BREAKING: Urgent Call for Relief
Worst earthquake in Syria in decades. It has hit the already precarious northwest the hardest, as well as the south of Turkey/Northern Kurdistan. Already hundreds dead are counted. Our thoughts are with the victims and rescuers.
Due to high number of victims & damage caused by earthquake that occurred in Northern Kurdistan & north-eastern Syria Kurdish relief organization Red Crescent launched urgent appeal for financial assistance to the earthquake victims

The devastation especially close to the epicentre, the Kurdish region of Maraş (Tr: Kahramanmaras), Semsûr (Tr: Adiyaman) & Hatay province is enormous. According to various sources on the ground close to no aid has reached the Kurdish regions in the Southeast. All of this in the midst of winter with temperatures way below 0 degree during the night. Journalists criticising government reaction to the catastrophe were immediately arrested. In a TV speech Erdogan threatened those who point out the regimes failures.
We cannot consider this catastrophe without its political dimension: Thousands of deaths could have been avoided. The Turkish state and the ruling AKP-MHP regime have embezzled billions that were earmarked for the very emergency that has now occurred, they have allowed the construction industry to build cheap multi-storey buildings in an earthquake risk zone beyond all reason & have collected bribes in the billions. Provinces with Kurdish population majority waiting for days desperately for support.

🏴 YPG/YPJ INT: The 15th of February - black day for freedom and hope
The 15th of February marks a black day for revolutionaries and freedom loving people worldwide. On this day in 1999, people’s leader Abdullah Öcalan was abducted in an international complot and consequentially put in prison in Imrali (Turkey). The life and philosophy of Abdullah Öcalan inspired millions of people to fight for democracy, ecology and women’s liberation.
As Internationalists, we came to join the Rojava Revolution because we found inspiration within the revolution that is based on Öcalans philosophy. As internationalist members of YPG/YPJ, we condemn the international conspiracy. But however they try to attack our longing for freedom, they will never be able to take what we found here: hope.

HOW CORRUPTION AND RACISM AGGRAVATE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE EARTHQUAKE
February 2023
The catastrophe triggered by the earthquake was terrible, but the scale of the damage, the tens of thousands of deaths, personal fates and destroyed livelihoods were largely avoidable:
Understanding and disentangling human and political responsibilities in disasters of the magnitude of the earthquake that struck tens of thousands of people in Turkey/Northern Kurdistan on February 6 is as complex as it is necessary.

Fascist escalation in Turkey
Last night, Grey Wolves and supporters of AKP and MHP attacked an election event of Istanbul Mayor Imamoğlu in Erzurum. Several participants in the event were injured in the attack, including children. The police did not intervene, not even when a mob of fascists later went through the city throwing stones at houses.
At the same time, the Kurdish region of Şirnak reported that the brother of the former democratic mayor of the city of Elkê was shot dead. According to initial reports, everything points to a political assassination.
In recent days, the situation in Turkey has worsened massively, and government representatives are now openly talking about a possible coup in connection with the election.
The opposition is calling on people to be vigilant and not to let attempts to manipulate or obstruct the election pass.

Turkey escalates attacks on Northeastern Syria
Following the re-election of the AKP-MHP regime in Turkey, the Turkish army is escalating attacks on self-ruled areas in northeastern Syria.
According to the Rojava Information Center, there has been a massive increase in drone attacks artillery fire in the past days:
15 people were killed in the drone attacks, including 8 Syrian soldiers, 6 SDF fighters, & 1 civilian.
In addition, several civilians were injured, including 2 children, & massive damage was caused to villages & agricultural land in the attacks, which were mainly concentrated in the eastern areas of AANES.
Even an Hospital was shelled in Tel-Rifaat town, Şehba canton in northern Aleppo. While the shelling caused only material damage, the attack on a hospital is widely considered a war crime.
There also continues to be increased activity by Turkish aircraft & drones in the region.
Various sources assume that the attacks are part of an broader air operation, so further attacks can be assumed.
