We hope that all the marches and protests receive good media coverage and look forward to seeing such coverage in the press

I must admit that having protests during the week has both negative and positive sides to it

Many Kurds work on Fridays and Saturdays so the protests may not receive the support the deserve

On the plus side - more of the general public will see what is happening

Let us hope that the Kurds have suitable leaflets prepared for members of the public

[Anthea]

Kurds have been protesting against build-up of Turkish troops along the Turkish/Western Kurdistan border for many months - now people will take it seriously - surely it would have been far better to prevent Turkey from attacking in the first place

Action plan for Afrin across Germany

Protests against the invasion war of the Turkish army against Afrin Canton of Northern Syria will continue in Germany.

The Kurdish umbrella organization NAV-DEM has published a nationwide action plan for decentralized protests against Turkish military intervention in northern Syria.

According to a statement of NAV-DEM and YJK-E, the protests against the invasion war of the Turkish army against Afrin Canton of Northern Syria will continue.

The statement said;

“The colonialist fascist Turkish state continues to attack Afrin, killing dozens of civilians, mainly women and children. The people of Afrin are resisting against invasion. They are resisting for humanity just like Kobanê did. For this reason, they are receiving further worldwide support every day.

Historic resistance is mounted by the fighters in Afrin in the person of Avesta Xabur.

The resistance of Afrin has brought the Kurds and democratic forces together. The Kurdish people and democratic forces rising up around the world against the invasion has given strength and morale to the Afrin resistance.

This uprising must continue and people in Europe and all around the world must stand up against the invasion of Afrin.”

The list of demonstrations for Afrin scheduled to take place across Germany is as follows;
