Thinkers, academics, writers, and artists from the United States, India, Chile, Germany, Catalonia, and Scotland call for solidarity against the attacks on Rojava

International personalities call for solidarity with Rojava: Attacks must be stopped immediately

The latest attacks against Rojava and the Kurds indicate that a new international conspiracy is underway. Organizations such as ISIS, al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, and HTS—proxy forces of global capitalism in the Middle East—along with status-quo states, have once again mobilized against the peoples’ struggle for freedom and hope. The on-the-ground organization of the genocidal attack that began after the agreement reached in Paris between the United States, Turkey, Israel, and HTS is being carried out by the Turkish state.

Organizaciones como ISIS, Al Qaeda, Al Nusra y HTS —fuerzas aliadas del capitalismo global en Oriente Medio—, junto con los Estados del statu quo, se han movilizado una vez más contra la lucha de los pueblos por la libertad y la esperanza.

ABD, Hindistan, Şili, Almanya, Katalonya ve İskoçya'dan çok sayıda düşünür, akademisyen, yazar ve sanatçı, Rojava’ya yönelik Türk devleti, DAİŞ ve HTŞ saldırılarına karşı sahip çıkma çağrısında bulundu.

Rojava bizimdir, koruyalım!

Rojava ve Kürtlere dönük son saldırılar, yeni bir uluslararası komplonun devrede olduğunu gösteriyor. Küresel kapitalizmin Ortadoğu’daki vekil güçleri olan DAİŞ, El Kaide, El-Nusra ve HTŞ vb. örgütler ve statükocu devletler, halkların özgürlük mücadelesine ve umuduna karşı yeniden harekete geçti. Paris'te ABD-Türkiye-İsrail-HTŞ arasında yapılan anlaşma sonrası başlayan soykırım saldırısının sahadaki organizasyonunu ise Türk devleti yapıyor.

Political Scientist Dario Azzellini on the Attack on Venezuela

“The US Is a Dying Empire”

In an interview with Mašina, Azzellini explains why he sees this event as a symptom of a “dying empire,” and at the same time as a prelude to a new, dangerous phase of global conflict.
