⚡️ Breaking: Turkish Ministry of Interior puts 3 Kurdish municipalities under forced administration
This morning, the Turkish Ministry of Interior declared the mayors of the municipalities of Elîh (Turkish: Batman), Merdin and Xelfeti removed from office. All three mayors are members of the Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM). Since the morning, the town halls have been surrounded by police and forced administrators have been appointed.
The Ministry of the Interior announced that the three mayors had been sentenced to prison terms of 10 years, 6 years and 2 years respectively. They are accused of being members of a “terrorist organization” as they had called for protests against the IS attack on the Syrian city of Kobanê 10 years ago.
At this moment, dozens of people are gathering in front of town halls to protest against these coups against elected mayors. In April, the people of Wan successfully resisted the forced administration by the AKP-MHP regime.

⭕️PEACE & WAR IN KURDISTAN⭕️ After 43 months first message from Öcalan
The last two weeks have seen many things change in Kurdistan and Turkey, and are now opening a historic phase for the Kurdistan liberation movement.
After decades of brutal warfare against the Kurdish people, the leader of the MHP (Nationalist Movement Party) Devlet Bahçeli declared that he was ready to receive the leader of the Kurdish people Abdullah Öcalan in the Turkish Parliament if he announced the dissolution of the PKK.
How is all this possible? What developments can we expect over the next few days?

Creating conditions for a solution: A perspective on the current situation, the meeting with Abdullah Öcalan, the action in Ankara and attacks on Rojava
The AKP/MHP regime and its international backers allowed a meeting between Abdullah Öcalan and his nephew, DEM Party politician Ömer Öcalan, after three and a half years of complete isolation. Recent events, including statements from MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli regarding peace talks, should be viewed with caution, as they likely serve both to weaken internal opposition and to project a conciliatory image internationally. When closing reading the words of Bahçeli it gets clear that what the AKP-MHP regime is demanding is not peace, but surrender. Because in the current circumstances what laying down arms essentially means is this.
Abdullah Öcalan himself has stressed that fascism must be met with organized societal resistance.

Protests in Northern Kurdistan continue – Kurdish organizations call for Europe-wide demonstration
Protests continued in several cities in Northern Kurdistan against the Turkish government's coup that deposed the elected co-mayors. A coup that Kurdish organizations see as a sign that the Turkish state has no serious interest in a peace process.
Meanwhile, on November 7, the solidarity network “Freedom for Öcalan – A political solution to the Kurdish question” in Germany, along with other organizations, published a call for a Europe-wide demonstration for the freedom of Öcalan and a peace process.
Their appeal states: "We are convinced that we have the opportunity right now to increase social pressure for a just peace in Kurdistan. [...] That is why we call on [...] to take part in the large demonstration on November 16 in Cologne."
