The jailed leader of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) Abdullah Ocalan has called on his Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) to lay down its arms and dissolve itself, a move that could end its 40-year conflict with Turkiye and have a wider impact on the region.[...]
This makes the DEM party “more significant in Turkish politics,” [an Al Jazeera correspondent] said.
According to her, Ocalan mentioned that when he established the PKK, “things were different and the Turkish state back then didn’t respect the Kurdish rights, but now, things have changed”.
In his letter, Ocalan explained his decision by saying that the PKK had been formed during a period where the Turkish state restricted Kurdish rights, but that Kurdish identity was no longer denied in Turkiye, and there had been “improvements in freedom of expression”.[...]
“Respect for identities, free self-expression, democratic self-organisation of each segment of society based on their own socio-economic and political structures, are only possible through the existence of a democratic society and political space,” Ocalan said in his letter.
The PKK launched its fight against the Turkish state in 1984. Its aim was an independent homeland for Kurds in southeastern Turkiye, but has since officially moved away from separatist goals, instead calling for more autonomy. However, it did not renounce armed violence, and groups affiliated with the PKK have continued to carry out sporadic attacks in Turkiye.[...]
The appeal from Ocalan could have implications for the major oil-exporting region of northern Iraq, where the PKK is based, and for neighbouring Syria[...]
The president of the Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq, Nechirvan Barzani, welcomed Ocalan’s message.[...]
Ocalan’s momentous announcement is part of a new effort for peace between the group and the Turkish state, which was initiated in October by President Erdogan’s coalition partner, [MHP Chairman] Devlet Bahceli. The nationalist politician suggested that Ocalan could be granted parole if his group renounces violence and disbands.[...]
The DEM party has had to change its name after it was repeatedly banned. Opponents say the party supports ‘PKK terrorism’, but DEM says it is calling for greater democracy in Turkiye, and say the shutdown of DEM’s predecessors and the imprisonment of Demirtas is evidence of a crackdown against Turkiye’s pro-Kurdish movement.

Remember and fight: Memorial demonstration in Berlin for Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg
Palestine solidarity as a trigger for police attacks that left numerous people injured.
By Nick Brauns, junge Welt
“Viva Palestine” could be heard from afar from the kilometer-long demonstration that marched under red flags to the Socialist Cemetery: Israel's war against Gaza was the dominant theme at the traditional memorial demonstration for Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, the co-founders of the Communist Party of Germany who were murdered by right-wing Freikorps soldiers 105 years ago, on Sunday in Berlin.
Solidarity with Palestine was also the trigger for brutal police attacks that left numerous people injured. First, a speaker from a block of mostly Palestinian demonstrators was arrested -- the reason for this was the banned slogan "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," a police spokesman told jW. After the arrest, blocks of the front part of the demonstration turned around and the police were briefly pushed away.
The frightening results of the subsequent use of batons and pepper spray by the helmeted state power: A 65-year-old man, run over by the police, lay unconscious on the ground and bleeding from his mouth and nose. According to demonstration paramedics, 15 other demonstrators also had to be treated in hospital with injuries, some of them serious, such as broken bones. The police, however, spoke of attacks on officers during the demonstration, with 21 police officers injured.
"I'm glad that the other demonstrators immediately showed their solidarity with us. This is where our strength lies,” a Palestinian activist named Walid told jW.
According to the police, among the 16 demonstrators arrested are several musicians from Turkey's Grup Yorum, who are currently on a hunger strike for comrades imprisoned in the Federal Republic of Germany.
According to the organizers, more than 10,000 people took part in the demonstration. In addition to blocks from DKP and SDAJ, MLPD, Trotskyist groups and socialist parties from Turkey and Kurdistan, but also left-wing trade unionists and neighborhood initiatives, what was noticeable was the strong participation of mostly young supporters of Marxist-Leninist organizations, dressed in black and in orderly formations among a sea of ​​red flags. “Road free for the red youth,” “Youth, future, socialism” and “With Rosa and Karl against war and capital” were heard from these blocks.
With the banner "Defend Revolutionary History! Attack German warmongers!” and images of Luxemburg, Liebknecht and Lenin, who died 100 years ago, the “Perspective Communism” movement made it clear that commemoration is not a nostalgic end in itself. This is also how Sevda Karaca, a member of the Labor Party (EMEP) in the Turkish parliament, sees it. “Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht are revered worldwide as champions of socialism,” Karaca told this newspaper at the Socialist Cemetery. "In times when fascist ideas are increasing worldwide, it is particularly important that we reflect on the roots of our resistance."
Even before the demonstration arrived, thousands of people, including the leadership of the Die Linke party, had taken part in a "silent commemoration." The murdered labor leaders were honored at their graves with red carnations and wreaths.
Solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for freedom, the call for peace and the need for socialism also played a central role at the 29th International Rosa Luxemburg Conference. The conference organized by this newspaper took place on Saturday in the Berlin Tempodrom with a new record attendance of 3,700 visitors.

do you mind sharing some resources or giving some info that could help teach about what's going on in Kurdistan?
OF COURSE OMG
kurdistan’s timeline
more in depth history
kurdish genocides
another source to genocides
and again…
kurdish groups (pkk, ypg, ypj) saving us from isis
abdullah öcalan’s take on women’s rights
so, first you have the understand that kurdistan has been colonized by four countries: turkey, iran, iraq, syria. iraq and syria gave the kurds autonomous regions (which is the bare minimum). rojava is the syrian occupied kurdistan and bashur the iraqi occupied kurdistan.
those four countries did (and do) the same disgusting shit israhell has been doing to palestine, since 1923: prohibited the language, the national colors (turkey has prohibited new adidas shoes a few days bc they have red, green and yellow😭), raped women and kids, use illegal chemical weapons (the last time? two years ago), deporte them, genocides, even cutting off olive tress of kurds and so on.
iran hates the kurds with a burning passion, especially bc jin, jiyan, azadi was started by the kurdish freedom movement (pkk) centuries ago.
the most hate tolds the turkish regime. turkey’s crimes against kurds are ENDLESS. the worst being the dersim massacre. turkey also collaborated with ISIS to kill kurds in rojava. at the beginning of last october erdogan started to bomb rojava again!, citizens and even mosques. if you want all the crimes turkey has done to kurde you should ask for an extra ask cause turkey is the absolute worst.

Mexmûr (Makhmour) located in the triangle between Mosul, Kerkûk and Hewler in Northern Iraq/South Kurdistan, is a place where over 10.000 Kurds from Southeastern Turkey/North Kurdistan, especially from the Botan Region, found refuge. The people, who fled the war of the Turkish state in the early 90s, stayed in different camps temporarily before reaching Mexmûr Camp 20 years ago, which is supposed to be formally protected by the United Nations and the Iraqi Government. 20 years ago, this place was nothing more than a piece of desert, without trees, plants or access to clean water. Almost everyone at the camp claims that in the beginning, there was nothing but scorpions and snakes in the desert and that many people, among them children, had died from the living conditions. Although the camp is supposed to enjoy protection from national and international institutions, when it comes to the building of the foundations for living, it is the people of Mexmûr themselves whose spirit, confidence and power built all the houses, schools, academies, cooperatives, hospitals and institutions for the people. Many of those, who came here as children back then, are now the workers, mothers, teachers and thinkers holding society and life together. As a group of activists from Europe, we visited the camp in the summer of 2018.
Rarely one can see a place where the reality of the Kurdish people is reflected as well as in Mexmûr. The camp tells the story of war and resistance in Northern Kurdistan on one side, and the struggles and rebellions of South Kurdistan and West Kurdistan (Rojava) in the past few years on the other side. The people of Mexmûr have seen war and oppression caused by the Turkish state, as well as having been active part of the resistance of the Kurdish people against it in the 90s. While their villages were destroyed by the state, because they refused to collaborate with the state against the guerrillas, the people of Botan led popular people’s uprisings (serhildan). They have experienced attacks by ISIS/Daesh in 2014 and responded with the legacy of organized physical and mental self-defence of the peoples and the Kurdish freedom movement all over Kurdistan. Now, their social, political and economic structure represents an answer and a solution for the crises caused by colonialism, capitalism, nationalism and patriarchy. As one woman from the women’s assembly put it: “This camp exists because the people here reject the capitalist and nation-state system. This is the reason why we were expelled from our homes. And that’s why nobody here decides against our system and decides to leave the camp, because they already have decided against the capitalist system 25 years ago.��
The systems that oppressed the Kurds in all parts of Kurdistan for many decades amongst other things rely on the idea of dependency of people on a higher instance, a state. The only possible radical response against this is a system which is detached from any state presence or intervention, a system which is for the most part self-governed by the people and where all pillars of life are built up and shaped by society itself. And to fight against a system, which oppresses young people and women in particular, it is also essential that the youth and women fight and take part in the very heart of the resistance. This reality became clear to us as soon as we arrived in the camp.
Just some footsteps away from the place we stayed in was the youth center. On our first evening we were invited there to a culture and poetry event organized by the youth of Mexmûr. People at the camp repeatedly emphasized that the youth, especially young women, were incredibly creative, active and talented in the realm of literature, arts, music and other handicrafts, despite having limited opportunities. Every artistic and creative space was filled by the energy and spirit of the youth. We felt this when we visited an art studio, which was full of paintings by the young people of Mexmûr, expressing the reality of war, rebellion, nature and women in Kurdistan. The same energy was felt when young women showed us their handmade scarves and bracelets. When we invited them to come over in the evening, they brought dozens of friends just within a few hours, dancing, playing their instruments and singing songs of resistance with us. When experiencing all of this, the role of the youth and young women as part of a transformative, revolutionary process became so much more evident. At the same time, one also realizes what it means for young people to grow up in the reality of capitalism, which, while pretending to be the center of individual liberty, leaves no space for young people to freely develop to their full potential in an environment based on isolation, damaging dependency, pressure and violence. If anything, the current system does the very opposite, it exploits all kinds of creative energy and action, which could eventually turn into rebellion and could potentially tear down the mask of capitalism. It makes us lose a huge part of our ability to transform ourselves and society, a huge part of our ability to even believe that another life is possible and that we all could be the makers of a revolution.
Another driving force of change is the women’s movement. Every woman in the camp is connected to the women’s assembly, which is named after the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar and was founded in 2003. From what they told us about the history of the camp, one could see that women have built the base for many of the achievements of Mexmûr over the last 20 years. Besides their experience in fighting against sexist traditions and false beliefs as well as in resisting the nationalism of the Turkish state, their knowledge and consciousness of their own history is another remarkable part of their resistance. Becoming reconnected with history, especially as women, is one aim of Jineolojî, a radical women’s science that criticizes positivist and rationalist science and instead creates a science that analyzes the hidden history and reality of women and resisting societies. Jineolojî, a combination of the Kurdish term for woman, jin, and the Greek term logos, means ‘women’s science’ and stands at the center of the theoretical and scientific struggle of the Kurdish women’s movement, for instance at the Martyr Jiyan women’s academy in Mexmûr. ‘5000 years ago, women became the first colony. Since then, the reality and identity of women have been buried in darkness. What is this darkness? It is different ideologies, like sexism or religious fundamentalism. What we try to do through Jineolojî is to bring women’s reality to light again’, says one member of the Ishtar women’s assembly. Ishtar women’s assembly does not only work in the sphere of science and education, but also has autonomous committees for health, economy, media/press, self-defence, culture, society and more. With all committees and their own perspectives as women, they permanently keep up with all women in the camp, the communes, the autonomous young women’s assembly and the general people’s assembly of Mexmûr. It is a place where people constantly stay connected, not only to solve and discuss current problems and questions of the communes. The assembly should not be understood as a mere formal venue for social and political organization, but as an organic sociality. After all, all of its members are at the same time family, friends, neighbors and comrades.
In its members’ own words, the Ishtar women’s assembly aims to build an ‘ethical-political society’ based on the liberation of all genders. Also taking into account the ways in which capitalism has tried to turn people into passive, numb objects, building an ethical-political society implies becoming active, political subjects again, to be in motion, to embody the flow of change of an uprising society which breaks the chains of a 5000-year-old oppressive system. This reality could be seen in the work and efforts of the youth, in the women’s assembly and in all institutions.
The teachers working in the academies and schools make their own schoolbooks and even teach subjects like Jineolojî.
The self-governed hospital started as a small tent 20 years ago, and now it provides adequate health care every day for everyone in the camp. In a joint effort, the hospital and the health committees of Mexmûr already started other projects as well, such as a center for autistic children.
The cooperatives, which are at the center of the economic system of the camp, offer their groceries and goods without being orientated on profit, but to cover the needs of the communes only. The economy committee, which states that their aim is to communize the economy, is about to create an economy where nobody is poor or rich, where nobody is exploited and where nature is protected and respected.
The social, educational, political and economic structure in Mexmûr is self-governed by the people. ‘The system we have here is one that includes all people so that nobody is left out. Everyone can take part, from an elderly mother to young people to children. Every group in society can participate in these works’, explains a woman from the economy committee. Despite all difficulties, for example concerning electricity, water, medical resources and more, life in Mexmûr keeps flourishing. It roots in the lands where goddesses like Ishtar were once worshipped, and now it keeps growing with the experiences of people who have witnessed the uprising in Kurdistan in the 90s and the historical resistance – especially of women ��� against fascism, nationalism and patriarchy in the last decades.
If there is one thing that revolutionary socialist, feminist or anarchist movements could learn from Mexmûr, I believe it is the idea that one cannot change the world without revolutionizing the relationship between oneself and society, which means becoming an active part of the social dynamics, not in order to reach ‘the aim’, but as a basic, ongoing attitude and resistance against the isolation imposed on us by capitalism. Another woman from Ishtar women’s assembly said that all the sexist and capitalist mentalities we carry inside of us must be ‘vomited out’ in order to make room for something new. Only by filling this new room with an organized struggle, a free life, free communes, a blooming earth and the revolutionary love and arts we wish for will be made possible.

With Respect and Longing to the Leaders and Pioneering Communist Women of our Women's Freedom Struggle
Women of the Communist and Maoist movement in Turkey
From the Maoist Komünist Parti
Tumblr media
Let's Increase the Fight Against Attacks on Women Revolutionaries
While women and oppressed sexual identities in Turkey and Northern Kurdistan continue their activities for both March 8 and local elections without slowing down, the detention, arrest, sexual harassment and torture attacks of the AKP-MHP fascist misogynistic alliance against women revolutionaries and politicians are increasing. Revolutionary activity is wanted to be prevented. The conclusion we can draw from the enemy becoming so aggressive should be, on the one hand, the fact that we are on the right track, and, on the other hand, to increase the efforts to thwart these attacks. Because this is what the women who are murdered, who are subjected to violence, harassment and rape every day, the working women who are subjected to all kinds of labor exploitation, and the oppressed sexual identities whose very existence is denied, expect from us. The fact that at least 3 women are murdered every day is now expressed in larger numbers. 8 women are murdered in one day!
While the fascist AKP-MHP Alliance is trying to destroy women revolutionaries with the help of the state, it is making the entire female masses do this through the hands of "the men closest to them". Violence, sexual assaults and murders against women and oppressed sexual identities receive legal protection in male state courts. Women who practice self-defense are given heavy penalties. With its "sacred family" policies, it aims to dissolve and imprison women and oppressed sexual identities within that family.
The united struggle of women is to combine the struggle for women whose closest relatives are murdered by men every day, and the struggle against male state attacks on patriotic, revolutionary socialist communist women who struggle in the mountains, in prisons, and in all areas of life. Our enemy is common, so our struggle must also be common.
Finally, as we commemorate our immortalized female comrades once again, let's make the upcoming March 8th a strong point where we will raise our united women's struggle and hold ourselves accountable against the male state that tries to turn our lives into hell.
This is our promise to our female comrades who have become immortal. We will win! Grow the rebellion against male domination and fascism! March to the women's revolution! Long live the united struggle of women!

Kurdish political prisoner in Iran calls for resistance on International Women’s Day
Kurdish political prisoner Zeinab Jalalian marks International Women's Day with a powerful message from Yazd prison in Iran. In her letter, Jalalian celebrates the courage of women around the world, particularly those in Rojhilat and wider Iran, who resist oppression and fight for freedom.
Zeinab Jalalian, a Kurdish political prisoner in Iran for the past 17 years and under imminent threat of execution, has written a poignant letter from Yazd prison celebrating the resilience and resistance of women worldwide, with particular reference to the struggles and sacrifices of women in Rojhilat (Iranian Kurdistan) and wider Iran.
Her letter, published on the eve of International Women’s Day on 8 March, underlined the wider struggle against injustice and the ongoing quest for freedom and equality.
Jalalian’s message is not just a commemoration but a call to action, highlighting the significance of 8 March in the wake of the ‘Jin Jiyan Azadî’ (Woman, Life, Freedom) movement, which has faced a severe backlash, including brutal attacks and arrests aimed at suppressing the women’s resistance movement. This movement, in Jalaliyan’s view, is a symbol of resilience against the regressive forces and ideologies of groups such as the Islamic State (ISIS), with the support of international powers.
Furthermore, Jalalian extended her message to the plight of Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Öcalan, the founder of the slogan and idea of ‘Jin Jiyan Azadî’, who has been imprisoned for 25 years in Turkey’s İmralı Island Prison as a result of what she describes as an international conspiracy. She called for support for Öcalan, framing his freedom as an integral part of the wider struggle for liberation and justice in which she and others are engaged.
In her letter, Jalalian highlighted the interconnectedness of struggles across borders and the vital role of international solidarity in confronting injustice and standing up for the rights of the oppressed.

Veysel Ok, a lawyer for three Kurdish journalists, told BIRN that they were being tried solely for reporting on human rights violations in eastern Turkey, which is mainly populated by Kurds.
“There is a tremendous increase in human rights violations in Turkey, particularly in eastern and southeastern cities, where the Kurds live predominantly,” Ok said. and added: “Thanks to these journalists’ reports, both Turkey and the world know about those violations.”
Ok, who also co-chairs the Media and Law Studies Association, MLSA, was referring to three Kurdish journalists tried this week or who will be tried next week.
Mesopotamia News Agency editor Abdurrahman Gok was released after 225 days in prison on December 5. He was in pre-trial detention for alleged membership of a terrorist organisation and terrorist propaganda.
“After I took a photo of Kemal Kurkut being shot, the systematic repression has continued until today. Detentions, house raids… The main motivation of the court is that I took those photographs to negate the statements of the police and the governor’s office,” Gok said in his defence.
Kurkut was shot dead by a police during a celebration in Diyarbakır in 2017. Gok documented the killing.
A court on December 7 ordered another Kurdish journalist, Dicle Muftuoglu, co-chair of the Dicle First Journalists Association, to remain in prison.
The prosecution seeks a 37.5-year prison sentence for Muftuoglu. It claims, based on a secret witness, that Muftuoglu was in charge of the Mesopotamia News Agency under the KCK’s Press Committee which it called a structure of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, PKK.
Sedat Yilmaz, Mesopotamia News Agency editor, will go before the court on December 14, charged with “founding and administering a terrorist organisation” and “membership of a terrorist organisation”. The prosecution seeks a 37.5-year prison sentence for him as well.
“These court trials have no legal basis. They are clearly political cases,” Ok told BIRN.
Ok added that growing pressure on Kurdish journalists reflects the Turkish government’s policies towards Kurds in general.
“Since 2014, there has been serious disagreement and conflict between the Kurdish political movement and the state. Consequently, NGOs, unions and media houses run by Kurds were targeted and pressured,” Ok said.
“This is the case for these three journalists. Kurdish journalists do the most dangerous journalism in Turkey, without having international solidarity,” Ok added.
Media organisations and rights groups say that Turkey under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has become one of the world’s worst jailers of journalists, also exerting pressure on the media through court cases, fines and prison sentences.
Turkey ranked 165th out of 180 countries in 2023 in the latest press freedom index issued by the watchdog organisation Reporters Without Borders, RSF.

Captive Comrade D. Chatzivasileiadis: 31/7/16 Attack on the Mexican Embassy – 1/8/23 Lorenzo Cruz Ríos, the Fight for Land and Freedom Continues
Tumblr media
On the 31st of July 2016, the Organization Revolutionary Self-Defence used weapons to attack the Mexican embassy in Athens, shooting rounds at the embassy building. This second political intervention of Org. Revolutionary Self-Defence revealed that the first intervention two years ago, against the law for type C prisons and the war against the proletariat and migration was not an occasional act, even though it was an emergency response to the need to resist an antirevolutionary measure, but a practical statement of commitment to a strategy of revolutionary fight. Revolutionary internationalism remains a need from the future world that we have to take care of through acts. Seven years after the immediate response of Org. Revolutionary Self-Defence against the Μexican state, my thoughts are with Lorenzo Froylán de la Cruz Ríos, member of the native Communal Guard self-defense team of Santa María Ostula in Michoacán, who disappeared on the 1st of August and was found murdered ten days later, my thoughts are with the social struggles in the mexican territory, the zapatistas resistance against the “Maya” train and the para-state murders of fighters, the movement against the inter-oceanic corridor[1], the movement against the Nicaragua canal, the indigenous people rebellion in Puno[2] and the fighting Indigenous Association for Development and Conservation of Bajo Puinahua (Aidecobap)[3], the fighting communities of Sucre Colombia[4], the fights for Land and freedom everywhere jointly.
The spark of the revolution does not quiet down, for Froylán de la Cruz Ríos[5], for Manuel ‘Tortuguita’ Esteban Paez Terán (Atlanta forest, USA, Stop Cop City, January 2023), for Paolo Todd – Kawa Ahmed[6] (from the indigenous fight at Standing Rock of N. Dakota to Raqqa Syria, January 2017), for Santiago Maldonado (Argentina, 2017), for Remi Fraisse (forest de Sivens, Testet wetlands, France, October 2014), for mapuche brothers and Matías Catrileo[7] (January 2008), for the martyred people’s armies of Kurdistan, for Vassilis Magos (Volos, 2020), for Maria Koulouri (Lefkimmi Corfu, 2008). For all of us until the end of capitalism.

as an internationalist: i wish people would care about kurdistan the same way they care about palestine.
kurdistan has been at war and fighting for their independence since 1923.
they were met with hundreds of genocides and massacres by turkey, iran, iraq and syria.
kurdish people have been targeted by ultra-nationalist turks since last week in belgium.
kurds fled their country to live in peace but are met with violence abroad as well.
kurds saved us from isis – pkk, ypg/j, peshmerga.
the kurdish freedom movement invented “jin, jiyan, azadi” and now people act like it’s from iran.
if you’re for freedom you should be for kurdistan.
her biji kurd u kurdistan, biji serok apo.
