Kurdish media report start of Turkish offensive in northern Iraq

Kurdish media have been reporting the start of a new Turkish offensive in the mountainous regions of southern Kurdistan/northern Iraq since this morning.

According to the report, heavy fighting is currently taking place in the Metina region. Further details such as the extent or nature of the attacks are not yet known. A statement from the Kurdish People's Defense Forces (HPG) is expected later today.
Turkey has not yet made a statement.

A new Turkish operation in northern Iraq has been expected for weeks. In addition to the fight against the Kurdish freedom movement, observers say it is also about economic interests. The Turkish government has recently held intensive talks with the Iraqi government with the declared aim of opening up new trade routes through northern Iraq.

A visit by Erdogan has been announced for tomorrow, first to Baghdad and then to Erbil in northern Iraq.

KCDK-E is calling for protests against the Turkish invasion of Metina

Yesterday morning, the Kurdish guerrillas (HPG) announced that the Turkish military has launched a new offensive in northern Iraq. In a press release, the HPG explained that the villages in the Metîna region have been continuously bombed since April 16. This is an attempt to occupy the Medya defense Zones (mountains of Southern Kurdistan/Northern Iraq) step by step.

The Congress of the Democratic Kurdish Society in Europe (KCDK-E) is now calling for protests against the Turkish invasion of Metina "to strengthen resistance against the policies of aggression, massacres and occupation practiced by the Turkish state in order to protect the future"

The Turkish AKP-MHP regime has shortly after the municipal elections in Turkey announced to launch further military operations in Southern Kurdistan/Northern Iraq and is also threatening Rojava/Northeastern Syria with a ground invasion.
Northeast Syria: Demonstrations in support of the Guerilla

In order to condemn and protest the Turkish offensive in the Medya Defence Zones, esp. in Metîna, Southern Kurdistan people spread to the streets in many cities of Rojava and Northeast Syria:

📍Demonstrations in Qamishli, Tepqa, Reqqa and other cities

📍Zenobia (Association for Syrian Women) gathered in Minbij, Tabqa, Raqqa and Deir El Zor & condemned the attacks of the Turkish state on the guerrilla in Metîna.

📍33 Parties, Organizations and Political Movements in a joint statement condemned the attacks of the Turkish occupation and stated that the Turkish state is the main and fundamental cause of instability in the region. In the statement, the government of Iraq and South Kurdistan was called to reject this difficult war.

Another example of self-selling by PDK

On the day Turkey began its invasion against Metîna, Turkish flags were hung in Erbil to mark Erdoğan's visit.

Erdoğan will visit Iraq today, and then is expected to go to Erbil. The KDP decorated the streets of Erbil with Turkish flags out of love for Erdoğan.

The president of the Turkish occupying state, Recep Tayyib Erdoğan, is visiting Iraq today, but instead of Iraq, the PDK is excited. The KDP hung the flags of the Turkish occupying state on the main streets of Erbil to welcome the fascist leader who opposes the Kurdish people, Erdoğan.

The KDP hung the flags of the fascist state of Turkey on most of Erbil's main roads, bridges, skyscrapers and roads.

The display of Turkish flags in Erbil was met with protests.

Belgian police raid Kurdish television studios

Tonight at around 02:00 Belgian police broke into the studios of the Kurdish television stations Medya Haber and Sterk Tv in Denderleeuw. Without prior notice, hundreds of police stormed the studios of Sterk TV and Medya Haber, breaking down doors and ransacking the building. Sterk TV reported that cables were cut and equipment damaged, leading to a blockade of television broadcasting.

At a time when Turkey is launching military offensives in South Kurdistan, killing Kurdish civilians in Rojava with drones and announcing the invasion of Shengal, the actions of the Belgian state are complicit in these crimes.

Sterk TV spokesperson: "This attack is a part of the genocidal concept of the Turkish occupation" & "With this attack they want to silence the voice of the Kurdish people"

Banner in solidarity with Kurdish guerrillas displayed during football match in Italy

A banner reading "Biji Guerila" (Long Live the Guerrilla) was displayed during a football match of Hic Sunt Leones team in Bologna.

The day chosen by the activists was not random as the liberation of the city from Nazism is celebrated on 21 April. The sports center is in fact named after Mauro Pizzoli, nom de guerre "Pzulein", a partisan barbarously killed by the Nazis on 29 October 1944 at the age of 20. The day was also characterized by the cowardly attack of Turkish fascist forces in the Metina region with air forces and artillery.

From the activists statement:
"Times change but ideals don't. Just as fascism doesn't change. They wear different names and clothes but retain the same ideas of murder and destruction as always. 'Biji Gerila' is, therefore, not just a banner but a message of full sharing and absolute closeness to the Kurdish partisans."

At the same time as the raid on the Kurdish TV station in Belgium, 9 journalists were also arrested in Istanbul, Urfa and Ankara.

April 25: Memorial Day for the Fallen of North and East Syria

Since 2021, April 25 has been considered "Memorial Day for the Fallen of North and East Syria".

The date marks a profound turning point in the Rojava Revolution, as it was on this day in 2017 that Turkey bombed the headquarters of the YPG and YPJ on Mount Qereçox.

To date, North and East Syria has recorded more than 11,000 casualties in the fight against terror and occupation. In addition, there are well over 20,000 war wounded.

Support the "Gas Masks for the Guerrilla" campaign

Since April 16, the Turkish army has been making a new attempt to occupy the mountainous regions of southern Kurdistan. An intensive invasion attack on Metina is underway. Combat helicopters, jets and howitzers are massively bombarding the region. In the past Turkish forces have systematically been using chemical weapons against the Guerrilla. That's why we now again call on all progressive and revolutionary forces to participate in the campaign "Gas masks for the guerrillas"!

Long live the revolutionary internationalism!
Smash Turkish fascism!

UPDATE on invasion in Metîna

Since April 21st a large scale invasion is underway in the Metîna region in Southern Kurdistan. Initial fighting on the ground followed a days long bombing campaign. Now after the Turkish invaders have made some minor gains, they are again relying mostly on air raids and artillery shelling while fighting on the ground has decreased.

HPG-Guerrilla: "We have shared initial information about the Turkish occupation army's attack in the Metina region. In the current situation, the Turkish occupation army has established itself in some places in the areas of Şelaz, Kanîreş and Yekmal in the Metina region and has come to a standstill there. It relies on war technology and rains bombs on the battlefield. PDK forces have also taken 3 points to secure the road between Yekmal and Girê Amediyê. The forces of the Turkish occupation state pass these three roads."
