tombés en martyrs et d’autres ont été gravement blessés. Les frappes des drones ont détruit des boulangeries, des stations-service et des centrales électriques. Plusieurs centres des forces Asayîş ont aussi été des cibles privilégiées au sein desquels plusieurs membres sont tombés en martyrs. La Turquie assiège tous les habitants du nord-est de la Syrie. La destruction d’infrastructures civiles conduisant à la durabilité de la société montre une attaque claire contre les réalisations du peuple à s’auto-organiser.

Le rôle des États en Europe comme l’Allemagne, La France, la Grande-Bretagne, l’Espagne et l’Italie est clair. Tous ces États fournissent à la Turquie les armes utilisées ensuite pour attaquer le nord-est de la Syrie et la société révolutionnaire sur place. L’intention de ces Etats complice est uniquement d’élargir leur soutien à la Turquie, comme le montrent les discussions récentes entre ces États pour envoyer des jets euro-fights, de l’Europe à la Turquie, fabriqués par Airbus, BAE Systems et Leonardo.

Ces récentes attaques surviennent un an après la dernière période d’intensification des bombardements qui ciblaient déjà les infrastructures civiles d’octobre 2023 à janvier 2024.

Pour arrêter les attaques et se tenir aux côtés des populations du nord et de l’est de la Syrie dans la défense du système démocratique et égalitaire qui s’y construit nous devons donner une réponse forte. En nous battant ensemble et en mettant suffisamment de pression sur l’État turc pour leur rendre politiquement impossible de faire d’autres attaques. Pour ce faire, nous devons être organisés.

Rejoignez les actions locales et organisez les vôtres, c’est fondamental pour sensibiliser les autres à la réalité des gens dans ces régions et à influencer les États et les entreprises complices des attaques.

Call to Action for North East Syria

24.10.2024

Read in French, Italian, Catalan, Greek and German

Last night, on 23 October 2024, the fascist forces of the Turkish state began an intense bombing attack on the countryside, villages, and cities of North-East Syria. The center of the latest attacks was Rojava, but also Şengal and the mountains of Southern Kurdistan were targeted. Again people woke to the sound of bombs falling around them while workers found themselves risking their lives to continue producing vital supplies for the people. Some civilians and workers have already been martyred and more badly injured. The strikes of the drones destroyed bakeries, petrol and electricity stations. Centers of the Asayîş (Internal Defense Forces) were also another main target, in which already several members of the Asayîş forces were martyred. Turkey is putting all people of North-East Syria under siege. Destroying services belonging to the sustainability of the society shows a clear attack on the achievements of the people to be self-organized.

The role of the states in Europe like Germany, Britain, Spain and Italy is clear. All states supply Turkey with the weapons it then uses to attack North-East Syria and the revolutionary society there. Their intention is only to expand their support of Turkey as shown by recent discussions between all five states to send Eurofighter jets made by Airbus, BAE Systems, and Leonardo from Europe to Turkey.

These most recent attacks come just over a year after those of last year. In October 2023 Turkey began bombing critical civilian infrastructures: the attacks did not stop until January 2024.

To stop the attacks and stand with the people of North-East Syria in the defence of the democratic and equal life and system that is build up there. We must give a strong response by fighting together and putting enough pressure on the Turkish state to make it politically impossible for them to make further attacks. To do this we must be organized.

Join local actions and organise your own, this is fundamental to make others aware of the reality of the people here and to influence the states and companies complicit in the attacks.

We call on all our friends and allies to join us on the streets. Together we will stop the attacks on North-East Syria and defend our Revolution!

We stand with the Guerrilla!

14.08.2024

Our comrades in the tunnels of Zap and Metîna are fighting against the occupying Turkish army – we call on all our friends to show them we stand by their side!

Comrades from all parts of the world are taking part in the resistance against the Turkish army and defending humanity against the forces of NATO and, its lapdog, the Turkish state. With their new tactics of refined tunnel warfare, mobile guerrilla units – or “ghost guerillas” as commander Murat Karayilan called them – and the use of drones by the guerrilla air defense units, the guerilla have destroyed the plans of the Turkish state.

As one comrade who fought in the mountains told us:


“Any form of action carried out in other parts of the world is a great source of morale for our friends at the front. Even a simple protest march, has a motivating effect.”


In autumn and winter, our friends in the mountains will take advantage of the favorable weather conditions and put pressure on the occupiers with revolutionary operations. In anticipation of this we will make a small but meaningful contribution:
Let’s show our comrades on the front lines in the struggle against the state, power and violence that, wherever we are, we are advancing the revolution and standing shoulder to shoulder with the guerrillas for a better world!

Send a message from your organisation or location to the mountains of guerilla. Use the proposed slogans below, write your message and get creative: use banners, stencils, graffiti, stickers

From Paris to the freedom fighters in Kurdistan: Bijî Gerîla!
From Rise4Rojava to the freedom fighters in Kurdistan: You are a light in the darkness!
From Brazil to the freedom fighters in Kurdistan: Serkeftin an Serkeftin!

Send us pictures and videos of your actions until 1 October 2024 to: [email protected]
We will then forward your actions directly to our comrades in the mountains of Kurdistan.

Long live the guerrilla! – Bijî Gerîla!
Long live internationalism – Bijî Enternasyonalîsm!
Long live the world revolution! – Bijî şoreşa cihanê!

We stand with the Guerilla!

This war is the physical clash of two modernities, two antagonistic worldviews

Interview with Sîpan Nûjiyan, International HPG Fighter

29.08.2024
Interview by Riseup4Rojava

A large scale operations of the Turkish Army in Southern Kurdistan, particularly focused on the Metina region, which has been heavily contested since 2022 is the scene of intense fighting between the Turkish invading Army and the guerrilla forces of the People’s Defense Forces and the Free Women’s Units, the YJA Star and HPG. Despite years of Turkish military operations and continuous bombardment, there are still areas in Metîna where the guerrillas, primarily from war tunnels, have maintained their positions and continue to resist the Turkish state’s advance. We spoke to a International Guerrilla about the current situation and the meaning and implications of the war in Kurdistan.

1) Can you Introduce yourself?

My name is Sîpan Nûjiyan. My roots are in west Europe. In the year 2019 I joined the Kurdish liberation movement. Since then I have spent most of the time in the Mountains of Kurdistan as a part of the peoples defence forces HPG.

2) In recent months the Turkish state has deployed thousands of soldiers, armored vehicles and heavy material into Southern Kurdistan, respectively the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. How is the situation right now in Southern Kurdistan? What can you tell us about the latest developments?

To understand the recent Situation, it is at least necessary to understand the style of war that is fought in the last nine years. Until 2015 there has been a process of negotiations between Rêber APO and the Turkish state, that gave at least little hope for political solutions of the Kurdish question. This process found an abrupt ending from the Turkish side and what followed was the attempt to wage all out war with the one goal to drown the Kurdish question in blood. This war has reached a tipping point and has be come a matter of to be or not to be. The Turkish state has put everything they had on one card. Whatever the human, financial and political cost may be, any liberation aspirations of the Kurdish people were to be eliminated. As much as I named the Turkish state, it is important to understand that the Turkish state is not an autonomous subject, much more, as a NATO member, it is guided by the interests of the hegemonic forces of capitalist modernity.

Furthermore we need to understand, that the situation in the region and the developments in other places like Ukraine, Palestine and Karabakh for example are not at all isolated, but all battlegrounds of the third world war. When Rêber APO defined the overall situation as world war 3 it is in no way metaphorically or exaggerative, but grounded on a deep analysis of history and geopolitics. On the frontline of this battle Rêber APO’s resistance in Imralî has brought the capitalist system to a point, where its main players fear nothing more than a spoken word of Rêber APO and they seem to know, that his physical liberation will be a major turning point and the manifestation of their ideological defeat.

With this in mind we can discuss the recent situation in southern Kurdistan, in which the enemy once again tries to broaden military operations supported by the KDP regime. Considering that in spite of constant use of chemical and tactical-nuclear weapons and enormous military spending the enemy could not even get close to what he aimed for originally, any further attempt makes the enemy resemble the dying beast trying desperately to pull everything together to rise this one last time. If we just review the last months we witness a succession of military embarrassment on the side of the Turkish army. In the latest stage, we see the enemy defeated in his stronghold, which used to be up in the sky. For years every tactic of the enemy was based on his air-force. Drones, Jets and Helicopters have been the key factor in their style of war. In the end the Guerrilla not only made their effect grow smaller and smaller, but finally found ways of shooting down enemy drones and helicopters over and over again. The actions, which the Guerrilla is conducting with their own air-force completes the embarrassment of the enemy.

3) The main target for Turkish military action right now seems to be the Metîna Region. Already since 2021 Turkish forces have been trying to get a foothold in this region. As we heard you yourself have been to Metîna recently. What can you tell us about the strategical importance of the Region. What can you tell us about the war in Metîna and the resistance of the guerrilla there?

There are many ways to describe the importance of Metîna. geo-strategicaly it is right beneath the Turkish-Iraqi state border making it an important access point between north and south Kurdistan. Demographically it is a Region, where different ethnicity and believes coexist peacefully for thousands of years, where you can find christian churches and mosques side by side.

But in this context I would like to point out, that it needs to be understood, that the war fought in Metîna is in no way limited to the region. This war is the physical clash of two modernities, two antagonistic worldviews, a free life and self governance versus slavery in all its forms. The predetermined breaking point of 5000 years of state, power and violence has been uncovered in Kurdistan and solely in this context we can begin to understand the immense moral and energy that the Guerrilla proves every day, over and over again. Realizing the historical meaningfulness of every deed and every moment is the fundament for this immense will power, that lacks any comparison. It is hard to describe the reality in a place like Metîna, especially to readers from central Europe. It is in those circumstances that one witnesses all of our values being lived and practiced in their purest essence. It is easy to talk about sharing, when the table is full of food. It is easy to talk about friendship, when existential hardships are far away, but it is exactly in those situations of the highest pressure, when diamonds are taking shape, legends are being created, history is written. Intense phases like the last years in Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna have seen endless stories of courage, selflessness and friendship, that make the wildest fiction seem pallid. Even by writing hundreds of books we can’t cover even half of the realities. It is stories like the one of Şehîd Azê Erdal, who was the only one surviving a series of attacks with chemical weapons on the tunnel she fought in. On the outside the tunnel was surrounded by the enemy, inside she was surrounded by the bodies of her friends, that fell Şehîd. In this dire situation, and still able to contact the outside over radio transmitters, she showed not even the slightest sign of despair. On the contrary she motivated her friends outside, told them not to worry and kept fighting on her own and giving reports for over one month. It is stories like this making words like friendship, willpower, sacrifice and militancy winning the deepest of meanings. It is stories of friends like Şehîd Ronî, who in spite of being in other works and two days of marching away from the region, takes the initiative and without further knowledge of the area sneaking through enemy lines and finding his way to the friends at the frontline. From then on leading months of the most intense resistance and falling Şehîd in the same heroic manner that he used to live every day of his life in the revolution. It is stories like this, it is the level under which the leading revolutionary principles are put to concrete action, that form the unbreakable defense against even the most inhuman attacks.

Wherever in the world we are struggling and under which ever circumstances, we have to understand the imperative of those acts and as their friends we need to try ever harder to live up to the standards, that our friends have set.

The war fought in Metîna is in no way limited to the region. This war is the physical clash of two modernities, two antagonistic world-views, a free life and self governance versus slavery in all its forms. The predetermined breaking point of 5000 years of state, power and violence has been uncovered in Kurdistan and solely in this context we can begin to understand the immense moral and energy that the Guerrilla proves every day, over and over again.

4) Until now the Turkish invasion has gained little to no international attention. What do you think the solidarity Movement with the Revolution in Kurdistan and also progressive people in general need to do in this situation?

Concerning solidarity movements and other progressives I believe that it is crucial to understand the gravity and historic importance of the situation and to realize that this is neither a regional, nor a national conflict, it is determining the future of life in the broadest sense imaginable. On this basis there are endless forms of action to be taken, endless ways of engaging, endless weak spots to attack. None of us can afford to underestimate one’s responsibility and the effect of every deed that in sum will decide if we fulfilled our historic role or become guilty of treason of the human history. Especially I want to share how much every form of action taken in other parts of the world is a huge source of moral for our friends on the frontline. Whenever there is a chance to follow the news the friends wonder if other parts of the world rise up and take action and even seeing a simple protest march has a motivating effect. But especially in the centers of the capitalist modernity there a numerous targets, calling for action. Under no circumstances can we allow white torture or the use of chemical weapons become anything close to ordinary. Most of you remember the pictures of the friends falling Şehîd under the influence of chemical weapons which the friends shared to the public. I remember that right after those shocking images a friend next to me said, that the people in Europe will not leave this approach to raise awareness without reply. Unfortunately the reply lacked in many ways. Only if we really become one, take our responsibility towards the friends on the front seriously, we can live a revolutionary life.


This war is the physical clash of two modernities, two antagonistic worldviews

Interview with Sîpan Nûjiyan, International HPG Fighter

A large scale operations of the Turkish Army in Southern Kurdistan, particularly focused on the Metina region, which has been heavily contested since 2022 is the scene of intense fighting between the Turkish invading Army and the guerrilla forces of the People’s Defense Forces and the Free Women’s Units, the YJA Star and HPG. Despite years of Turkish military operations and continuous bombardment, there are still areas in Metîna where the guerrillas, primarily from war tunnels, have maintained their positions and continue to resist the Turkish state’s advance. We spoke to a International Guerrilla about the current situation and the meaning and implications of the war in Kurdistan.

1) Can you Introduce yourself?

My name is Sîpan Nûjiyan. My roots are in west Europe. In the year 2019 I joined the Kurdish liberation movement. Since then I have spent most of the time in the Mountains of Kurdistan as a part of the peoples defence forces HPG.

2) In recent months the Turkish state has deployed thousands of soldiers, armored vehicles and heavy material into Southern Kurdistan, respectively the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. How is the situation right now in Southern Kurdistan? What can you tell us about the latest developments?

To understand the recent Situation, it is at least necessary to understand the style of war that is fought in the last nine years. Until 2015 there has been a process of negotiations between Rêber APO and the Turkish state, that gave at least little hope for political solutions of the Kurdish question. This process found an abrupt ending from the Turkish side and what followed was the attempt to wage all out war with the one goal to drown the Kurdish question in blood. This war has reached a tipping point and has be come a matter of to be or not to be. The Turkish state has put everything they had on one card. Whatever the human, financial and political cost may be, any liberation aspirations of the Kurdish people were to be eliminated. As much as I named the Turkish state, it is important to understand that the Turkish state is not an autonomous subject, much more, as a NATO member, it is guided by the interests of the hegemonic forces of capitalist modernity.

Furthermore we need to understand, that the situation in the region and the developments in other places like Ukraine, Palestine and Karabakh for example are not at all isolated, but all battlegrounds of the third world war. When Rêber APO defined the overall situation as world war 3 it is in no way metaphorically or exaggerative, but grounded on a deep analysis of history and geopolitics. On the frontline of this battle Rêber APO’s resistance in Imralî has brought the capitalist system to a point, where its main players fear nothing more than a spoken word of Rêber APO and they seem to know, that his physical liberation will be a major turning point and the manifestation of their ideological defeat.

With this in mind we can discuss the recent situation in southern Kurdistan, in which the enemy once again tries to broaden military operations supported by the KDP regime. Considering that in spite of constant use of chemical and tactical-nuclear weapons and enormous military spending the enemy could not even get close to what he aimed for originally, any further attempt makes the enemy resemble the dying beast trying desperately to pull everything together to rise this one last time. If we just review the last months we witness a succession of military embarrassment on the side of the Turkish army. In the latest stage, we see the enemy defeated in his stronghold, which used to be up in the sky. For years every tactic of the enemy was based on his air-force. Drones, Jets and Helicopters have been the key factor in their style of war. In the end the Guerrilla not only made their effect grow smaller and smaller, but finally found ways of shooting down enemy drones and helicopters over and over again. The actions, which the Guerrilla is conducting with their own air-force completes the embarrassment of the enemy.

3) The main target for Turkish military action right now seems to be the Metîna Region. Already since 2021 Turkish forces have been trying to get a foothold in this region. As we heard you yourself have been to Metîna recently. What can you tell us about the strategical importance of the Region. What can you tell us about the war in Metîna and the resistance of the guerrilla there?

There are many ways to describe the importance of Metîna. geo-strategicaly it is right beneath the Turkish-Iraqi state border making it an important access point between north and south Kurdistan. Demographically it is a Region, where different ethnicity and believes coexist peacefully for thousands of years, where you can find christian churches and mosques side by side.

But in this context I would like to point out, that it needs to be understood, that the war fought in Metîna is in no way limited to the region. This war is the physical clash of two modernities, two antagonistic worldviews, a free life and self governance versus slavery in all its forms. The predetermined breaking point of 5000 years of state, power and violence has been uncovered in Kurdistan and solely in this context we can begin to understand the immense moral and energy that the Guerrilla proves every day, over and over again. Realizing the historical meaningfulness of every deed and every moment is the fundament for this immense will power, that lacks any comparison. It is hard to describe the reality in a place like Metîna, especially to readers from central Europe. It is in those circumstances that one witnesses all of our values being lived and practiced in their purest essence. It is easy to talk about sharing, when the table is full of food. It is easy to talk about friendship, when existential hardships are far away, but it is exactly in those situations of the highest pressure, when diamonds are taking shape, legends are being created, history is written. Intense phases like the last years in Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna have seen endless stories of courage, selflessness and friendship, that make the wildest fiction seem pallid. Even by writing hundreds of books we can’t cover even half of the realities. It is stories like the one of Şehîd Azê Erdal, who was the only one surviving a series of attacks with chemical weapons on the tunnel she fought in. On the outside the tunnel was surrounded by the enemy, inside she was surrounded by the bodies of her friends, that fell Şehîd. In this dire situation, and still able to contact the outside over radio transmitters, she showed not even the slightest sign of despair. On the contrary she motivated her friends outside, told them not to worry and kept fighting on her own and giving reports for over one month. It is stories like this making words like friendship, willpower, sacrifice and militancy winning the deepest of meanings. It is stories of friends like Şehîd Ronî, who in spite of being in other works and two days of marching away from the region, takes the initiative and without further knowledge of the area sneaking through enemy lines and finding his way to the friends at the frontline. From then on leading months of the most intense resistance and falling Şehîd in the same heroic manner that he used to live every day of his life in the revolution. It is stories like this, it is the level under which the leading revolutionary principles are put to concrete action, that form the unbreakable defense against even the most inhuman attacks.

Wherever in the world we are struggling and under which ever circumstances, we have to understand the imperative of those acts and as their friends we need to try ever harder to live up to the standards, that our friends have set.

4) Until now the Turkish invasion has gained little to no international attention. What do you think the solidarity Movement with the Revolution in Kurdistan and also progressive people in general need to do in this situation?

Concerning solidarity movements and other progressives I believe that it is crucial to understand the gravity and historic importance of the situation and to realize that this is neither a regional, nor a national conflict, it is determining the future of life in the broadest sense imaginable. On this basis there are endless forms of action to be taken, endless ways of engaging, endless weak spots to attack. None of us can afford to underestimate one’s responsibility and the effect of every deed that in sum will decide if we fulfilled our historic role or become guilty of treason of the human history. Especially I want to share how much every form of action taken in other parts of the world is a huge source of moral for our friends on the frontline. Whenever there is a chance to follow the news the friends wonder if other parts of the world rise up and take action and even seeing a simple protest march has a motivating effect. But especially in the centers of the capitalist modernity there a numerous targets, calling for action. Under no circumstances can we allow white torture or the use of chemical weapons become anything close to ordinary. Most of you remember the pictures of the friends falling Şehîd under the influence of chemical weapons which the friends shared to the public. I remember that right after those shocking images a friend next to me said, that the people in Europe will not leave this approach to raise awareness without reply. Unfortunately the reply lacked in many ways. Only if we really become one, take our responsibility towards the friends on the front seriously, we can live a revolutionary life.
