🔴 Update War in South Kurdistan 15.07.24
Yesterday and last night, the bombardments by the Turkish army continued. Especially the villages in the Metina region and around the city of Amediye are affected by heavy bombardments.
During the night, large-scale troop and material relocations were again registered in the city. It is currently unclear where the troops have been moved to.
In conversations, local residents are now comparing Turkey's invasion to Saddam Hussein's Anfal operation, in which tens of thousands of Kurds were killed and displaced in the 1980s.
There is hardly any international protest against the invasion. However, individual Iraqi politicians and political groups are now openly opposing the invasion and demanding the withdrawal of Turkish troops.

🔴 Turkey’s escalation in Northern Iraq: Cross-border operation or occupation?
Without any public attention Southern Kurdistan/Northern Iraq has turned into an allout warzone with Turkey deploying thousands of troops, armoured vehicles and heavy equipment into the region.
Between the Turkish ruling party AKP-MHP and its goal of occupying further parts of Kurdistan and expanding Turkey's territories into Syria and Iraq, there are the guerrillas of the Kurdish freedom movements, who vehemently resist these plans.
The Turkish invasion into Southern Kurdistan/Northern Iraq needs to be made public, denounced and protested!

🚩 Today we celebrate the beginning of the 13th year of the Rojava Revolution!
The Rojava Revolution was built on the blood of thousands of martyrs, incessant work of popular organization and a lot of effort to overcome limitations caused by embargoes and attacks by the fascist Turkish State.
Even with all these difficulties, the Revolution continues to build a democratic future based on Abdullah Öcalan's philosophy! The Rojava Revolution is an example of a democratic, ecological society and, first of all, the liberation of women!
Bijî Şoreşa Rojava!

How the development of the guerrillas is changing the war
Despite limited resources, the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrillas have embraced technological advancements to enhance their capabilities, especially in air defense and drone warfare.
NATO's support has bolstered the Turkish state's technological arsenal, but the guerrillas' innovative use of technology has created an equalizing effect on the battlefield. Recent guerrilla air strikes have shocked the Turkish army, demonstrating the succesfull renewal inside the guerrilla. The Kurdish freedom guerrillas' ability to adapt and innovate has led to significant victories, putting the Turkish occupation forces in a tactical bind.
Explore how these developments are changing the balance on the battlefield and how the guerrilla in Southern Kurdistan is resisting against NATO’s second largest army.

PKK Guerrillas' defence of Iraq and Southern Kurdistan
Ten years ago today the genocide of the Yezidi people in Şengal began:
On August 3, 2014, ISIS invaded the traditional settlement areas of the Yezidis in Şengal & began a massacre of the local population. Prior to this, the KDP forces had fled the region from the advancing Islamists after disarming the Yezidis, leaving them defenceless against the terrorist militia. 200,000 Yezidis fled from the Islamic State, about a quarter went to the Sinjar Mountains to find refuge there.
Only the intervention of the PKK, which came from the mountains to Şengal, and the YPG and YPJ, which created an escape corridor to Syria, enabled tens of thousands of trapped Yezidis to flee from Şengal.
The PKK guerrillas' intervention protected Shengal, Kirkuk & other parts of Iraq & South Kurdistan from ISIS. Today, the guerrillas are under attack from those who allowed the massacre back then

🔴 10 Years ago the Êzîdî Genocide 🔴
Today, 3 August, we commemorate the Şengal massacre. The invasion and atrocities of that day marked the beginning of a brutal genocidal campaign by the "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" against the indigenous Êzîdî population in the territory of today's northern Iraq.

Due recent developments we already have been reporting more frequently on the Guerrillas' resistance in the Mountains. But we have also not forgotten about your other proposals!
In the meantime we conducted numerous interviews with Activists from the Revolutionary Youth Movement, the Self-Defence Forces & many others. Around the question of how the Strategy of "Revolutionary People's War" is to be understood, what it means in military & societal aspects & its implications for Socialists worldwide, we delved deep into discussion with those that are directly involved in the Revolution and took part in the historical resistances. The results will be published as a in-depth brochure. Until we finish the translations from Kurdish and the redacting part, we are already looking for Translators, Graphic Designers and Social Media Content Creators that are interested in joining this project!
If you want to be involved in the process or are interested in working with us on other topics contact @RojavaResistance
