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.

KCK Call: Protect Rojava for the values of humanity
The Community of Kurdistan Societies has called for the defense of Rojava in the face of widespread attacks by the Turkish state. In last week's attacks, 17 people had been killed by drone strikes, and civilians were among the victims. Two teachers had also been deliberately murdered.
Turkey's government has set itself the task of expanding the occupation policy that it is already implementing in large parts of northern Syria, for example in Afrin, Girê Spî and Serê Kaniyê, and to bring all of northeastern Syria under its control.
The region is to be demographically altered, as is the case in the already occupied areas, and genocide is to be perpetrated against the Kurdish population.
"The Kurdish people and their international friends should recognize this reality and continue their stance against the fascist and anti-Kurdish genocidal regime.

Turkish state assassinates co-chairwoman of Qamişlo Canton.
Yesterday, there has been another drone strike on the self-government of northern and eastern Syria. Three people were killed and another was critically injured. The dead are the co-chair of the Qamişlo Cantonal Council Yusra Derwîş, her deputy Lîman Şiwêş and her driver Furat Tûma. The co-chairman of the Canton Council was severely injured.
Once again, the Turkish state escalates the murder of democratically elected representatives of the region. Even if the comparison is somewhat misleading, imagine the uproar if, for example, Russia were to assassinate a minister of a German Federal administration because it did not like her politics.

🔥 An analysis on the current Revolt in France
According to this doctrine, the "population" is the permanent matrix of subversion, and therefore needs to be "pacified" by a form of police warfare. Through neoliberal and securitarian globalization, counter-insurgency has become a program of government. The development of neoliberal capitalism has continually deepened precarization and socio-racial inequalities in the suburbs.
The revolt for Nahel is an explosion of general anger linked to the multiplicity of injustices and police oppression against poor and racialized communities.

In 2018, #Turkey violently invaded #Afrin, killing 500 civilians & displacing 300000 indigenous Kurds
➡️ Since then, Turkish-backed Islamists created a system of looting, kidnapping, rape & murder
➡️ Yesterday, the "#Barzani Charity Foundation" opened a center in occupied Afrin
👉 #Barzani's organization is pretending to help the #Kurds, while in fact they are cooperating with the forces who massacred & displaced the Kurdish population of #Afrin
➡️ This directly supports the ethnic cleansing & "turkification" of indigenous Kurdish territories

Action Week on the Anniversary of the Rojava Revolution
On the eleventh anniversary of the revolution in northern and eastern Syria, the Defend Kurdistan campaign is calling for a week of action from 17 to 23 July.
In this regard, the call states:
"It has been eleven years since the revolution in Rojava became a beacon of hope for revolutionary forces worldwide. In times of ongoing crises of the capitalist system, Rojava shows us that social self-management based on women's liberation, grassroots democracy and social ecology is possible and that it is also up to us to fight for it - resolutely and united."
It is precisely the cooperation of Germany and Turkey in the fight against revolution that is to be the focus of the days of action. Since the beginning of June alone, more than 20 people have been killed throughout Kurdistan by Turkish drones, whose technology and weapons are also of German production and engineering.
