El dissabte vinent 13 de febrer Azadí Plataforma organitzem una Jornada Solidària amb Kurdistan. Durant mesos hem estat acostant la realitat del conflicte kurd en multitud de xerrades, debats, actes polítics… Però en aquesta jornada volem fer-ho d’una forma més profunda. La centralitat de la jornada seran els diferents tallers i xerrades que hem preparat. Volem explicar d’una forma més analítica i estesa els diferents vessants de la lluita del poble kurd. Cada una de les xerrades i tallers desenvoluparà algun dels temes que a les xerrades que s’han fet fins ara normalment no s’arriben a tocar per manca de temps i per la complexitat del conflicte. Quasi totes les activitats comptaran amb la presència d’algun membre de la comunitat kurda per explicar-nos de primera mà la seva visió.
Al matí (11:30) es durà a terme el taller sobre el moviment d’alliberament de gènere del Kurdistan, intentant posar especial èmfasis en sortir dels tòpics que normalment es projecten sobre les dones d’Orient Mitjà.

(Child burned to death after Turkish onslaught on Cizre building)
Turkish state forces are implementing an all-out media blackout across the town of Cizre in the wake of yesterday’s offensive by Turkish forces on two buildings where wounded people had taken shelter and were trapped as a result of artillery attacks over a sixteen day siege. At least 60 Kurds – men, women and childrem – are known to have lost their lives. Most of those inside the building had been sheltering in the basement. The Turkish Government claimed all the occupants were members of the proscribed PKK. A local political leader has stated that the attack had all the hallmarks of a military-Ergenekon (‘deep state’) alliance, as part of the Government offensive against the Kurds. So far, mainstream media in the West has ignored the massacre. Continue reading Cizre massacre of 60 Kurds ascribed to ‘war alliance’ including ‘deep state’ Ergenekon→
Non c’è fine alla violenza dell’esercito turco nella città di Cizre, nella provincia di Sirnak, che dal 14 dicembre vive un coprifuoco di 24 ore ininterrotto. Da quella data ad oggi almeno 73 sono le persone uccise dall’esercito di Erdogan, purtroppo un numero destinato ad aumentare se si considera che le autorità turche non permetto nemmeno alle ambulanze di avvicinarsi e così anche ai volontari impedendo quindi i soccorsi ai feriti. Uno scenario di rastrellamento casa per casa in una città sotto assedio. Continue reading Non si ferma l’assedio nella città di Cizre→
