Eine Delegation der Organisation Ärzte gegen den Atomkrieg (IPPNW) hielt sich im März für zwei Wochen in Ankara und im Südosten der Türkei auf. Im Gepäck hatten die Delegationsteilnehmer bei ihrer Rückkehr jede Menge Informationen und Augenzeugenberichte aus den besetzten Städten - und vor allem scharfe Kritik am Kriegseinsatz der türkischen Streitkräfte gegen die eigene kurdische Zivilbevölkerung.

yrian Kurds agree on their right to declare a federal region, yet some of them believe this could lead to the exploitation of their national cause. In light of most Syrians’ rejection of the just-announced federal solution, a new crisis is about to hit Syria, which is already plagued by other crises.

On March 17, the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) declared the Federal Democratic System of Rojava and Northern Syria, making the announcement at a conference in Rmeilan that included 150 delegates and representatives from 31 Kurdish, Assyrian and Syriac political parties, independent figures and Arab tribes. The federal zone includes Rojava's three cantons — Jazira, Kobani and Afrin — as well as Tell Abyad and other areas Kurdish forces have recaptured.

Kurds vow to prevent Assad regime from holding parliamentary elections in Rojava

Syrian Kurds will not hold Syrian parliament elections in their territory. The Syrian President Bashar al-Assad called for these elections for April 13th on Monday.

“Since the autonomous administration was declared by the Kurds and other minorities, the majority Kurdish areas are out of Assad’s control, and they are administrated by the components of the region,” said Idris Nassan, a former official in the Kobane administration.

Kurds lose faith in leaders as war rages in south

Walking into the historic quarter of Diyarbakir is like entering a military occupation zone. Visitors are greeted by the sight of a rifle barrel jutting from a sandbagged sentry post, which is surrounded by security railings and armoured cars.

Police frisk all those wishing to enter, and all bags and suitcases are inspected. Luggage is carried as vehicles are not permitted inside. A hundred metres in, there is another checkpoint.

This is what four months of insurgency and curfew have brought upon Sur, the "Old City" of Diyarbakir, the principal Kurdish city in Turkey.

Fifty-nine civilians were killed as Turkish forces fought house-to-house battles against an estimated 150 fighters from the Kurdish Worker's Party (PKK), according to the crisis centre of the pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP).

...Böhmermann hatte die Dünnhäutigkeit des türkischen Staatspräsidenten Erdogan aufgegriffen, der die Zensur eines Satire-Videos verlangt hatte, das ihm Zensur nachsagte. Der TV-Entertainer referierte daraufhin über den Unterschied zwischen Satire und Schmähkritik und illustrierte letzteres mit einem Gedicht, mit dem er sich intendiert tief unter die Gürtellinie und weit hinter sämtliche roten Linien begab. Dabei wies er mehrfach sarkastisch darauf hin, dass man dies nicht machen dürfte.

Sackdoof, feige und verklemmt,

Sein Gelöt stinkt schlimm nach Döner,
selbst ein Schweinepfurz riecht schöner.

Er ist der Mann der Mädchen schlägt,
und dabei Gummimasken trägt.

Am liebsten mag er Ziegen ficken,
und Minderheiten unterdrücken,

Kurden treten, Christen hauen,
und dabei Kinderpornos schauen.

Und selbst Abends heißts statt schlafen,
Fellatio mit hundert Schafen.

Ja, Erdogan ist voll und ganz,
ein Präsident mit kleinem Schwanz.

Jeden Türken hört man flöten,
die dumme Sau hat Schrumpelklöten,

Von Ankara bis Istanbul,
weis jeder, dieser Mann ist schwul.

Pervers, verlaust und zoophil,
Recep Fritzl Priklopil.

Sein Kopf so leer, wie seine Eier,
der Star auf jeder Gangbang-Feier.

Bis der Schwanz beim pinkeln brennt,
das ist Recep Erdogan, der türkische Präsident.

Kurdische Behörden im Nordirak inhaftieren Mitarbeiterin von Abgeordnetem

Am 22. März 2016 wurde die deutsche Staatsbürgerin Beriwan Al Zin, Wissenschaftliche Projektmitarbeiterin des Hamburger Bürgerschaftsabgeordneten Martin Dolzer, in der Kurdischen Autonomieregion (KRG) im Nordirak festgenommen. Sie befindet sich seitdem im Frauengefängnis von Erbil. Der Vorwurf lautet auf illegalen Grenzübertritt zwischen der KRG und dem nordsyrischen Rojava.

Nach der Festnahme durch die KRG-Behörden wurde Frau Al-Zin sechs Tage lang verwehrt zu telefonieren. Zudem wurden weder die Deutsche Botschaft in Bagdad noch das Generalkonsulat in Erbil rechtzeitig über die Festnahme der deutschen Staatsbürgerin informiert. Eine solche Praxis verstößt gegen das Wiener Übereinkommen über diplomatische Beziehungen.

Die von Saudi-Arabien unterstützten Terroristen der sogenannten “Armee des Islams” (arab. Ceyş’ül İslam) erklärten öffentlich, geächtete und verbotene Waffen gegen die kurdischen Einwohner*innen im Aleppoer Stadtteil Şêx Meqsûd eingesetzt zu haben.

In der veröffentlichten Erklärung heißt es offiziel: “Ein Battalionskommandeur der Ceyş’ül İslam hat in einzelnen Gefechten international geächtete und verbotenen Waffen eingesetzt”.

Sowohl die YPG (Yekîneyên Parastina Gel – Volksverteidigungseinheiten), als auch lokale Journalist*innen, sowie der Kurdische Rote Halbmond (Heyva Sor a Kurd) bestätigten, dass terroristische Gruppen Giftgas/Chemiewaffen gegen das von Kurd*innen bewohnte Viertel eingesetzt haben.

Erdoğan-backed gangs affiliated to the so-called Syrian National Coalition (SNC) and ENKS have been attacking Aleppo’s Şêx Meqsûd neighborhood non-stop since February 16th.

The ongoing aggression by gang groups has killed 5 more civilians and injured 6 others today.

With the most recent losses, the death toll caused by gang groups for the past 2 days rose to 24. A total of 24 people suffered injuries in the attacks.

Turkey continues to send arms, ammunition and jihadists to ISIS–PART I

ISIS gang Abdurrahim Xalit İbrahim captured by the YPG stated that Turkey continues to send arms, ammunition and jihadists to ISIS mainly through Jarablus and Til Rai. İbrahim noted that the Turkish aid to ISIS decreased because ISIS-Turkey relations got exposed and the border between ISIS and Turkey got shorter.

Captured by the YPG after the ISIS attack on Girê Spî, ISIS gang Abdurrahim Xalit İbrahim code-named Ebu İslam Xerip spoke to ANF. İbrahim was born in Aleppo, joined ISIS two years ago, stated that ISIS viewed Turkey as an ally. İbrahim said that his main duties were to give ideological and political education, recruit new gangs, and organize the gangs that arrived in Syria via Turkey. İbrahim was captured by the YPG in an office building near Siluk after the ISIS attack on Girê Spî.

Regarding the relations between Turkey and ISIS, İbrahim said that the two entities had shared ideologies and goals, and would never fight one another. İbrahim stated that ISIS viewed Turkey as an ally and the two entities collaborated numerous times in the past, so a war between Turkey and ISIS would never break out.

Canadian fighter joining Kurdish female units to combat ISIS northern Syria

Hannah Bohman, 47, is a Canadian volunteer who has joined the ranks of the Kurdish female fighters of the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) over a year ago to fight radical group of the Islamic State (ISIS) in northern Syria. When she initially joined the YPJ, she only got four hours of training. But now, she says, foreign fighters are being trained for at least a month. “Since September, new YPJ members spend around one month at the academy on language, ideology, politics, and history, before joking the battlefronts,” she told ARA News.

Turkey has been making drastic decisions in different towns of the majority Kurdish southeast in the past few weeks. On March 21, Turkey's Justice and Development Party (AKP) government hastily passed legislation referred to as “urgent expropriation of the Sur district” of Diyarbakir province. On March 26, the government's Official Gazette announced all the addresses of the properties to be expropriated.

These decisions have been met with local opposition, which has been silenced swiftly. But the Sur situation generated global reactions because of the town's history — so much so that Galip Ensarioglu, a prominent AKP parliamentarian, told the press that the US Embassy had called him asking about the reports. Ensarioglu said the reports amounted to a smear campaign spreading false information about the confiscation process. Others beg to differ.

Why the PKK is so interested in Mosul

After a weeklong campaign, the Islamic State (IS) captured Mosul on June 10, 2014, with the help of local supporters. That was the beginning of a new phase in the region. After putting Mosul under its absolute control, IS attacked Sinjar where Yazidi Kurds lived. Thousands of Kurds were killed and thousands were taken prisoner. The town fell under IS control. Shocked by this development, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) moved to liberate Sinjar with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) on its side. The PKK, which had shown special attention to Sinjar and the Yazidis for years, finally had the opportunity it was looking for.

War syndrome and Turkish society

An overwhelming majority of Turkish society thinks that its children are ‘fighting for the homeland’ in Kurdistan, just like Americans thought during the Vietnam War. It does not see that they become death machines, and continue to live alongside murderers and rapists.

Directed by Oliver Stone, ‘Born on the Fourth of July’ starring Tom Cruise was released in 1989. The movie got 8 Oscar nominations and won 2 Oscar awards, and won the best film award at the Golden Globes.

Adapted from Ron Kovic’s novel, the movie tells the story of a nationalist American soldier as he participates in the Vietnam War, kills civilians, accidentally shoots a friend, gets injured and confined to a wheelchair, and later understands that the dirty war was waged for the profit of arms dealers as he begins to participate in the anti-war movement.

The main focus of ‘Born on the Fourth of July’ was the war syndrome of hundreds of thousands of soldiers who had participated in ‘the defense of the homeland’ as opposed to the story of one particular soldier. The movie strikingly depicts how the Vietnam Syndrome lasts a lifetime and affects all segments of society, and stirred up debate when it was released.

Syria's Kurds take control of oil fields, now what?

Five years into the Syrian revolution, entire cities have been brought to rubble and a population has been forcibly displaced by the Syrian regime or the forces that controlled the areas deserted by the Syrian regime's army.
All military forces, such as the Islamic State (IS), Jabhat al-Nusra and the opposition Kurdish forces, sought to control the areas rich with underground resources. These resources are concentrated in Deir ez-Zor and the Kurdish areas in the Rojava region, a de facto autonomous region of Syria.

Oil wells are scattered across the Kurdish areas, in particular in Rmeilan. After the outbreak of the Syrian revolution and with the displacement of the area’s residents to neighboring countries such as Iraq and Turkey, the oil wells were almost shut down.

Türkische und kurdische Koalitionen und Machtinteressen bei den Kämpfen um Aleppo

Die Angriffe auf das nordsyrische Selbstverwaltungsgebiet Rojava eskalieren im Schatten des am 27. Februar 2016 vereinbarten Genf-III Waffenstillstands immer weiter. Akteure sind dabei die türkische Armee, die sogenannte "Istanbuler Opposition" (Nationale Koalition, ETILAF) und zu ihr gehörige im Kurdischen Nationalrat (ENKS) organisierte kurdische Kräfte, aber auch salafistische Gruppen wie Ahrar as Sham und die in Genf III nicht inkludierten Jabhat al Nusra.

Die Gefechte im Dreieck Afrin, Kobanî, Aleppo nahmen in den letzten Wochen immer größeren Umfang an. Am 14. April beschoss die türkische Armee das Dorf Hewar in der Nähe der Grenzstadt Azaz, dabei kamen nach Angaben der syrisch-kurdischen Nachrichtenseite Hawarnews 25 Zivilpersonen ums Leben. Insbesondere das nach dem Modell der Demokratischen Autonomie von Rojava selbstverwaltete und den Volks-und Frauenverteidigungskräften YPG/YPJ geschützte Stadtviertel Aleppos, Sheik Mahsud (kurdisch: Şêxmesûd) wurde immer wieder zum Ziel von Angriffen.

"ISIS gangs and Turkish Intelligence collaborate in Hatay"

Hatay Assembly for the Right to Life Against War released its second report entitled "The impact of the Syrian War and Turkey’s Syria policies on Hatay." Assembly representatives held a press conference on the report in Halkevi’s Hatay Branch.

Hatay Assembly for the Right to Life Against War coordinator Ali Ergin shared the details of the report, which has statistical information prepared by official institutions and NGOs. Ergin stated that the repatriation centers in Hatay are being used as temporary residences for ISIS gangs that are preparing for attacks. Ergin recalled that the Commodity Exchange's Boys' Dormitory near the Sabancı Girls' Dormitory in Narlıca neighborhood of Hatay’s Antakya district was closed to students for the 2015-2016 education year with the excuse that the building was ‘frail and unusable.’ Ergin noted that Hatay Governorate authorized Hatay Directorate of Migration Management to use the building as a repatriation center for ‘illegal’ refugees lacking ‘temporary protection ID documents’ who are mostly foreign jihadists. Ergin stated that state officials knew about the organizational connections of these jihadists but sent them to other countries as opposed to launching criminal investigations.

High up in the mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan, small groups of men are readying themselves for the perilous journey across the border into Iran.

Spring has come to the lush valleys and plains at the foot of the mountains, and the snow is melting on the ridges and towering peaks that form an almost impenetrable barrier during winter. The men dispersed in farmhouses and isolated buildings perched on the steep slopes near the border are Peshmerga fighters of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI), an exiled opposition group that is plotting a comeback in the Islamic Republic.

After braving the winter cold, the Peshmerga will soon be dodging army patrols and helicopters as they filter into Iran to grow the party's support base.

"If we are closer to our own, then more people will gather around us and we will be stronger," said Kheder Pakdaman, a seasoned Peshmerga who commands a unit stationed in a base near the Iraqi town of Choman.

Officers of the Iranian regime accepted that 12 thousand Kurds were arrested in the Iranian year that ended on March 19, 2015. The Kurdistan State Director of Prisons confessed that the social fabric of the Kurdish society was being degraded by these arrests.

According to the state-run İsna news agency, Kurdistan State Director of Prisons confirmed the increase in Kurdish prisoners.

Director of Prisons Esadullah Gurjizadeh said, “The statistics show that almost 60% of the imprisoned people are heads of their households, and this is tearing at the fabric of Kurdish society in Iran.”

Kurdish rebels attack Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Sardasht

Under the banner “the Peshmerga of Iranian Kurdistan”, a Kurdish rebel group attacked key positions for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in several villages in the vicinity of the mainly Kurdish city of Sardasht north-west of the country, informed sources reported on Wednesday.

Local Kurdish activists confirmed that the Kurdish Peshmerga in Iran attacked headquarters of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in the villages of Hamran, Myouni, and Sartaja [administratively linked to the township of Sardasht]. This led the Iranian forces to receive additional military reinforcements to the region in a bid to face the unexpected fierce offensive.

State being defeated: Military cemeteries and hospitals full to the brim

As Turkish forces continue to suffer heavy losses in their genocidal attacks, the state can’t hide the fact that hundreds of soldiers and policemen are dead and there is a great number of wounded personnel.

State sources say security personnel casualties have reached 480 since June 7, 2015. The actual number is assumed to be much higher.

The state has also confessed to not having enough space due to the rising casualties. The “Police Martyrs Cemetery” in Ankara’s Cebeci Asri Cemetery has been closed after reaching its limit. A new “Police Martyrs Cemetery” was set up in Karşıyaka Cemetery afterwards. Sources say the burials began a month ago in this new “Police Martyrs Cemetery” at the Gate 3 of the cemetery and 150 bodies were buried up to this day.
