Over the past weekend the Turkish State launched an all-out attack against Rojava, the autonomous territory in Northern Syria under control of the Kurdish movement for freedom. Dozens of warplanes have hit the isolated western canton of Afrin opening the way for the jihadist fighters under the protection of Turkey to be bussed in for a ground invasion. Turkey’s mad-dog president Tayyip Erdogan has declared that they will cleanse Afrin form terrorists. In this instance “terrorists” mean the Kurdish people of Northern Syria.

The Kurdish People’s Protection Units, the YPG, and their women counterpart, the YPJ have been the main force in driving out ISIS from Syria and now they will have to face the Turkish State with all its might. Come be a voice to defend their gains as they try to put in practice an ecological and feminist vision for the 21st century.
